Is this a sign?

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...

Because we are not really RTR competition, but just EB? Actually, another bunch of volunteers that spend insane amounts of their time working to build a great game from the promising basis CA delivered. Just like RTR...

They must have taken it off for some reason.

Shoudn't hacking be Illegal?

**orwell** · 06-27-2006, 22:06

Should be, but as far as US law and my knowledge of it is concerned, its only illegal when money gets involved, and I've never heard of anyone getting caught for some of the minor stuff.

**toxicseagull** · 06-27-2006, 22:08

i seem to remember certain kinds are. but internet laws in most countrys are at least 5 years behind anything and debated and discussed by people who have little knowledge or live experiance with computers in general, and who listen to "experts" who see things as "dead straight" and do not account for human behaviour and thoughtfullness (ie hacking), so they live in a nice seperate world :)

Went a couple of days back. Some Java thing installed something on my computer before I could close it. Only just got back from formatting and reinstalling. It wasn't too bad though, had plenty of time to backup all my goodies. But its so annoying that such a thing can happen. No more using Windows Explorer. It’s FireFox all the way for me now.

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)
