article
Today i recieved a PM from mister Anonymousss, claiming he was the one removing the money ingame. The complete irc log with the "hacker" is posted below.

I also added the complete log from the conversation i had with Brando, its added below.

Brando: And of course we are very sorry to the players who lost out. It is a shame that people use exploits, and difficult to exclude these when you have new developers on the team. We will close them later today and consider a rollback as well.


Conclusion of the chat i had with him: He can remove the cash from every player in the game who is kept in pocket. Bank money can't be touched. Money, Bullets, HP's and other stuff can't be added!

BANK YOUR MONEY!!

As curious as i was, i decided to test it..we first tested this at player Yoghami

01:18 Yoghami • Money
01:18 Yoghami • Cash $ 1,090,480
01:18 Yoghami • In bank account $ 600,000

we sent him 1,080,000 extra and told the "hacker" to remove his cash.

--

01:19 sbanks • Anonymousss --> Yoghami
01:19 Anonymousss • ok
01:19 sbanks • tell me when its done xd
01:20 Anonymousss • done
01:20 Anonymousss • took 2 million or something

--

01:20 Yoghami • Cash $ 170,480
01:20 Yoghami • In bank account $ 600,000


After this i decided to crank it up a bit, sorry for the people who got hit, i picked randomly names.

- Dreamland
- Watchurbackk
- Hakkiyeten
- Brando
- Marcel
- Bramblerose

All users were offline, so they could not have banked the cash!

During this, our reporterbot gave this information about the economy:

(02:22:05) <%NoobSurv> [Economy] Money total: -$8,870,695 to $48,701,233,020

Bramblerose before:



Bramblerose after:







Update:
After revealing this hack on our site, admins have closed down #reina, in which the hacker was talking with people, and Sbanks has been g-lined.

Update:
#reina has been opened again by the admins, but the hacker has been banned there. He is now visiting #camorra, #krays and #omerta.

Update:
Brando joined #help (with the nick Brandupe, but the host matched) and has given there a statement.
[Brandupe] ok
[Brandupe] So there is clearly some clever dick operating
[Brandupe] With a simple exploit.
[Brandupe] Once we find it we will close it
[Brandupe] We cannot refund anyone's money
[Brandupe] that is shit
[Brandupe] Sorry for that but we cannot track that so not prove that so no refunds
[Brandupe] But
[Brandupe] We will consider our options tomorrow morning when most of crew are back online
[Brandupe] right now it is just me and a couple more crew members
[Brandupe] and devs are sleeping
[Brandupe] I suggest that anyone who has questions about this just leaves

Update:
With a sudden change of heart, Anonymousss has decided to report the exploit he used to Brando.

Update:
Added complete conversation log from Brando.

Update:
Omerta declares in a newspost that the backdoor has been fixed and tomorrow (6-7-11) Bramblerose will give more information!

01:44 sbanks • got removed
01:44 sbanks • from leader
01:44 sbanks • _o_
01:45 Anonymousss • haah the poor guy
01:45 sbanks • :D:D:
01:46 sbanks • oki Anonymousss
01:46 sbanks • im gonna write the article




