Thunderdome hack attack @ 11:33p ET

**asch** · 07-30-2012, 11:35 PM

I just exited out of the server prior to getting any screenshots, however it appears that at around 11:30p-11:35p ET there was a thunderdome hack attack.

Second time tonight... The novelty is wearing off.

Silver lining: M4 SD, ghillie, NVGs, rangefinder, etc. etc. etc.

You keep what you kill :P

Happened around 9:30 as well. Then some weird timeout after Damonte reset the server from the Thunderdome. So I gave up for the evening. Glad I did.

Several individuals have been GUID banned based on reports of this incident.

Thanks to everyone that got me those exact date/time details, unknown player info, etc. It was a great help in identifying the potential culprits, reviewing the script logs, and then banning them (and others).

Thanks for that Apo. Glad the list at the time was short and it was easy to find the perps.

What I've heard/read is that when this is hack is introduced you will be teleported to the airfield and put in a pen with all other players on the server. Your primary rifle and handgun will be removed from your person, possibly your equipped gear (nvg's and bino/rangefinders) as well. I guess you are supposed to re-equip yourself in the 'thunderdome' crates, I didn't stick around to do this, so lost my gear.

Thanks, Apo. Appreciate the efforts. Hate having the evening ruined. Thankfully, the oddity of everyone freezing around me (not running in place like the red chain), tipped me off and I had already started to disconnect before fully loading in at the NW airfield. I was able to keep all my gear.

There were a few of us on when this happened. Once I was teleported I quickly hit escape, abort, and disconnect. The others stuck around and I believe the had their loot / weapons removed.

I was able to log back in on another server and spawned at my last position prior to being teleported. I also had all my gear. So I escaped.
