Title: Hacking?
Post by: razmirz on November 27, 2015, 11:55:20 am
Quick Update

Yeah little blip.

Firstly your passwords are safe.

We have a temporary solution that should up and running possibly today if not I should hope its in place by the end of the weekend.

Long term solution will take a bit longer and needs more looking into. Not that I guess anyone minds as long as service is resumed.

Oh, okay. I was a bit worried about my connection when I tried getting onto FH earlier, I decided to check out the side and I'm glad you guys are working on it. I hope it'll be fixed up today, and if not, oh well. I'm sure you guys can do it. :3

I just hope the moderators will get it cleaned up. ^^

Don't know if I'd call over a hundred people being so scared to the point of shaking 'fun', but tbh, I agree with Luna, you should really feel thankful that you missed out on what went down. It was really stressful.

It's ashamed some people have to ruin the fun today. Even though i am banned from the wifi (but secretly on my mom's tablet), it does sound quiet upsetting. I hope the staff finds the solution.

i'm not sure why you are taking me personally bud lol. i just find some dweebs messing around with a game kind of funny because they can't really do anything else. there was no point of getting scared because any damage that they can do can be easily be resolved by the mods, unless they actually have the server files. again, i'm glad the staff are doing something about it. i'm not some insensitive little jerk.

also, being scared is what the hackers want. :L

I honestly don't know why anyone would care so much to go as far as hacking FeralHeart. I mean, what reason is there? Is the game really that important to them that they feel the need to hack into it? To prove what, then, exactly? That they could? How stupid.
Title: Re: Hacking?

Ahhh so it was not my laptop being a dweeb. Glad. I was getting a tad annoyed with it trying to figure everything out.
Title: Re: Hacking?
Post by: PrettyReckless on November 27, 2015, 09:24:16 pm
This is starting to look like a chat/discussion thread more than anything else.

There's no need to start a discussion/argument here
I believe there's no reason to get upset because people find this "amusing".
Judging by most people's reactions they're finding it amusing because they think whomever is behind all of this is "sad" and "pathetic".
I see how the choice of word "fun" can be upsetting as well since this is something which affects all of us who care about and enjoy the game.
Personally I do not see any amusement in any of this, but people are different.

Please don't start fights over this though.
We'll misunderstand each other from time to time but there is no need to get defensive.

It seems as if it has been offline all day, as of what I know. I got a little deeper into the subject and found out some info. I'll share with you what I know: First of all, there were multiple hacking threats instead of just one. That's why it's been offline all day. Second of all, I recently seen a few MOD's posts, they said that your account is completely safe, the Admins have ahold of all of our accounts right now. So no need to get all worked up about it. The MODs predict that it will take all day to get it fixed, maybe all weekend. I know it's a long time, but they're just trying to keep us safe. I hope it helped! :)

I would say probably yes. This game has been around a while. There's no doubt it is a possibility. I'm not 100% sure though. I think it would be a yes. I am just wanting to help.

Basically some hackers were able to hack into the staff's accounts and got ahold of the mod chat and whatnot. There's really no need to worry as the mods are taking care of everything as we speak.

Ok, well, I dug a little deeper than I previously have, and I found even more info. I will gladly help you. :) Ok: There has been a few assuming culprits: MoonLight and Cereal Soup. The hackers have been advertising MoonLight's website to steal their account and blame them for hacking. It turns out, no one has actual proof that it was them, BUT! The links were mostly fake and now everyone's blaming Cereal Soup for it.

It's Moonrise, not Moonlight, but that's besides the point. Nobody really knows who is doing it. The hackers came out and said 'Cereal Soup sends their regards' which is why everyone is assuming its them, but the weird thing is why would they word so hard on a game like CS just to throw it all away by hacking one of their main sources of attention and then blowing their cover? That's what doesn't make sense to me, and is why I don't believe it's either Moonrise or CS.

Both the staff of CS and MR have said that none of their staffers have sent hackers/hacked FH, the CS staff didn't know about it until much later, and MR has locked down their own forum because of this.

Good luck with fixing the game Raz.
Hope it'll be an easier process.

Whoops! Sorry! At least I had an idea of the name! I never implied it was either of them, I'm saying most people are assuming that it's them. I never believed that it was them, but many other people are. No one knows.........

Thanks for filling me in. This morning when I couldn't get on I thought something was wrong with my computer(I didn't check the forums right away) but I'm glad they are working hard to resolve the issue and nobody so far has gotten hurt from it in some form or another.

Alright, I've got an update on my information source. I was speaking to one of the CS staff on Tumblr and most of their staff had no involvement. Only two are on my high suspect list, not the entire staff team as a whole. One of the suspects was just recently kicked from the CS staff team for a huge fight, according to my CS source. I believe that is the culprit, or one of them.

That would be possible, but you don't know what they were fighting about. Please, let's not jump into conclusions just yet. It is probably the closest we are going to get, but as I posted earlier, No one knows......

Thing is, I know the staff member who was kicked personally. They hate me, we've had a lot of personal issues. Plus, they are targeting Moonrise, which means it's someone connected to me.

Plus, it'd make sense for someone recently kicked after a big fight to pin the blame on CS as a whole. I believe wholeheartedly that my prime suspect is one of the hackers.

I made alot of friends on feralheart and I would hate to see it go. I doubt it will, since I have faith in the mods that they can act and help, but it's still frightening for the loyal members. Hope you get it sorted soon, and the best of luck to you ^^

I know I should be positive, but FeralHeart helped with my depression by giving me a place to connect to a community, most of which are really nice people and they've helped me. It's sad to see something like this going down. I wish I could provide any information, but alas, I have nothing to show or give to help. I'm sorry about that, and I'm hopeful for the mods and staff to get this sorted, I believe in them.

Do you guys have any ideas on who's doing it? Anyone you've angered to the max? Sorry, for getting so nosey, but I usually find out that problems are solved easier when everyone in the community works as a whole to solve it. Especially since we all love this game so much due to it being our escape for some and or a place to gather with friends for others.

I have a question: what exactly did the hacker do on the game?

They got ahold of all of the staff accounts and were able to get onto them and pose as staff, speak in mod-speak, etc. Buffy was able to get control of it by banning the staff accounts temporarily while everything was happening.

Sort of bummed I missed it, but I'm sure there's screenies floating about somewhere. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if some of the drama llamas over at KITO trickled down into FH; despite it not being a IT server.

All the same I wouldn't say anyone should worry about Feral Heart being down for good. This isn't the first time it was closed down to fix problems and I'm sure it wont be the last. (Shout out to anyone that remembers the days when entire map servers in game would go out.) Feral Heart has been through a lot and has always pulled through so don't worry. It'll be around one way or another in the end for us all to keep enjoying.

Seriously, though. I see the logic in people thinking someone trying to make both games look bad. I honestly don't see why someone would do this though. It's an amazing game for bringing people together. it's not like you need to pay for it and they can hack into bank accounts. This game has no physical money involved. It does have a value though, a value of those playing it. Stay strong, mods! :D

Well, I just hope that everything is alright.. I'm just scared that Its Someone Hacking into feralheart that was making The Connection Fail. But I read everything I could. Its just Something wrong with the Game server I think. This morning I tried to log on and said "Game Server Online" With No numbers beside it. I Refreshed my Internet and tried again. Then I looked on the Forums, And saw It was offline. Hopefully the FH Team can fix it! :)

Do you guys have any ideas on who's doing it? Anyone you've angered to the max? Sorry, for getting so nosey, but I usually find out that problems are solved easier when everyone in the community works as a whole to solve it. Especially since we all love this game so much due to it being our escape for some and or a place to gather with friends for others.

