CCP investigation concluded: it was a premeditated attack |
Ó
The creators of EVE Online CCP has recently been under attack on multiple levels with various allegations. This was compounded by what they called a "carefully constructed and well-timed social engineering effort by one of the largest player groups in our community" with the eventual goal of discrediting both the game and CCP.
The CCP folks have posted responses on various allegations leveled against them such as CCP Sharkbait joining a player corporation to spy on their alliance, the Aurora event team rigging an event arc, and the unfair dismissal of an ISD member from the volunteer program. However, what would interest most people is the conclusion they've drawn regarding the perpetrators of the allegations and attacks. Here's a short overview of it:
An unnamed corporation posted over 4000 times on EVE's message boards concerning these allegations. In addition, 1046 posts were made on Digg.com; 235 comments were added on Slashdot; and made multiple EVE-related edits on Wikipedia.
Each of these sites was hit within a few hours of each other, at the start of the three-day Memorial Day weekend in the US and a three-day weekend in Iceland.
The guys at CCP pointed out that it was done over a three day weekend, thus lessening their ability to react to the problem. They believe this was pre-meditated. Another thing they pointed out was the fact that the entire EVE community was being readied as a weapon to use against CCP through this propaganda.
So far, CCP hasn't given word on which group has performed these attacks, and we doubt that they'll be disclosing that information. Be sure to click on our read link for full details on this.
