Is this a sign?

Recently the Rometotalrealism forums were hacked, is this a omen that we will be hacked, or a omen that 0.8 with come soon, or a Omen that 7.0 is better/worse then 0.8?

No, yes and surelly.

I didn't know the RTR forums were hacked, are you sure? has it been verified?

also, I don't see how RTR's hacking necesarily means the hacker population has increased and is on the march for EB. And what on earth does it have to do with the quality/finish date of EB???

(or RTR even? does getting hacked reflect poorly on its quality as a mod?)

bad news about RTR though...ah well, I hope they can resolve the issue...

I don't think it says much of anything along those lines. It's sad to hear. They have big forums over there and their members talk about lots of other things like that. We are just present here and at the twc board for EB, so we have a lower profile for sure, and don't want to get drawn into a situation where the people who targeted them might do the same to boards that we are on. It says nothing else about the mod itself other than that though.

I said OMENS but considering how many people babbled about EB those hackers might move to here.

And it has been verified, yesterday there was a giant sign saying that the Turkish hackers have hacked this site Blah blah blah blah.

oh, I missed that. All I saw was that "directory listing denied" thing. And I agree with Teleklos, I don't think it'll move anywhere (at least I hope not

) this is probably some prank or mean joke, not organized RTW-mod-raiding. I don't know a lot about cyber-space, how long does it take to regain control after someone hacks you? maybe this is an elaborate trick and they're about to release 7.0 tomorrow!

If someone has hacked RTR, it means they have something against RTR, so then why would they hack RTR's competition?

It was probably that slimey fatso who was stealing money from them who hacked them anyway. The guy who runs the fake RTR site...

Seems like a large number of forums are being hacked by scripts lately.... Has TW taken any preventive measures?

**AngryAngelDD** · 06-27-2006, 20:15

i hope you are right....7.0 would be excellent....but i fear that will not happen.

Anyway they had a trojan/keylogger which had send itself with a .wmf-file to all/most forum-users with IE.
I think they are off while removing this issue.

(i have IE too, but any scans with various anti-spyware-tools shows no problems so far)
