We don't know, and unless they decide the publish the whole database will never now. But they definitely had the opportunity, and in terms of cybercrime just as good. Since cybercrime is so unique it is hard to compare it with something our of real life, but you can compare it with a bank of which the front doors are open and the safe door is closed but unlocked and all the employees are all blindfolded and they don't know how much money is inside the safe. Random people could walk in the bank and walk past the clerks and check the safe door and see it's unlocked, then open it and take money, but since we don't know how much money is in it we will never know if and how much they took.

The bank is Omerta, free for players unless the employees decide to close it.
The employees is the Omerta crew, in control but probably can't see if someone tries to attempt something, since that's just how cybercrime works in some situations.
The safe is the database.
The door of the safe is the connection between the pages you see in front of you and the database.
The money inside the safe is the data which includes all our passwords and emails and maybe even telephone numbers.

Now in this hypothetical situation add the given fact that we know that someone has tried to open the safe door and went inside.

ye I was thinking about writing an update about their latest news post. Pizza first tho.

Hmm you're right, it's 515. Dunno why Sbanks said 100.

We don't know, they were anonymous and, logically, wish to stay that way.

Exactly. I would laugh my ass off if it wasn't so sad.

Srsly admins what the fuck do you want? -_-'

I fucking emailed you 6 hours ago, why don't you just read your inbox instead of akilling us and telling us to mail you?

Kind of hard to do now -_-'

Please tell Brando to respond on my emails I have send him 4 hours ago.

Haha guess Nakamura and Amenta got that luck as well.

You should have been more active!

Yea. Check your email please xd

I also sent an email to brando@bara, hope that's the correct one. I wish he had just read my comment here -_-'

Actually I did remove some comments here with excessive flaming or name calling. Same rules apply here as in other topics.

Hugobost, the problem which could arise now, and could have arisen in those other hacks as well, is that 3rd parties, aka parties we did not agree with in any way to share with, now could have our personal data such as emails and hashed passwords (but hashed in MD5 which is easily crackable and has been so since 2005, seriously why are you still using this shit?).

That's why would bitch as hell as well when Facebook gets hacked and they are not open about it.

Oh, and I don't have Facebook, this being one of the reasons.

Dear Brando,

We always like to take interviews or in any other way put anything up on our site other than the plain war articles. However, being that most of us do not like this version at all and since most of us are busy with real life things, such as school or work, or working on other projects, we, at this moment, do not have the time for an interview, even though we would really like to hear the admin's side of the story. For example, out of our current 8-11 crew members, only 2 are online at least once a day, and only 5 once a week. This is our fault, we know, but blaming us for it is not going to change everything.

Therefore, I kindly suggest to have patience until both parties (Omerta crew and OBN crew) have time or, when you want to have your reply out in the open as soon as possible (which I would understand you want in this certain situation), use your extensive freedom of speech on our site and write an excessive comment including explanations on how these three, for us, coherent, events (downtime, database setup leak and profiles infected with code) could have taken place or a description on what really happened.

Furthermore, I would like to repeat a previous notice of mine that we normally would remove posts including excessive name calling and insults on our journalistic integrity. Please see this as your second warning. Thank you in advance.

The problem with that suggestion is that if you want to change your account later on you aren't able to.

Bethesda fixed that in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim after the fans weren't happy about picking abilities in TES IV: Oblivion.

Main problem with that is that it will give an advantage for scripters over lackeys, something they want to prevent to not scare away ex-scripters back to the scripts.
Maybe we should be able to train bg's on two different types of att; damage when you are shooting, and damage you do in backfire. This way we need to find a new balance again and you can base the bg's even more than now on your playing style.

True Dutch nationalist put up the Prinsenvlag, not the Dutch flag !1

We're considering that for a few hours now, so we're "watching the situation carefully".
