Hack attack on pservers !!!

I wanted to share this to kinda let people get prepared to what can go wrong.

This is happening to alot of the servers on the top100 list atm, if not alot its some that have a hard time and offcourse the one i play on is totally screewed. After what i read on wowkse forums about the issue it seems like plain blackmailing (read youself) What is actually happening. - WoWKse "The best guild on this server . So this is most likely people from a other pserver that tryes to get more people, what strikes my mind is that they want the "database ?".
Why do they want that and what was the other option they had?, is this some uber haxxor or just a kiddy that found a loophole.
Also read something about the issue as someones logging in 1million times at the same time, well this was changed to max allow 5 times in a shorter time.
Well anyway the problem remains and wowkse are still dead and has been the last 3 days.

ok and ? First to get the DB the hacker need to hack the administrator of the server. Doesn't have any thing with the 1 million times logging and things like that.

ok as a memeber of wowkse im pretty "hacked off" with these hackers, spoiling the enjoyment of others because they want the hard work and originality of the guys that created this server.

1. They want the DB because of all the changes that have been made by the admins, as anyone who has played it will tell you this is quite a way from the original game, and done excellently. And they are too lazy and lack any imagination to create anything that would ever come close to a server like this by themselves.

2. They are jeleaous of its standing currently in the top 10, but was usually always in the top 3 before the patch issuses.

3. The 2 options were
a) hand over all the stuff they demanded
b) the server will be IP spammed causing it to crash (hacked) and there in no one will be able to play and log in to the game.

And to be fair the guys that run WoWkse have been doing a great job so far of keeping the servers up :smile:. We get a few DC's in a night but the fact remains that this server offers somthing different to all the others and the users are staying loyal, so i think the hackers picked on the wrong bunch of guys, because this lot wont be bullied.
