An exploit used to knock down the server Many people wonder why we always end up using the word hacker when you are in front of the cracker and the reason is simple: the crackers do not use computers. So were the hackers, crackers and even though formally they were really bad this time, to cause problems in the past few days have seen several times going down the server Heroes of Newerth.
In fact, a group of Croatian and English crackers, already convicted of various criminal activities including sale of racist behavior and hack, has discovered an exploit that allowed to throw down the game servers. Obviously the result was a collective ban, but the group did not give up and after some other raid launched a campaign of DDOS attacks.
S2 said that the countermeasures are working to stop attacks and has taken responsibility for not having been able to better defend the server. This is why players who have suffered hardships were rewarded with play money and other bonuses.
