Desu 3X source code might have been... leaked!

• For several hours early Thursday morning, the Deus Ex Web site, user forum, and Eidos.com were unreachable. For a brief period late Wednesday evening, the sites displayed a defacement banner that read “Owned by Chippy1337″ (click screen shot at right for a larger version), along with several names and hacker handles of those supposedly responsible for the break-in.
  
  KrebsOnSecurity.com obtained an archived copy of the attackers’ online chatter as they were covering their tracks from compromising the sites. A hacker using the alias “ev0″ discusses having defaced the sites and downloading some 9,000 resumes from Eidos. ev0 and other hackers discuss leaking “src,” which may refer to source code for Deus Ex or other Eidos games. In a separate conversation, the hackers also say they have stolen information on at least 80,000 Deus Ex users and that they plan to release the data on file-sharing networks.

Damn PCs screwing up honest developers! Now anybody could have the needed tolls to mod the game and Eidos will be out of business (DLC wise) once Desu 3X is released.

There's no source.

 

[Mister Arkham]

Wait. They stole the personal information of eighty-thousand users? For...a game that won't be released for four months? I'm assuming that they nabbed forum registration data, but either way this shit's ambiguous.

"Eidos hacked by 'Anonymous'...UPDATE: official statement from Square Enix"

http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?t=117735

Square Enix can confirm a group of hackers gained access to parts of our Eidosmontreal.com website as well as two of our product sites. We immediately took the sites offline to assess how this had happened and what had been accessed, then took further measures to increase the security of these and all of our websites, before allowing the sites to go live again.

Eidosmontreal.com does not hold any credit card information or code data, however there are resumes which are submitted to the website by people interested in jobs at the studio. Regrettably up to 350 of these resumes may have been accessed, and we are in the process of writing to each of the individuals who may have been affected to offer our sincere apologies for this situation. In addition, we have also discovered that up to 25,000 email addresses were obtained as a result of this breach. These email addresses are not linked to any additional personal information. They were site registration email addresses provided to us for users to receive product information updates.

No dissemination or misappropriation of any other personal information has been identified at this point.

What's the problem? Hacking is an integral part of Desu Ex! If they had the upgrades then why not?

Desu 3X source code might have been... leaked!

Finally! Now everyone will be able to learn the secret of a piss bloom

 

[Captain Shrek]

The src they were talking about is nothing less, nothing more than the source code for the

Spoiler

fucking website

.

 

[Mister Arkham]

Hilarious. Hackers can't even be bothered to steal things that are worth anything now.

 

[villain of the story]

If the source had been leaked, that would be a major incline for everyone. Modding the game might have been possible.

Kind of ironic, isn't it?