Err, we know its Cereal Soup, for once question. O_O
we don't know it cs, and its probably not.

Razmirz shut down the server temporarily due to the current issue at hand, it should be up again eventually. Hang tight!

I know that it probably won't be a problem for alot of members, but I'm scared this'll somehow bring feralheart down. I am really supportive of the staff team and hopeful they are able to keep it up. I made alot of friends on feralheart and I would hate to see it go. I doubt it will, since I have faith in the mods that they can act and help, but it's still frightening for the loyal members. Hope you get it sorted soon, and the best of luck to you ^^

Don't worry, staff is working on solving the issue. :)

If you don't know who caused the problem or don't know which side to choose, it'll be best to just keep your mouth shut. I get along with the CS staff very well and pretty much can say I know them well by now. I probably say they're the most nicest people and wouldn't dare interfere with the FH staff's account and hack the game. I mean, they got a life too...but hacking isn't one of it.

Long story short, hackers. They got ahold of Raz's account, and then the other staff members' accounts. Buffy banned the staff accounts so the hackers couldn't get on them, and then Raz shut the server down so they can figure out what to do. No need to worry, though! The staff has everything under control.

On another note: I have mentioned before that being fearful of a hacker will only make them stronger. I'd advise everyone to keep calm and let the staff deal with this. FeralHeart has run strong for 4-5 years, so the chance of this game being destroyed is very slim. If you see any evidence of the hackers on other sites, ignore them. Their only goal is to scare and anger the community.

Good advice. Though instead of ignoring evidence of hackers you should immediately report it to a staff member so they can take care of it. Stay calm and keep positive, everyone! Things are going to get back to normal eventually.

I strongly believe the FH Team will do something about it. :)
I at first thought I got banned or my internet connection was blocking feral heart from not playing, until I saw the forum post about hacking, so I'm a bit sad about that, but I hope this will end soon because FH is a amazing game that shouldn't be hacked by selfish people.

They've made quite the scene for themselves so it's a bit hard to miss for staff. However we do strongly suggest just to leave them be since attention is clearly something they enjoy. Try to fill the FH feed with something more of purpose and meaning. There's no point in wasting energy on such trash.

Quick Update

Yeah little blip.

Firstly your passwords are safe.

We have a temporary solution that should up and running possibly today if not I should hope its in place by the end of the weekend.

Long term solution will take a bit longer and needs more looking into. Not that I guess anyone minds as long as service is resumed.

Raz


Ok, I understand that. But I may have a bit more information..

Yesterday, around 10:00-11:00 PM EST, I was on one of my new lion role-play characters (I've been testing them out) and came in front of a person making the odd-shaped characters in SB. One of their names was squash. After a while, another person decided to try it via whisper of the main hacker and came back with the name squish. The first was a wolf, the other a lion. Most of the people were awe-struck (they were surrounding said members) and I wasn't as much.

I REMEMBER THAT THEY WERE NOT ON THE ___ USERNAMES. THEY WERE ON REAL AND CLEAR ONES.
I am sooo sorry that I forgot them. ;;

But those people who were amazed at the character probably took screenshots! We need to find them!

Please understand I wasn't part of this- I just thought it was a bug and went to bed shortly after.

I must agree, what would be the reason behind this. This wonderful staff takes the time to make this game a whole lot of fun, and they aren't paid. A free game that can be fun for everyone, and then someone decides it would be a big laugh to hack it. It isn't cool to disrupt something people have worked so hard on. And if you have a problem with staff for them banning you for a "Unknown Reason." as they say, you obviously did something to violate the rules.

What stops them now? I have NO idea what's capable of being done. Passwords are safe; thats fine and dandy, but what about the game?

As to the relevant post by DarkFurry, Akar reminds me of another user name on my friend list. Perhaps they have multiple accounts. I'd ban the IP adresses, but that's me.

Ah I can answer, though I don't agree.
Much of the time since there are so many players and so few staff, responses can be slightly slow or reactions to mass spam, cursing, etc. violations to rules may not happen instantly.

On another note, many are angry with the creator of the game for a lack of updates. They often take it out on the staff, saying they should do better and take control themselves.

My personal opinion is they are doing the very, very best they can, and if they do that, it is enough for me.

What I want to know is why they dragged MR and CS through the mud as well when they hacked. I don't think this is only against FH.

Perhaps they dislike something and are using this as a cover? I don't know. Perhaps it is a personal beef with the game's mods and admins?

Honestly that's what I think. I don't think this is truly against FH entirely. I seriously think that the ones behind this are someone with a vendetta against me/Moonrise and CS. Because honestly, the main thing they did was spam my site link, as well as acting as if they were sent from CS.

Oh dear. That really sounds as if they are trying to crush the infrastructure and trust in the game. Think of this: Since the servers are down, some that do not use forums will think for sure that the game has 'died' as many have feared. This loses trust with the admins and mods, yes? Therefore there are less players, and less revenue from the adds on this site. This would, in turn, ACTUALLY kill the game.

I've noticed quite a few interesting patterns...there was once a time where a person (or team) made it their sole MISSION to hack and destroy every furry website possible, and they messed up quite a bit of the famous ones.
Not too long ago, Dragon's Den and Azoptaos were hacked. Wolf Soul was hacked more than once, back when I still played it. The common theme I keep seeing here is the way the "hacking" goes...Either the game, the forum, or both get shut down and messed with and the people responsible either don't say a word but act in ways that make their presence obvious...or we have these Tumblr idiots blowing up a storm...The thing is, I think the reasoning behind this is that once an opening is found through sites or games that people think will be prime victims, they get almost a power rush...They feel "awesome" or cool or special that they have this "power" to dismantle something hundreds of people dearly care for. 99% of the time, they have NO real motive other than to cause trouble and to get attention..and that's all they are - attention-seekers. They don't care what the members of a site/game will do in reaction..if anything, they WANT panic and sadness because negativity gets more attention, and guess what - that's what they want.
These people were either extremely bored or insecure in their own pathetic existence..seeing by their Tumblr posts, it's clear there is NO reason for their actions other than to make fools of themselves. They respond like trolls - it's like talking to a brick wall. They will never calmly respond in a mature manner because not giving any answers, or giving flat ones that fall through, are "funnier" for them.

It sucks that none of us can play tonight, I can say that...but we all need to understand the PSYCHOLOGY behind this. The more attention we give this, the more power these "hackers" get.
And the funny thing...when people say they "hack" things in today's world..most often, it's just that they found a password to something they shouldn't have.

I hope that the staff are doing okay and not too stress over this..many of us are not technically making the situation better. All we can do is analyze, understand the psychology, and wait it out.

I hope it doesn't end up like some other old games did. In around Christmas of 2014, Lizard Squad shut down the Xbox servers and I couldn't play COD that week.

I can wait a month, but I hope the game doesn't get to the point where its finally dead.

FeralHeart will be fine, most likely. The hackers didn't seem to get anything critical- the most they seemed able to do was kick people and distort their characters. They don't have access to Raz's personal server files, they can't truly harm the game or server data.

