Hello Penguins!! Here Sn2ckerspup! And today as many will know the CP Rewritten has been hacked which has put the server off line until further notice.
The truth is that it has already been discovered who has been the hacker who has not wanted to say any information regarding the events occurred, and that the team CPRewritten discovered that there is a website similar to this, and used to steal accounts of the game. However, they have already solved the problem of vulnerability and recommend that they change the passwords of both the game and all social networks that have the same. Also, that when they re-launch the game they will add a password change form. Another thing was that the hackers could initiate section in the accounts of the pets and the moderators without passwords
But, the most curious thing about this is that someone in the community (Name: Dev) managed to interview the alleged hacker who never did it with bad intentions but apparently it was to give a lesson to the creator of the game "Codey" About taking serious safety of your game.
Put, all this, and that interview data are not 100% safe because after all is a hacker and can lie without problem. What do you think happened? What story do you think is true? I would like you to share your opinion!
Hopefully, CPRewritten will be back soon, so we can continue to enjoy the game. In the meantime we will have to wait a few days for the case to be resolved.
Update (April 14th)
Hello everyone!
Today has been released more information regarding the hack, where the most outstanding said the CPR team was the following:
"The attacker used a very clever trick and created a fake website that looks like Club Penguin Rewritten and linked it to several people. These people clicked on these links and entered their credentials on this unsafe website, allowing the attacker to access their accounts "
Exactly !, confirmed the false website that looks like CPRewritten, but the good news is that there was no database theft, so no account was compromised. However the attacker could access any penguin without passwords and suspend it for evil.
Besides that, the website will come back tomorrow! With a "Forget Password" form. How nice that CPR will return so fast! What do you think about this? Do you think CPR should improve its security system to the maximum?
Comment,Share and Enjoy!
