Hacking?

[StrikeHedgehog]

My question really is what exactly did they hacked that made it necessary to shut down the online servers?

Got on as MODs. Shut down to keep them from getting on as other users as well, and also to prevent them from incorrectly using mod powers.

So they hacked it through the use of a in-game modification on the hacker's end?

No, MODs as in Moderators.

Oh. So he hacked into one of the moderator accounts and shut it down?

It's somewhere on the forums, but now it requires a lot of digging to find, so to sum it up: multiple people got into a couple moderator accounts, messed around with stuff, didn't shut it down but caused panic/confusion, they posted links to frame other sites (frame for lack of a better word), and they (people in charge of the game, not the hackers) had to shut down servers to keep everyone else safe/stop confusion.

yeah, shutting down the servers was a pretty much one of those "better safe than sorry moments.' besides, if these guys are able to hack moderator accounts, well...

I've been flipping through the hacker's Tumblr posts, and they are definitely just trolls. They do, however, appear to be angry at our lovely staffers.
I bet my house they're just a load of butthurt troublemakers who were angry for being banned or something.

In that case, hopefully these guys don't try it again and again. I hope the MODs can make a better security defense in case something like this happens again.

in all honesty, that would not surprise me in the least bit.
