*** Infestation: Survivor Stories ***

silly question but anyone played this in the last couple of days? still as hacktastic as ever i guess?

Yup they're still ESP and aimboting like crazy its so obvious.

out of curiousity what are spawns like, still no ammo dropping?

The only ammo im finding is when i kill someone,None actually spawning in the world...they want you to buy it which i refuse to do and always will do.
 
Found a blazer yesterday in Rocky Ford lying in the garage.

Doesnt seem half as bad hacker wise, managed to kill 4 people, one with a knife hehe and only died once to a guy who managed to see me in the forest at 2am, go figure.
 
i'm still playing it but i'm on a private server so not bothered at all by hackers.

I find Private servers to be rather boring,Yeah its good for racking up your inv but just seems boring without the risk factor of someone killing you,Thats what makes the game for me.

I found one in there too as swell a few weeks back after the loot changes.
Shame Rocky never spawns M16 or body Armour anymore,use to find tons there.

I wonder if they will EVER get the forums back up,Never known a company take soooooo long to do things. :D
 
No rush for them to put the forums back up I expect, it was all criticism anyway and I expect they are looking to wind this ill fated game down already.
But where are they going to announce hot fix, patch etc.. Facebook? O.o
 
I didn't want to install that either, it could be anything!

OP Productions LLC Issues Security Update for The War Z Game Players

We’ve concluded our preliminary investigation of the attack by hackers on our forum and game. This Security Update is being issued to advise our players and forum participant on the preliminary results of our investigation. We will continue to work with security experts and our internal team to improve our game network and are cooperating with authorities in their investigation.

What we have learned.

1) Our Investigation. As soon as we learned that hackers had obtained access to our forums we began a thorough investigation, calling on our internal team as well as outside experts. For purposes of the investigation we assumed the worst, that the hackers gained access to the entire system, and reviewed the entire system for evidence of access, security vulnerability and other tampering. With the preliminary investigation completed, we have learned that the attack was concentrated on the forums. We did not find definitive evidence that our game account database was accessed.

2) Our Forums were accessed by hackers. Hackers were able to access certain administrator accounts on our forums using previously installed backdoors. Using these accounts they were able to access and delete the forums database which contains all forum messages, as well as forum participant account information.

3) Information that was accessed. The forums database contained unencrypted email addresses used to log-in to the forum, forum passwords which were encrypted, as well as IP addresses from which players log into the forum. The database did not contain player names (unless identified in their email address) and did not contain payment information, which we do not receive or retain. Forum passwords were encrypted, but our investigation indicated that many participants use weak passwords that could be guessed using brute force.

4)Access to the game. Forums are hosted independently from the game. They are not connected to the game itself. By accessing the administrator accounts the hackers were able to obtain the administrators' passwords used for their game accounts. With these passwords the hackers were also able to access certain “dev” level game accounts and play the game using those accounts. They were able to ban up to several dozens of players randomly. We disabled the hacked accounts, identified the wrongly banned players and reversed those bans within hours of the attack.

5)No definitive proof of access to Game Accounts Database. We have not found definitive proof that hackers were able to access the game accounts database. Because we value the security of the game data and the privacy of our players we took an aggressive and comprehensive approach in our investigation. Better to be safe than sorry. Out of an abundance of caution we advised all players to change their passwords, and, if they used the same email and password for other accounts, to change those passwords as well. We suggested using longer and stronger passwords with a combination of numbers, upper and lower case letters and special characters. Although there was no evidence of access to player game accounts, we believe taking this cautious approach will help improve our game security. We are proud that our players have followed our recommendation and changed their passwords.


What we doing ?

1)As a result of our investigation, we have taken steps to improve security of the forums and the game. We took forums offline, completely wiped the forums servers and reinstalled new software. We have installed several layers of hardware and software security. Players may see some of these measures, but most are behind the scenes. In addition we have made changes for aesthetic purposes, such as switching to IPB. We are confident that the changes we have made will make our forums more secure as well as will increase usability.

2)In order to enhance game security, we took the game offline on for half a day on April 1 and 2 to completely reinstall all software we’re using, install additional hardware protection against possible attacks, and install additional third party services to help us check and monitor security of the whole system. We are continuing to invest significant resources to make our system even more secure

3)We continue actively working with several third party security experts and are giving our full cooperation to authorities in their ongoing investigations into the attack, it’s origin and methods used.
 
Just read this ^^

Still ain't a single word about what they are doing about the games security, which should be their priority.

Sod the forums, invest more time and effort saving the damn game!!
 
This has to be an April fools right?

If its not april fools,Its a slap in the face with a wet sloppy fish for us genuine loyal players. :mad:

Edit - lol they dont even show what the current vote is, something tells me a surprising number of people will vote to allow this kind of revernue stream... Err cheat server. Seriously, the ability of the people still playing this to take abuse and keep on lapping it up never ceases to amaze...

I can't believe people play this game. I've followed it since announcement and almost everything I've read has made me facepalm. Could they possibly make any more disasters? There's accusations of all sorts of nonsense buried away. Rocket must be laughing at this.
 
1000gc free for all players due to server/forum downtime.

ho hum, better than nothing I suppose. might mean there'll be an influx of ammo in the game with clowns stocking up thanks to the free gc...if they can be found!
 
According to someone from my steam list, the warz developers are saying that we only had access to their *forums* that's so untrue, we had access to their database and every account information not to mention we used to get the updates from their dedicated servers. we pretty had access to everything. nice try thought.