I'm more worried about Moonrise and CerealSoup, which are Proboards forums. Neither of us own or control the server itself that keeps the site running and so won't be able to backup everything. If WE are hacked, we could lose a lot. FeralHeart won't really be losing anything, to be honest.

I was there during most of this---pretty scary stuff. I'm really afraid for what will happen to FH, but I trust that the staff have it under control. I don't think Feralheart will be ending anytime soon, even if the server has to stay down for awhile.

For now, I think everyone should just be calm. We shouldn't be pointing fingers at anyone or starting to break the game rules.

I doubt they'd ever give them out. Fear of copiers. Fear of unbanning their own IPs. You can never be for certain, and this I understand. I just wish someone could give me an update of progress, or perhaps I have missed it in my worried rambles. Talking has soothed my nerves. For now.

Just going to say this; this thread isn't meant as a chat thread, it was meant as an announcement. As NegativeTen said, everyone should just calm down, stop pointing fingers, and don't assume anything until the staff has figured this all out. There is no need to be scared about anything, FeralHeart is not going anywhere, it will be back soon. The staff members will fix this, we as a community have to be patient and need to help the staff by not causing anymore problems or drama so they can focus on the task at hand.

You know, you actually have a really good point here.
Sometimes people don't need a legit reason to cause trouble like this on a game website or forums other than to just cause panic and chaos among members. These "hackers" more than likely dragged similar games into this like Moonrise and Ceral Soup to spread the chaos further, and make members of each community start pointing fingers as to who is responsible. "The hackers mentioned Moonrise and Ceral Soup. Therefore they must be behind this!" That's what they want us to think.
Whether this whole hacking mess is because the hackers are doing this for no reason but to cause trouble among the different animal MMO games, for a "revenge" mission against the FH staff, or something else, we may not truly know. The best we can do is not give them anymore attention, and get this sorted out.

I believe several staffers have responded to you this evening, from what I am told.

We can't make promises that we'll have the answer to everybody's questions in the greatest detail at the end of the day, but if we are able to help give a heads-up to any other gaming communities, we must first get our own matters in line before we can do this.
Bear with us for a little while. It'll be alright.

Also, AbyssalRadiance had a great post up there about the hackers in general. They be trollz. Sit tight, Raz works his magic, and we'll be fine. No need to fret over them or give them your attention from the general community. They don't deserve such, no? :p

Ima agree, the "hackers" must of wanted to spread the chaos further by framing CS & Moonrise. I suppose the hackers wanted to make it spread and make the community fall apart.

Just going to say this; this thread isn't meant as a chat thread, it was meant as an announcement.

With all do respect, Hooli, but I think if this thread was not meant for discussion, Raz, or the moderators, would have locked it to prevent any discussion here. You're right when you say we should not be pointing fingers, making accusations, and assumptions about all this, and we should let the staff handle this situation. However, I think this thread was put here for the members to express their feelings on the situation. So far, it doesn't look like the thread has gotten out of hand. People are just discussing what they witnessed in the game, informing uninformed members of what happened, what they have found on other sites that might help the staff figure this out, showing their support for the game, and having optimistic thoughts that the moderators will fix this. If this topic does get out of hand or off topic, a moderator will lock it up.

I will say that I hope this problem will get resolved quickly to where we can all carry on with our fun in the community. We just need to be patient and hope for the best.

This is one of the many reasons Feral Heart needs to be updated.
Glitches aside because some of them are just down right hilarious to watch such as your tongue coming out of your forehead. From what I've heard from other people with the right amount of training in the hacking field the servers and all of our accounts are just an easy trip to Chuck-E-Cheese for these people. I get that updating things can be hard but I feel as if it is a personal duty to further improve security. I am willing to donate money if that is what is required to make this possible.

I think most of us understand the importance of the matter at hand. I know I myself understand how this all works and the amount of work it takes to go through and fix things. You are correct in that patience is needed. I myself said how we all need to wait things out..repeating general "this sucks" comments, like some are doing, doesn't do much to help the staff, or reassure them that we are understanding of their tough situation.

I believe several staffers have responded to you this evening, from what I am told.

I reiterate what I said above, to further White's response.. Patience, analysis, and understanding is what's needed here, not panic and worry. As someone else said, these "hackers" did not get the kind of information some people are fearing. It is very unlikely FH will be killed due to this. I can understand how some younger/newer/more immature/misunderstanding players may be scared as something like this is rare, and trust me when I say we're ALL confused as to why such an innocent community has been attacked..but we all need to let the staff chill and do what needs to be done. What also must be remembered, everyone, that the staff are ADULTS; they have real lives outside of the game. While they CARE about the game, they will not drop their friends/families/obligations for it. This will take time and the sooner we all relax and find something else to do or something else to play, the better this situation will fly.

Unfortunately, without KovuLKD Feralheart can not be given a proper update or new feature.
Kov's gone and has been for a few years at least, I doubt he'd suddenly come back and do something about this uwu

The Staff have no ability to update the game, all we have is Raz who can control the server really ;v;

As far as I'm aware, what took place is not a lack security around the site and server, rather flaws within the game and how itself is set up, that's one of the reasons why everything we have here around the site and your accounts is still here without any problems what so ever since that's what we actually have full control over.

It might be a bit hard to see since most is staffing related, but there's many things that always needs to be worked around by the means possible server side since we cannot change how the game works directly. I'd just like users to keep this in mind.

We are still not sure what's actually going on but, we know it will get fixed. We are hoping that the hackers didn't do too much damage to the game. We are extremely concerned with this matter.

Sounds perfectly fine with me White. Been alerting some close friends about their sites, hope everything is alright on your end. My skype had someone trying to break in(but lucky me changed meh password).

For those pointing fingers at MR and CS, we have no reason to believe it was either of them. We can't make even a remote conclusion without the IP's and other information regarding the hacking. It's up to the FH staff team to crack the case sorta speak.

Other than that, if you run a forum and have high access staff, i'd have them change their passwords before allowing those extreme powers back. Just a quick little note for all those gaming communities.

Because of FH and its wonderful game-play it has helped my realize my future career in games developing and i owe so much to FH for that.
It really aggravates me to see this happen not only towards Feralheart but to multiple games including Moonrise and Cerial Soup.

Only recently Dragon's Den and several of the Impressive Title Servers and forums were also "hacked" (it is not really hacking if it is just using stolen passwords) Sadly these pitiful people have no real reason to do any of this except for petty reasons. Best of luck to the staff and hope you get it all sorted ASAP.

The Impressive Title Community beefed up their security and so will FH and soon these people will be long forgotten.

I have gotten to a point.
  Am a loyal user that has been around for almost 4 years and I haven't seen something like this in all the games I've ever played.
   I have been scouting around the Feral-Heart forums,I searched of all the information I could find. There is also a youtube video explaining on short what happened,for those who don't recall or don't want to read all the posts on this thread,as I did.
   From my understandings,those hackers,so called ''404 Errors''With disorted green and black characters and a blank username space ,people say they got send from Cereal Soup or that Moonlight-Warriors (Correct me if I'm wrong) are the culprits.
   I wouldn't see the point in doing this immature act unless they consider Feral-Heart a bigger and good held society of folks.In other eyes,probably they either consider FH as competition or something they can't pass over.
  Regarding to all of those messages,we all can do is wait.The game will be back safely with our accounts in a few days,probably over the weekend.
   Insead of angrily commenting and starting to point fingers at some people that aren't in this mess,we should all sit relaxed and watch for the new posts in the forums.Cross your fingers,everything will be back to normal and those who managed to make this minor catastrophe will be judged after.No one is going to leave without 'paying' .

