Role-Playing Game Site Hacked, 650,000 Affected

I can't say the game's security was that bad, since it was a a day-zero exploit. (If you don't know what a day-zero exploit is, it's linked in the article... Yeah, I had to look it up, too.)

I figure online games tend to have good security, since all the script kiddies want to hack them. Ah, nothing like a little cheating to get you that Sword of Destruction +9... if you're a no skill wanker, that is.

:joystick: :throw:

I had not heard of this. I did some research and found that they gained access through an exploit in a program called TikiWiki.

So much for open source security. :evil:
