Malicious security breach...

[Samuel]

Hi all,

Unfortunately a malicious hacker has managed to breach our server and access the Chronicles database, it is currently unknown what data has been breached, but, I would guess that they have likely got hold of passwords.

I would like to sincerely apologize for this breach and assure you I am going to be working around through out the night if I have to to ensure that one this security breach is 100% patched, and two, that all of your accounts are secure again.

Unfortunately as we are a small team communication from is will be spotty, however, rest assured we are doing all that is in our power to resolve this.

We will be resetting ALL passwords and will be sending out new passwords via the emails you registered with... For those who did not register with a legitimate email address *cries softly into hands* we will deal with on an individual basis.

Once again I sincerely apologize for this, I can't believe there are people still in the community that are this malicious.

Thanks as always for your support and interest,
Chronicles Development Team.

Thanks for the honesty Sam. Realistically what are the odds of the server being back online tonight? Not high I'm guessing?

damn hope theres no rewind. made 280% today. it was a slog.
Support the team doing what they need to do to get this sorted though

 

[Shank]

How do you know they've done all that?

I didnt use a proper email i think :X im screwed! haha

Sad news , thanks for letting us know tho. And to think I had gotten used to my new password for chronicles >.< time to learn and remember a new one.

Also, can tell the servers are down when LOMCN is as slow as a snail riding a turtle.

Nice one for being honest Sam, it's never easy but I consider it to be a positive thing when the community gets all the news, good or bad.

a snail riding a turtle.

[Sanity]

Shut up about turtles.

i am guessing from the amount of botters that this sort of breach was expected (atleast slightly in my mind), they are after gold to sell and you even have a thread to report the botters.

im gutted man.

in all honesty though i think there needs to be a rewind as lots of people where getting lagged out and maybe someone was using there accounts when they got lagged out?!?! im no expert though. this was happening for a good hour or 2 before this thread.

How do you know it wasn't someone on the team messing about and being corrupt? Just saying!

While we're talking about the 'team' who is actually on the team?

What proof is there for you to think someones 'breached' the server database?

Kinda feel sorry for the 20 or so people who have no RL and have been spending a stupidly high amount of time playing. ....oh wait it past.

 

[Merc_Draven]

Keep the game closed until problems have been fixed and maybe comb through the game for cheaters/hackers, exploiters and banish thier accounts. been hearing *rumors* about people being able to dupe millions of gold using trust merchant, this needs to be looked at and carefully sorted.

Catch yas when if they game becomes play-able again! Keep up the good work!

I did not use my email because I don't trust these private servers security wise. seems I was right.

 

[Koriban]

I'm hoping you were smart and used hash passwords to protect peoples data.

I'll be crying into my hands softly if this isn't the case lol.