  Making my post to an end,everything will be sorted out.

I feel like I should step in one last time. It really bothers me that the hackers have stated that they are from Moonrise and/or Cereal Soup. Honestly, who in their right mind would hack a game then boast about it trying "send regards" or posting "advertisements"? It all seems like an immature attack on 3 communities.

It's good to see that the confusion kind of cleared up, and people are starting to see that Cereal Soup as well as moonrise wasn't involved in this.

I'm just glad they can't get to the game files on our computers. Honestly, someone who hacks this website wasn't really thinking it through because it's just a forum. Nothing has happened or been out of the ordinary other than the server being shut off for awhile. What's a hacker gonna do? Change the homepage to say FeralShart? I think this is just someone who wants attention. That, or a mod pissed off the wrong kid.

I'm real late to the party on this one huh? And here I was thinking the on-going storm outside had done a number on my Wifi cable which is currently unburied as we're redoing our driveway. Is there any idea when this could be fixed? Some say tonight and if not then by the end of the weekend while others speculate a month, it's presumably a lot to ask given how complicated developing a game like FH can be. My thanks to all the staff and fellow members that are currently helping the issue be resolved, fingers crossed FH makes an easy, fairly uncomplicated and full-blown recovery.  :)

I feel stupid. I wasn't there when the Error 404 characters were in the game, but I was there the day before and the day before that when these strange characters that were impossibly flat showed up at Stone Bridge, and everyone gawked at them and tried to know how they did it. The first one I saw was called something like FROGRIBBIT or I don't know.

IP banning is sadly the strongest thing anyone can do. Unless they can delete accounts...
IP banning only goes so far though. While it may stop multiple computers on the same general network area, the hackers could get smart and just use a public network at say a library or McDonald's or something where it wont matter.

I'm actually in CS right now, I looked the game up after hearing about this since I never heard of it..it's a nice game but some ridiculous kid came into it saying how stupid and terrible it was, cursed out me and another player, and is just going crazy with immaturity and needless hate..They seem convinced CS did this even though they didn't. I'd get screenies and report this brat to the CS admins but I can't register on their forum for some reason.

I'm hoping this mess gets solved for the sake of EVERYONE because clearly this is what the hackers wanted - a "war" between communities, and it's sad how the most immature ones speak out the most and make the problem worse with ignorance and disrespect.

Best way to break a war effort is to turn allies to enemies.. Been done THOUSANDS of times in history on large and small scale. I am worried a bit about this but the best thing we could do is hope the mods put out a PSA on their feelings about this.

Critical failure, indeed. I hope you got your site protected.. I also hope the servers are up today. I happen to be stuck in bed with flu.. At least the Mods are updating us more often than I expected. I bet they're patching the error or breach to make it 10x stronger.

even though this has been mentioned before. I am still confused why would someone hack feral heart. No one would have anything to gain from hacking this, not many people know about and it is just a role playing game. If they just did it out of pure hatred, it isn't new but. I still find it one of the least worthy reasons to hack something. Hacking something everybody loves isn't going to make you feel better! Watching people suffer is not going to make you feel better!

Don't worry, friend. Your accounts are safe. Do keep in mind that the forum is secure and has not run into any issues as far as what the server has recently gone through, so there's no way for anyone to take your personal information. The passwords on the server are encrypted, and no one is able to take them from the website. Hope this clears a few things up. You're all good. <3

Just because it's sent doesn't mean it's stored that way, however if the password reminder sends the password you should be concerned.

Password reminder sends you a token for your account by the linked email address and not a plain text password..

Guys, I've got an update. One of my initial suspects has been confirmed, through a screenshot I only just now saw a few minutes ago.

Appreciate the update, 'specially if it leads to the servers reopening sometime tonight, the mods are doing a great job and I'm sure everyone will be pleased that a potential suspect may have been discovered. I say may despite the screenshot as there is still no confession or solid proof that said player was a Hacker, they could have been unfortunate enough to have been hacked alongside Mods, that's just my two cents though. I'd hate to jump to any conclusions.

Graystar is right...Anonymous is a HUGE hacker organization that affect governments and societies around the world...if they even KNEW FH existed, they wouldn't care. I'm sorry to be rude but FH is not THAT insanely special. It's special to us players, but to big-wigs, it's nothing.

You should really read the rest of the replies - the staff have posted updates on how things are going and it's predicted that things could work possibly by the end of the weekend. Either way, the staff do have lives, just like the rest of us..they can't work on it constantly and neglect their jobs or families

Title: Re: Hacking?
Post by: AbyssalRadiance on November 28, 2015, 10:55:11 pm
Alright...I think I'm gonna get a lot of heat for this, but I need to say something....

I joined FH a couple years ago, this is just a newer account. It was my first look into the "IT server" realm. Since then I have tried many different similar games. They're all wonderful; they each have their own unique features brought to the table; they each have communities with both good and bad people. The IT realm is a hopeful, bright, creative world and it's wonderful. It has brought me tons of inspiration in my own work and helped me to understand roleplaying more, before I got into art college of course.

I must say though...As much as we all love this game, as important as it is to some players, and the staff..everyone needs to stop and calm down. Everyone is antsy right now, waiting for it to come back..Well I'm sorry but Raz cannot just flick a finger and make it all better. Raz and the other staff are adults with their own friends, families, jobs, obligations, and lives. The game may be something they love, but it always comes second...and it should for the rest of us. I understand many of us want an escape from reality..I understand many players are young children....But what happened to your other PC games? Drawing, reading good ol' fashioned books? Going outside, getting dirty, riding bikes, playing hide and seek or tag or SOMETHING...So many of us are just sitting here waiting for the game and stressing the poor staff out when they're doing all they can with what is available to them.

Who knows...maybe I see this as much more minor because I'm in college and I have other obligations that affect my life more..I dunno. I still love this game of course and just started playing it again recently after having to be gone for over a year. I would hate to see the game die out, as would all of you....but we need to get priorities in order.
The more we fret, the more power the hackers get, the more attention they earn..which is all they wanted. They wanted attention, power, and trouble, which is why they tried to frame Cereal Soup and Moonrise.
It's good that a big event brings the community together, but if we relax, things will flow much more smoothly.

Look around the rest of the forums, go on OTHER forums..go on your art sites, your other IT games..go on Youtube, watch a movie or some tv...doodle, read a book, do some homework (Universe knows I have plenty of it), go outside and chill like back in the 90s and early 2000s before internet got as essential as it is now.

As much as you are all worried...everything is fine. Everything will BE fine. The only reason I myself am lurking and posting more is to try and answer questions for others and see where things are going, but I have things to do too...Let's all just chill, everyone. FH will come back eventually.

LOVE FOR EVERYONE -hugs all around-

Adding onto this, the roleplay boards on the forum can be very interesting to check out, and you might find yourself enjoying them. It doesn't take much to jump into a roleplay there or create your own- you might even make some new friends there.