04:29 sbanks` • this thing have been going on for a few days, were there really problems with the objects? or it was a wild guess and you closed it hoping it was a bug there?
04:30 Brandupe • Well until we close the exploit I cannot say where it was
04:30 Brandupe • but it was in at least 2 locations
04:30 Brandupe • neither of which was spots
04:30 Brandupe • Both will be closed before 10 am in the morning OT
04:30 Brandupe • (as soon as a dev appears from its lair)
04:31 sbanks` • so there was a bug @ objects? as it was closed, and something got "fixed" and reopend again
04:31 Brandupe • No
04:32 Brandupe • it wasn't in an object either
04:32 Brandupe • last night's attack was elsewhere
04:32 Brandupe • Problem is here that rumour spreads like wildfire on IRC
04:32 Brandupe • of course everyone's backfire was not set to zero on DM
04:32 Brandupe • but
04:32 Brandupe • many believed it was
04:33 sbanks` • ye, have seen a few of those fake rumours every version kinda
04:34 sbanks` • so will the game be closed down tomorrow morning?
04:34 sbanks` • and is a rollback an option?
04:37 Brandupe • Of course that is an option
04:38 Brandupe • I would not like to pre-empt my colleagues and the players though
04:38 Brandupe • Rbs are radical and many may not wish to.
04:38 Brandupe • We'll likely discuss it in about 4 hours.
04:38 sbanks` • ofcourse, but i think it would be the most fair, billions of money got lost on .com
04:39 sbanks` • ofcourse there will be people crying they lost bullets and rp, some people might be alive again, but i think the majority got hit due this exploit
04:40 sbanks` • always two sides of the medal
04:40 Brandupe • Yeah.
04:41 sbanks` • You cant track the money right? so refunds are impossible?
04:42 Brandupe • That's correct.
04:42 Brandupe • Zer once said that if we were to track all accounts every action like that
04:42 Brandupe • we would need a DB about the size of Earth's moon with a CPU the size of Chicago
04:43 Brandupe • Even with lackeys we cannot afford that
04:43 Brandupe • not even Kredu and Swifty could afford that.
04:43 sbanks` • :D
04:44 sbanks` • oki, 2 more things
04:44 sbanks` • did this "anonymouss" guy, already told how he used the exploit? i heard he was willing to tell it
04:46 Brandupe • Yes he told us all about it and apologised too.
04:46 Brandupe • He said he did not really think of the ramifications of his actions
04:46 Brandupe • He seemed fairly overwhelemed really
04:46 Brandupe • But he pointed us to both his known exploits
04:46 Brandupe • and I can confirm that both are due to weak coding on Omerta's part
04:47 Brandupe • Actually both done by people who no longer work with us
04:47 sbanks` • ah ok
04:47 Brandupe • one triallist who was sent home for good yesterday because he a. thought he was God almighty and b. Bugged the shit out of everyone in the office
04:48 sbanks` • haha, ye those you shouldn't keep
04:48 Brandupe • and Weirdgoku who got sacked last week. He was not very good at his job and had some other issues so we called time on him.
04:48 Brandupe • This means that we have one more vacant situation for a trainee dev.
04:48 Brandupe • No we are sick of high-maintenance low-input people.
04:49 Brandupe • No more of that.
05:04 Brandupe • And of course we are very sorry to the players who lost out. It is a shame that people use exploits, and difficult to exclude these when you have new developers on the team.
05:04 Brandupe • We will close them later today and consider a rollback as well.
05:04 sbanks` • alright, i make sure i add that

Well good they made a newsitem about this.
Sad to see i just pointed 30 min earlier to help crew that people who dont know about OBN or trabot dont know whats happening around, cause latest news object and update object dont give any info.

lets hope they handle this with some caring about the players. but speed of info and discussing this problem aint that promissing. fingers crossed ;)
TraBot has not reported any news around this subject, as far as I know.

Anyway I totally agree with your point. Brando promised they would make a public statement (as in, new news thingy ingame) about what happened and what was going to happen, but still we are clueless.

I dunno why people keep being anoying with family winning the version

To have an winner, the game had to have 1 begin and 1 ending anounced with fixed dates

that dont happen here, admins reset when they forced to do it so!

This game is too slow, to variable to have any winners, besides all that, I forgot to mention, how does an cheater family be an winner?

anyway bullshit!


agreed.
Very True. There really isn't a clear winner to this game, the game is not designed for it. Basically, the closest you get to a "winner" is a family that dominates for a period of time. In these times, it often is some large alliance, which further muddies the waters. But anyways, different families have different styles. Some start out aggressive and dominate early, but eventually get shot down. There's nothing wrong with that. Others prefer to play the wait game, and then start shooting later on. There's nothing wrong with that either. But to say the last alliance alive is the "winner" is iffy, at best. It's just a style of gameplay,
I think a true goal should be to dominate and be feared for as long as possible. It doesn't matter so much when it happens.


+1 so true

Situation:

Most but 8 specific to-each-other-blooded-or-close fams loose most or big parts of their money.
The ruined fams have no war funds,
Can't provide members with bullet money,
And have to close their objects.
The spared fams keep running their objects
(Eventhough while hacking went on, they or most of them knew that they would be spared after one time since they didn't close their objects?)
Every gambler gambles on the open objects.
More profit for the spared fams.
The difference between ruined and spared fams grow.

The winner of the version is decided.
Unless,
Unless there is a rollback.
