Quote:

For several hours early Thursday morning, the Deus Ex Web site, user forum, and Eidos.com were unreachable. For a brief period late Wednesday evening, the sites displayed a defacement banner that read “Owned by Chippy1337″ (click screen shot at right for a larger version), along with several names and hacker handles of those supposedly responsible for the break-in.

KrebsOnSecurity.com obtained an archived copy of the attackers’ online chatter as they were covering their tracks from compromising the sites. A hacker using the alias “ev0″ discusses having defaced the sites and downloading some 9,000 resumes from Eidos. ev0 and other hackers discuss leaking “src,” which may refer to source code for Deus Ex or other Eidos games. In a separate conversation, the hackers also say they have stolen information on at least 80,000 Deus Ex users and that they plan to release the data on file-sharing networks.

Neither Eidos nor its parent company Square Enix Co. could be immediately reached for comment. (This may not be the first time Eidos was breached: In a story I wrote earlier this year, I detailed how hackers on an underground criminal forum claimed to be selling access to Eidos’ customer database).

you would think they would learn after that Sony attack tsk tsk

Huff · (05-13-2011, 04:46 AM)

What purpose does this serve? I'm just baffled.

wienke · (05-13-2011, 04:46 AM)

Really getting tired of this...

Batman is about to fuck your shit up Anonymous.

Wario64 · (05-13-2011, 04:47 AM)

Good! That will teach them to make better games from now on. Right?

arnoldocastillo2003 · (05-13-2011, 04:48 AM)

Fuck sake, are you serious, man fuck it, put them to jail, please.

Tomat · (05-13-2011, 04:48 AM)

Anyone else think the whole "Anonymous did it" thing is retarded?

ggnoobIGN · (05-13-2011, 04:48 AM)

I always hate how articles refer to Anonymous as some sort of cohesive group. This article mention he's a "splinter" from then, but that's not true. Whoever the guy is, he's exactly what Anonymous is.

Yeah, that, basically.

These hackers just need to kill themselves.

The Human Revolution has begun!

TheSeks · 04:52 AM

Uh-oh. Square-Enix better be reforecasting their projections for more losses as they give S-E consumers a "welcome back" game after a five year development time on Final Fantasy XV.

It's getting annoying, yes.

Typographenia · (05-13-2011, 04:49 AM)

This is getting really tiresome. What is wrong with people?

Are they really that bored or is there an actual reason behind doing something like this?

The welcome back game will be Final Fantasy XIV.

Actual teenagers that don´t have lives.

Plasmid · (05-13-2011, 04:51 AM)

If they release source for any Eidos games they're going to get straight up fucked, it'll be like the half life 2 source all over again.

This is getting stupid though, there is no reason to do this other than to be complete assholes.

You would think something like this would have happened after Invisible War, amirite?

Maybe their original plan was to hack PSN again once it came back up...

...but they got bored waiting. ^O^

sixclaws · (05-13-2011, 04:52 AM)

This is really getting annoying. I hope that this doesn't result in any major damage to the company.

Dem sexually frustrated hackers got nothing better to do.
Get out of your basements and experience sunlight, you losers.

And S-E consumers will get it within 6-12 weeks in various regions.

Hey guys, this is Sony's fault, right?

arnoldocastillo2003 · (05-13-2011, 04:54 AM)

Ok what happens if the hackers obtained Deus Ex Human Revolution? that would be fuck up for SE - Eidos.

Xyrmellon · (05-13-2011, 04:55 AM)

Perhaps I'm ignorant, but how much personal info could they have got from Deus Ex users???

Edgeward · (05-13-2011, 04:55 AM)

Just, why?

yup just buy the game and get free months

User33 · (05-13-2011, 04:55 AM)

BTW, this "chippy1337" guy doesn't seem too smart. Googling that username brings up a bunch of incriminating stuff. A hacker that can't cover his tracks? Dead man walking.

Crakatak187 · (05-13-2011, 04:55 AM)

These hackers got a taste of power and is now power hungry.

They got resumes, so I assume they got names, addresses, and contact info.

The lulz, I guess.

Eventually someone is going to try this on a company with competent security and have it blow up in their face. Hackers don't do so well in the pen, which means that other people will get to enjoy the schadenfreude when they get caught.

Dreamgazer · (05-13-2011, 04:59 AM)

hmm...this is oddly coincidental
the hacked page layout is the same as the first anonop hack.
An "evo" was also evolved, and the leader of the anonops hack was also called "ryan"

....

hmmmmmmmmmm

Jaxter09 · (05-13-2011, 04:59 AM)

Good for them, I guess

railGUN · (05-13-2011, 04:59 AM)

Almost meta.

Jarmel · (05-13-2011, 05:01 AM)

Do they actually have the Deus Ex source code? That would do some SERIOUS damage to Eidos if it got released.

mj1108 · (05-13-2011, 05:02 AM)

Eidos and Sony should co-develop a game on hacking.

filipe · (05-13-2011, 05:02 AM)

Uh... Learn what? Hacking occurs. Why would Eidos learn from Sony attack? I guess Sony should have learned from EVERY other single attack that's occurred until this point? As well as all the other attacks that have occurred against other companies?

Tsk tsk.

antonz · (05-13-2011, 05:04 AM)

So a group that went after Anonymous is somehow turned into anonymous did it?

Thats the biggest flaw in AnonOps. Anyone can claim they are Anonymous and no way to counter it.

ShikaTheReaper · (05-13-2011, 05:04 AM)

Wow this is getting pretty sad -_-

Well the op mentioned something about selling the customer database. Trying to remember Eidos, has my e-mail or something. Nope, don't recall ever joining an Eidos forum.