Don't feel like you have to sit around and wait. We're doing our best to fix things up, and there are plenty of other things to do around the website, as WhiteLightHeart mentioned earlier. Usually there's always a couple topics out there that will catch your interest. c:
Title: Re: Hacking?
Post by: alexterri on November 28, 2015, 11:14:22 pm
Okay, I'm gonna be honest here: while FH is a fun game and I like it, its also basically dead in terms of updates. Yeah, I know, there's tons of player-made mods and maps and whatever, but I mean in terms of official updates. Kovu basically tossed the game out of the window in 2012. And speaking as someone who started playing in late 2011, I feel that this game has become.. inactive in resent years. In 2012, the game server could easily get so crowded that you couldn't get into Flourite because it was filled with too many people. But these days, its super easy to get into Flourite because it usually doesn't get higher then 200 in terms of players [note: I'm just talking about Flourite, there's usually MUCH more players then just 200 during the busiest hours of the day]. Its not just a school problem, either: the game in general has less players then it did before. Its not dead, but Its not super active either.

But this rant isn't REALLY about that. When the hackers hacked the game and I found out about it, there was ONE question in my mind: why.  Like, why  hack FH, a game that a lot of people enjoy and isn't harming anyone, and hack it? I seriously don't understand. FH isn't being really updated anymore, but its still a game that people enjoy, What's the point of hacking> I could understand hacking Wolfquest more then FH: Wolfquest is actually being updated and the makers are making some MONEY off of it. But FH isn't updated and they aren't making any money off of it. There's no point to hacking it.

So yeah, in short, I honestly think these hackers have no good reason to hack FH.

Either way, I hope this gets resolved.

I think perhaps they have a beef about the "literacy" thing people do. Younger members depending on their experience sometimes are shunned out of an rp simply for their lack of experience. Now, honestly, that's like forcing people to like each other.. Its a matter of what you want for your group or personal rp.

I find that some younger members are very good at role play. Very, very good. But at the same time one gravitates toward their age group more or less.. I suppose they think that its 'wrong' to not rp with someone or not allow them in a group due to their experience. Which is like forcing people that are experienced at basketball to invite those that don't play much at all to a team. In the end both parties suffer: The team loses its effectiveness and the new players feel inferior or they feel left out. Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but this is what i see.

Don't go all Red Scare mode on me, but they seem like they're fighting for a just cause. but it wouldn't make sense unless they had personal grudges on the mods, and they've also stated in the tumblr they don't have those. Even if that is their reason, hacking a game is still an awful way to get your point across. Now they just have everyone mad at them.

That's exactly what they want, hun. No matter WHAT their motives are, NO excuse they give would make this event okay. It was immature and pathetic. All these people want is power and attention. I will say this time and time again because that is the basic psychology of it: Weak-minded people with a sad existence will find ways to seek attention and run power trips, especially when behind a keyboard where no one can see their face and harm them. No answers they give will make this an acceptable act, but it would be nice to know...but sometimes people don't have reasons and are simply malicious and bratty.

Don't worry, I agree with the whole just cause thing (in a sense, it depends more or less on morals, experiences, and preferences, but back to the point) I never really said it was a cause. The cause was, at least one theory of it, for attention. The last two sentences are very true.

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.

Post by: Shadowshard on November 29, 2015, 12:03:51 am
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...
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.
if there's one thing i've learned about hackers, is that once they start, they're always bound to try again. however i'm sure the mods will do what they can to prevent another "successful" run. the mods did say they're working on a more long term solution, but they know the players want back in so they just want to do a quick fix for now.

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 all honesty, that would not surprise me in the least bit.
They're trying to justify themselves, saying things like "oh it's a stupid *loads of inappropriate stuff* furry game."

I see many asking this same very sad question:

Why?

Why hack Feral Heart?

Indeed there is nothing to gain from hacking FH but for some, including those who have recently partaken in this terrible behavior, it gives some sort of cheap thrill. Some people are just bad and can only find happiness by destroying other peoples' happiness and the order established by authority. Some of these folks try to justify their wrong doing by blaming the staff and slandering our good names and all that we stand for. They pretend to be martyrs but only prove to be delinquents fueled by a delusional cause. They claim that they are doing this for the betterment of the community and to make a point but in reality all they're doing is disrupting the happiness of many, stirring concerns for security amongst users, tainting an innocent game, ruining the peace and order the staff work so hard to preserve, and spreading lies.

 It's truly pitiful how low some are willing to go.

Do not fret though friends, the community will have its justice. Those who stand against us and the good that we stand for will only stumble and fall from their own wrong doings and foolishness. Karma comes to all. For now we staff focus first on establishing security to our user base and game. Appropriate action will be taken against those responsible for disrupting the peace.

We thank you all for you continued patience and support during this time. Know that work is still being done to get things back up promptly. We look forward to resuming normal in game activity soon!

They can't. They, essentially, played their cards right and didn't steal any personal information, and this game is 100% free so you can't mess with currency and whatnot. Just because law enforcement can't intervene doesn't mean it's okay, though.

Post by: Skullfrost on November 29, 2015, 12:30:49 am
I stand by my belief that this was not an attack on FeralHeart only, really. In fact, it was probably just a cover up. If it was really the staff these people hated, why simply sit there and spam a link to some other game's site?

If it was the FH staff these people were against, and what they wanted was to harm FH itself in some way- why didn't they demote all the staff or something that makes sense(if their reasons are true) like that? I'm not saying they should have done that, just that, well, if the staff were really who they were against, that is something they would have tried to do.

But instead they spammed the link to my website and framed CerealSoup. I wholeheartedly believe that this was an attack on CS and MR, and a lame attempt to start a big war between the sites for their own amusement.

To be honest I'm a bit concerned that everyone seems to be freaking out that "FH might shut down!!!" when it was really MOONRISE and CEREALSOUP who were having their links spammed/were being framed and are being targeted. FH wasn't harmed. However, in the event that someone got into CS or MR, we could literally lose everything bc our sites are hosted by Proboards, we don't own the servers, and we can't back everything up.

If you really look at the situation, FH wasn't really harmed at all and came out perfectly fine. The hackers obviously weren't trying too hard to screw with FH itself. What they want is a site war, or to target CS/MR.

Plus there's the fact that one of them is a long-time enemy of mine who hates me to death and hates Moonrise as well. That's a pretty big red flag.

Don't worry, I'm sure we all will try to support CS or MR if they do run into these problems. I would, at least. I'm sorry that the two games have to also be dragged into this. Hopefully it will all work out.

Hope i helps out in some way. I went and starting reading some of their stuff int he forum, and kind of got a small chuckle since it seems they mostly did this out of spite for the FH staff team. Also dragged the other two games in the mud just for giggles cause they were bored. So even they say the games affiliated in the false posts were just lies and were done to purposely cause a fight or quarrel. So...I hope this ends up helping a few of you and that it helps the Staff in some way.

I've been reading their Tumblr for a while, and with that added forum, it just goes to prove even further how they are trolls.
As much as I hate to admit it, some of the things they said to replies are pretty amusing though. Doesn't make it right, but it's entertaining.

I dislike how childish they were, but it's nothing we could really do about it. As long as the issue is fixed, and I am sure it will be soon, then I think we won't have much worries. Especially if we can figure them out a bit more on the games. So that in hopes we can not allow them to do this once more.

