Hellgate London Code Stolen?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday July 11, 2006 @02:30AM from the hl2-all-over-again dept.

The Gamers With Jobs Press Pass is reporting on a rumour that the code for Hellgate:London has been stolen. 'Reliable sources' indicate that Flagship Studios' servers have been taken down (and hopefully secured) in the wake of the incident. From the article: "My source indicates that the virtual break-in was conducted by a Chinese individual who is currently attempting to sell the code from a personal website. For those of you who don't know, Hellgate: London is the first project by ex-Blizzard developer Bill Roper and his new studio, the game has been at the last two E3's and looks to be shaping up very nicely."

maybe he's a troll but it's so true. Turn on a ssh server and monitor your /var/log/secure over a weeks time and perform a whois on the attackers. Also install snort and check the logs for that. It's amazing what a large percentage of the attacks come from china, japan, and poland.
