Among the data stolen by LulzSec from Zenimax Media and Bethesda Softworks, is the information for some 200,000+ Brink users. As warned by the group last night, the hacker group had once again brought out the big guns.
As of this moment, we have yet to see an official statement from Bethesda or Zenimax about this matter. We will not be linking to the file location mentioned in the above statement. Do not post it here either as we will remove the URL.
Greetings Internets,
This is a story all about how we made Bethesda Softworks, ZeniMax Media, and everything they own, our bitch for life.
As you should know, The Lulz Boat stores vast amounts of booty; much of this booty we don't release as it's simply too shiny and/or delicious. As of late, certain inferior sailing boats have discovered flaws in Brink (brinkthegame.com), thinking themselves exciting and new.
Too late. The Lulz Boat controls this ocean, chumps.
Some weeks ago, we smashed into Brink with our heavy artillery Lulz Cannons and decided to switch to ninja mode. From our LFI entry point, we acquired command execution via local file inclusion of enemy fleet Apache vessel. We then found that the HTTPD had SSH auth keys, which let our ship SSH into other servers. See where this is going?
We then switched to root ammunition rounds. And we rooted... and rooted... and rooted...
After mapping their internal network and thoroughly pillaging all of their servers, we grabbed all their source code and database passwords, which we proceeded to shift silently back to our storage deck.
Please find enclosed everything we took, excluding one thing - 200,000+ Brink users. We actually like this company and would like for them to speed up the production of Skyrim, so we'll give them one less thing to worry about. You're welcome!