Not sure if I'm correct, but I noticed a post on their Tumblr asking, "...Just curious, when are y'all gonna stop hacking Feral Heart?" The hacker responded, "When are You Fools going to realize We stopped long time ago." I'm not really sure if this is much of a new update (or if it even helps at all) since I've had to come back and forth from a school project to checking FH, and I can't really read all the posts. ^^'

I doubt 13 year old could do something like this. It does seem a bit too complex. Though I suggest that since this forum isn't really a locked one I think it would be best to not really say anything to harsh about them for they might wish to strike again just for more giggles.

None of them knew how to hack, they just somehow figured it out, without the code.

No, their tumblr is still up. Visit it here. (http://deathtofh.tumblr.com/) Though it's advised you don't visit it, as attention is what they want. There's also an explicit warning.

I'd just like to say something regarding the posts that have screenshots of myself..

I did not know this entire event was going to occur. I was hanging out on my Undivided character when someone in the Arai skype chat mentioned the fact that there was a really, really odd looking character named Friggit Froggit (or something along those lines). Curious, I took a couple screenshots of them and sent a couple to another Skype chat which ended up in a discussion that was basically about "Wow, without slider limits maybe we could create more interesting characters such as dachshunds!"

So that led to me asking the user who had the squished character how they did it, and they responded with "YOU WANT IN?" So.. naturally yet pretty cautiously I said sure. They asked me to log off for 5 minutes and then come back, and when I did, I noticed there was a new character on my account.
I was pretty scared because like, how'd they get onto my account and add a character? I thought it was a hack and was about to delete the character when I realized I could use it in case any staff member or something needed proof (I still have it today)
A day or two later I saw the other person, Squash, hanging out and people going "WOW!" so then, y'know, me being the attention deprived puppy, decided to get on Squish and hang out!! because wow!

Yeah anyway, that's my story about how I am completely not related to the hacking event lmao. If anyone would like, I can share screenshots, but there are at least two people who, to my knowledge, went through this same process and are as innocent as I - including the user who had Squash.

Post by: [N]everEnding. on November 29, 2015, 04:27:43 am
"It Begins" was when they began to hack the game. No one knew at first, all they knew was that their characters looked all "Unnatural."  I was there from start to finish, and witnessed a few things they have said. They mentioned making someone's character look like that, if they logged out for a few seconds and then come back. Well, I ended up logging off due to glitching, and when I logged back on... My character looked all distorted... Almost 2D. Not thinking of it, I decided to go on that character, seeing other non-hacking users look like that. Not long after... The hackers log off, and come back as Red and Allegra, trying to blame me and other users for the hacking, while advertising for CS and MR, trying to blame them as well. So, that is what their post "It Begins" means.
Title: Re: Hacking?
Post by: LordSuragaha on November 29, 2015, 04:27:52 am
I stand by my belief that this was not an attack on FeralHeart only, really. In fact, it was probably just a cover up. If it was really the staff these people hated, why simply sit there and spam a link to some other game's site?

If it was the FH staff these people were against, and what they wanted was to harm FH itself in some way- why didn't they demote all the staff or something that makes sense(if their reasons are true) like that? I'm not saying they should have done that, just that, well, if the staff were really who they were against, that is something they would have tried to do.

But instead they spammed the link to my website and framed CerealSoup. I wholeheartedly believe that this was an attack on CS and MR, and a lame attempt to start a big war between the sites for their own amusement.

To be honest I'm a bit concerned that everyone seems to be freaking out that "FH might shut down!!!" when it was really MOONRISE and CEREALSOUP who were having their links spammed/were being framed and are being targeted. FH wasn't harmed. However, in the event that someone got into CS or MR, we could literally lose everything bc our sites are hosted by Proboards, we don't own the servers, and we can't back everything up.

If you really look at the situation, FH wasn't really harmed at all and came out perfectly fine. The hackers obviously weren't trying too hard to screw with FH itself. What they want is a site war, or to target CS/MR.

Plus there's the fact that one of them is a long-time enemy of mine who hates me to death and hates Moonrise as well. That's a pretty big red flag.

It's difficult to speak so surely as to who did what in situations like these. This issue has poured itself outside of the boundaries of just Feral Heart. When it comes to trouble makers this community has had its fair share of posers who are really good at pretending to be someone they are not. The same way they claimed that Cereal Soup & or MoonRise had something to do with this is the same way they can adopt these particular names and pretend to be those people too. I'm not trying to doubt you or say we shouldn't consider that it could be these people, but rather that we should approach this cautiously before passing this information around so surely yet alone publicly.

So basically what I'm saying is that there is no white or black in this situation... It's all really gray. It will take time and careful deliberation before we can even consider exactly who is to blame and punish.

Also harm was indeed done to Feral Heart. It didn't have to be game breaking damage to leave a mark either but rather it was left as a small seed of evil. As I said in my post they not only disrupted the happiness of many but they also stirred concerns for security amongst users. Many users may not feel as safe as they used to prior to the hacking regardless of the fact that no personal data was compromised. They tainted the innocent nature of the game with the fear of hacking and or shut down. Their behavior did indeed ruin the peace and order that staff work so hard to preserve. They also made a mockery of the staff team and our ability to secure the game by accessing our accounts and then slandering us with them over the entire map chat. They are trying to make the community turn against the staff team by posing us as some sort of idiotic, immature, shady, and nonprofessional individuals. What better way to build doubts and break a community then by attacking it at its head?

So yes harm was indeed done to Feral Heart. This issue is also being discussed so heavily about Feral Heart and not Cereal Soup & MoonRise because it was a direct affront to our community as it occurred in our own game (just look at the Tumblr title "deathtofh"). It's not that we are trying to belittle or turn our back at a potential danger to those other communities but rather we are trying to address what happened in our community and what that means for us. We are responsible for Feral Heart and only have authority here.

We do wish the best for your communities as well and wouldn't wish anything terrible against another community that stands for good and fun. For now though everything is still in the works. Lots of speculation still.




Don't go assuming things here, guys. We don't know if they have something to do this or not, for all we know they could have be targets just like CS and Moonrise as well.

Indeed. Keep in mind that they were running around on staff accounts pretending to be staff, that is just as easily as they could have used others accounts to mask their true identity as well. Do try to avoid any accusations at this time as this issue is still under intense investigation.

If you believe you have some evidence that can help the staff please send it via private message to one of the staff. Leave the dirty work of rooting out the bad apples to us ^^

Is adding more security really all that hard for a game?
I'm pretty sure he could at least spend some time making sure problems like this won't happen again. I've known several people who have proven their abilities that they are able to manipulate the code rather well and honestly it makes me feel rather uneasy and glad those people are long gone from the game. But it's not like Feral heart is something along the lines of a Paid game where you have to worry about credit cards being stolen and stuff. I know he has no interest in further updating the game I just find it a bit sad that so much stress has to be put on the mods that care so much about the game and more things like this will happen in the future.

Regardless if Feral Heart was a paid for game or not we take every measure available to be sure that our community and its users are safe. Safety is a priority of ours. The problem is though that there is only so much we can do with the game's coding to further its security. We lack the source code and regardless of who tries to say otherwise, there is only so much that we can do without it. If we had the Feral Heart source code we would work on increasing the game's security, in fact that would be a huge priority over any superficial content updates. Sadly when KovuLKD made Feral Heart there were still bugs and things that needed fixing that he did not attend to. This recent "hacking" incident is an example of one of those issues that was something LKD would have needed to work out.

As you all can see the site is fine and extremely secure because we have full access to the server and site codings. Same would have been the case with the game if we had all the necessary materials. For now we are making the best of what we have and thinking as creativily as we can within our limitations. Again though rest assured that we are doing everything we can to secure the game and get it back to you guys.

He sort of just left the community without notice. He tends to "disappear" from most of his media for a while and only stays in touch with his really close friends. The door of the Feral Heart community has never been shut out to him regardless of weird rumors some silly folks will make up out there. He chose not to return and has since gone on to pursue other side projects like Feral Tales on Facebook etc. Chances are he has no desire to return back to Feral Heart or its community. It's unfortunate really but it is his own choice to do so. He has no obligation to return. It's rare that LKD really sticks to any of his projects for too long.

Guess I can see your point there. Still though, it is disappointing that a lot of the posts I've seen on here, Tumblr, Youtube, etc are mostly blame being directed at MR and CS rather than support, while the animal mmo community media is being flooded with people only freaking out about FH.

MR and CS are mostly getting blame here or just being ignored. That is pretty disappointing tbh. Especially considering the confirmed culprits are a group of people who have dedicated months to harrassing me and Moonrise in general.(Of course, not everyone knows that bit but I have stated my suspicions in many places.)

The group of hackers where people that loved KovuKLD but once the guy was gone, the group was angry at the staff and hacked the accounts. Much like Hooli's response, its just they are idiots and started trouble.

And also, I'd love to report a video that got a good look at the event.

Now that we've cleared that up, why did we get on staff accounts and mess around? Cause we really don't like the staff of FH. Yes, we are salty salty children who have nothing better to do and we'll rot in hell etc etc we get it.

Pretty much sums it up.

As of right now, I myself have been doing some investigating (since I own a website and game myself) and might have found some information. Don't worry, I already PMed the staff with as much as possible.
You guys don't have to worry, the staffers are ensuring your safety and everyone whom is eventually going to join the game. Let's just be patient and support one another like we know how, hmmm? :) There is always something fun we can all do~

Cheers,
Whisper

We dont have this. We dont know what we are facing one bit.

Maybe WE don't but the mods seem to be on it. Really we just gotta ignore their annoying blog, ignore them, and just patch this and move on with life on FH when the server comes back up. ETA was by the end of the weekend, but hey we can survive for a few days of no FH. We're constructive people.

Did KovuLKD leave or something? Or go on hiatus or something?

He sort of just left the community without notice. He tends to "disappear" from most of his media for a while and only stays in touch with his really close friends. The door of the Feral Heart community has never been shut out to him regardless of weird rumors some silly folks will make up out there. He chose not to return and has since gone on to pursue other side projects like Feral Tales on Facebook etc. Chances are he has no desire to return back to Feral Heart or its community. It's unfortunate really but it is his own choice to do so. He has no obligation to return. It's rare that LKD really sticks to any of his projects for too long.

That's a shame. With so many different ideas it would be great for him to stick to one; they would probably be phenomenal.

I'd just like to say something regarding the posts that have screenshots of myself..

I did not know this entire event was going to occur. I was hanging out on my Undivided character when someone in the Arai skype chat mentioned the fact that there was a really, really odd looking character named Friggit Froggit (or something along those lines). Curious, I took a couple screenshots of them and sent a couple to another Skype chat which ended up in a discussion that was basically about "Wow, without slider limits maybe we could create more interesting characters such as dachshunds!"

So that led to me asking the user who had the squished character how they did it, and they responded with "YOU WANT IN?" So.. naturally yet pretty cautiously I said sure. They asked me to log off for 5 minutes and then come back, and when I did, I noticed there was a new character on my account.
I was pretty scared because like, how'd they get onto my account and add a character? I thought it was a hack and was about to delete the character when I realized I could use it in case any staff member or something needed proof (I still have it today)
A day or two later I saw the other person, Squash, hanging out and people going "WOW!" so then, y'know, me being the attention deprived puppy, decided to get on Squish and hang out!! because wow!

Yeah anyway, that's my story about how I am completely not related to the hacking event lmao. If anyone would like, I can share screenshots, but there are at least two people who, to my knowledge, went through this same process and are as innocent as I - including the user who had Squash.



EXACTLY. I was Fallen Soldier..

Don't worry, friend. Your accounts are safe. Do keep in mind that the forum is secure and has not run into any issues as far as what the server has recently gone through, so there's no way for anyone to take your personal information. The passwords on the server are encrypted, and no one is able to take them from the website. Hope this clears a few things up. You're all good. <3
Password reminder sends you a token for your account by the linked email address and not a plain text password..

Will leave it at that.
Just because it's sent doesn't mean it's stored that way, however if the password reminder sends the password you should be concerned.

Actually, you're mistaken. I am not "creating more drama" or "making accusations", as you say. The staff do know who it is, but as of this moment cannot share the details until all staff are notified and the situation is completely dealt with. So yes, for now, maybe sit down and wait, but it is under control.

Oh, no, you're fine. I'm just tired of hearing that it was Cereal Soup or Moonrise. I have no issues with you, or anyone. I just want everyone to find something to do to take their mind off of this.

I hope people try to spread the word of FH re-opening too, almost like attracting old members back. I hope the mods do some kind of advertising for the game or something, spreading the word that it is back so we can try to re-gain members who have not been able to keep up with this hacking scenario(?)

That's alright, but the culprit has been caught, so I guess that can shed some light on the situation. C:

Cereal Soup wasn't involved in this, as well as Moonrise. And if you're asking about a statement for the hacker being caught, I don't have one for you, but I have been helping out and in close contact with the Moderators/Admins. If you don't believe what I'm saying is true, you don't have too, but I'm just telling you what I know of this issue.

They can't give it, that's just it. Between the unpredictability of these hackers and their motives, and the fact Raz is trying to up security WHILE being an adult with his own life and obligations, nothing can be said for sure; nothing is set in stone.

Well, on the DA page, they did say that the game would hopefully be back up by the end of the weekend. We can't be sure of anything though.

On a more drastic note, I've continued to stalk the hackers' Tumblrs, and people are asking them a lot of questions that should be directed to the FH staff.... but they're answering them anyway with negativity and hate.
The bad part is, people are taking them seriously. Some old members are even supporting them.

It's so weird to look on the top of the thread and see all these people looking over the different comments. I'm actually just playing Spore and Roblox while I wait for FH's servers to come back online. I just have the tab open and I refresh it every so often.  :D ;D

Anyway, I really hope the servers open soon! Darn hackers ruin all of the fun ;-;

The hacks themselves, from my knowledge, have just been compromising staff member's accounts and broken sliders for "oddly shaped" characters. There have, supposedly, been more aggressive hacking threats from the band of hackers. It seems they are angry at the staff team.

There's nothing wrong with posting twice in a thread. :3
And there have been many of those slider-broken characters. Very few seemed malicious though. From talking to a friend, who joined them purely for informative purposes, the hackers told everyone that it was just a silly mod that they made, in which everyone could see it. Of course, it did look funny what they were doing to characters (I nearly rolled off my chair laughing at the first troll I saw), so I can imagine it wasn't too hard to trick some people.

I can say the same thing, and Im sure the hackers wanted to distract the members while they get into the moderator's account and mess around with them.

I keep seeing this same idea and question being brought up throughout the thread and even asked multiple times on the Tumblr the 'hackers' apparently have. I just want to post this to clarify for people that still are confused and can stop asking multiple times.

The hacking is technically over as far as I know. FeralHeart is not being hacked right now. The servers are down because the staff took them down to fix and look into whatever security issues were brought to light from these 'hackers' to prevent it from happening again. So the hacker isn't causing the server to be down by messing things up; but it's down so the staff can look into things.

Also I don't really think the hackers did anything to mess up anything that needs repaired? (Aside from finding cracks in security and what not.) Though I wasn't there and I don't have any inside details or anything. But from what I can tell is all they did was similar things that 'hackers' do on IT servers, like messing with scalers beyond the normals.

Even though I'm sure the majority of people already know this and this post will get lost in a sea of replies on this thread. I just want to state it for those lurking on the thread with the same questions and what not.

Since I see the same questions lingering around and a few seem to still be confused:

Early Friday morning (EST time that is) there was an incident of some hacking in the game. A particular user(s) found a way to get on staff accounts and cause havoc over the chats while abusing the staff powers. The users used the red staff chat to shout nonsense, accuse other communities of the hacking, make threats, and request other strange requests things of the users. There was also abnormal manipulation of the character size sliders going on so much so that there were squished and misshapen characters running about.

Keep in mind that there was no breach of personal data or passwords though (as that is protected else where) but rather a breach in the general security of the game's coding. The "hacker(s)" simply took advantage of this security flaw that was left in KovuLKD's coding of the game. Had we had the source code we would have patched that flaw up already, however we now have yet to work around this limitation to make up for what we lack.

The reason the game is offline is because the staff took it offline while we assess things and decide upon the proper approach to securing the game. Our server host Razmirz takes this task seriously and wants to devote all the time he can to making sure everything is worked out right for everyone. Raz works long shifts though and as you can imagine it's quite time consuming to do this sort of thing at the spur of the moment. I assure you all though that Raz is working to get things up and running safely for everyone again in his limited spare time. We can't emphasize enough how much we appreciate all of your continued patience and support at this time.

It's difficult for us to say exactly when the game server might be back up since it's all dependent on when we find the right solution , integrate it, and test it. We do hope to have the game server back up soon though so just hang in there guys.

 So  will it be up tomorrow, I'm guessing it wont be up today?

  Like the others + mods have said before, there isn't a certain time the server will be up. It's just a matter of patience.

EDIT: Sorry, Hooli got to ya before me, haha. But yeah, the best bet is in a couple of days.

seriously
i know people have said the same thing im about to say but
why
feralheart isnt widely known
feralheart doesnt use money
im not implying that the fakers on tumblr might be the real culprits obviously
but if they are
what are you doing with your life right now
your bringing your personal problems into some game
nobody knows/cares about your personal problems with the staff
hacking fh and causing problems for it doesnt help anything
youre just making a bunch of clueless people all sad bc their game that helped them through so much has stopped working
like is it really that funny
is it really worth it
if you respect kov then you wouldnt hack a game he worked so hard on lol

I wonder why people on Tumblr [If they are] would advert their problems and issues onto a game. It is a children's game, although teens/young adults like myself play it just as much. It's not right to do something that I would say "Petty" by hacking FH. That's disrespect to Kov and the rest of the Fh Staff.

In general, if there's a problem, just solve it correctly. And if you have a problem about something that possibly involves someone, please be the bigger person and either ignore or properly confront that person about it. Instead of ruining things for others in the process.

The 'hackers' just used a security flaw that seems to have carried over from IT since the same problem happened. They have a dislike for the staff for their own reasons.

It's not that they didn't handle the problem, they chose to attack the game and cause 'fear'. It's what hackers do, they ruin things for others to enjoy themselves. Trust me, i've seen more than my fair share of hackers.

Seriously really this isn't cool. I really agree. But why would somebody be so childish to do such a thing to not a wide known game. Just sayin' :I

 While I wait, I've been catching up on the forums for the past 4 hours. Hope to see the server go up soon. I'm really starting to miss it, aha.
I miss it already. ;-; I hope it comes back up.

It will! We just have to be patient. c: It'll most likely be up in the next few upcoming days to come.

Check out PrettyReckless's new topic for some good ideas if you are bored or frustrated with waiting! :D

 I was curious onto what was wrong with FH, but now I see what the issue is  :) My friends and I have quickly found a solution to a RPless weekend. Hopefully the game is up soon! :3

I don't have the IPs because the FH staff won't respond to me and give me the necessary information. There's nothing I can do until the FH staff get back to me. I've done all I can so far.
I believe several staffers have responded to you this evening, from what I am told. You are asking for very personal information from us, when we're still trying to recover and re-work around quite a little shake-up; It only happened less than 24 hours ago. We can't make promises that we'll have the answer to everybody's questions in the greatest detail at the end of the day, but if we are able to help give a heads-up to any other gaming communities, we must first get our own matters in line before we can do this.
Bear with us for a little while. It'll be alright.

Also, AbyssalRadiance had a great post up there about the hackers in general. They be trollz. Sit tight, Raz works his magic, and we'll be fine. No need to fret over them or give them your attention from the general community. They don't deserve such, no? :p

This is news to me. I haven't gotten a single response PM from any staff members yet.

Floof is right, the hackers did this to get all of your attention. Your only doing what they want exactly if you make a big deal about this stuff, dont worry about it Raz will take care of it all. The server will be back up in no time at all, stay true to Feral heart if you love the game youll be patient. Be safe guys, and happy late thanksgiving!!

I think you guys need to hear this, so LISTEN UP! You guys remember the screenshots of the hackers, right? Well I saw one of them today. But get this. He said that he wasn't the one doing the hacking. I remember him saying that he's afraid the  mods probably won't believe it, so they'll ban him. He also said something else, but I can't remember.

I know exactly who you are talking about. The character was ERROR 404 right?

Yeah, she was telling me the same thing on Facebook. Apparently one of the hackers managed to get her password even though I asked her if she shared her password with anybody, and she didn't. They have managed to modify her character's size to make it as thin as possible so people thought she was a hacker.

I told her not to tell the MODs in case she'd get banned (and she did... for 3 years.)

It's a massive misunderstanding and really unfortunate for her. I hope the MODs can fix this.

Um, yeah, this is a friend's account right now but I own the account ____

I just talked to the mods or at least people who were close to the mods and they told me they would pre-warn the admins about it but uh...I still got banned for almost 3 years. I'm devastated. I thought the staff would be understand but I guess I can't ask that much of them.

Please.
Keep in mind we are still working on this, and things might be confusing - we understand this.

If there are any issues with bans then PM someone on the staff and do not discuss it on here.
We ask you to still have patience with us and we will update with news of the situation as soon as we can.

That's got to suck for you. I'm sorry for what happened. Anything else you know that you didn't me yet? I need as much information as possible. I honestly have no idea what I'm going to do about all of this, but still. I need to know.

Shallow just mentioned that anything about bans shouldn't be discussed on this thread. If you're wanting to talk about Ragna's issue then you guys should take it to PM's instead of discussing it publicly.

Alright. Thanks for letting me know. Sorry about that. Unfortunately, I'll have to do that at a later time since I'm at school. :) Once again, I apologize.

We really appreciate you guys helping us out with information and details. If you have something important that you would like to provide as evidence, please Private Message it to a Staff member. Pieces of information can easily get lost in large threads such as this one, and it would be much more convenient and accessible through a PM.

I suggest making a new help thread in the help board (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&board=24.0).
Describe what exactly your issue looks like.
