Hackers have taken down the Rockstar Games community website. The site, which was first experiencing issues on September 8, has not been available for more than a week. Rockstar had previously tweeted that they were aware of the issue and working to resolve it in a minute. However, in a new tweet from September 22 - in response to a fan who asked when the website would be fixed - they tweeted: “We’re still waiting for news from our host provider so we can resume services. ” It has been alleged that when the Rockstar Games Social Club website was taken down by the hackers, there was also a hacking of Rockstar's servers. This has led to accusations against the hackers. A New York-based online security company called DigitalGuard have claimed that they have evidence that the attack on Rockstar started on September 5. On September 6 they claim to have had their first sight of the hacking taking place, but were not able to find any evidence of it until September 9. The evidence was then taken offline due to legal reasons, but they claim to have still obtained data from the server showing how it worked before shutting down for good in September 10. The DigitalGuard documents also state that the stolen data included information about Rockstar's network, which could give details about how they defend against hackers. The hackers are said to have used SQL injection to access the Rockstar files, which was a route that was not supposed to be open. Although it is not cited as definite proof, DigitalGuard believes that this was used because one of the many username and password combinations on the site was 'password'. However, it is now believed that they might have keyloggers on their own computers, which could have allowed them to log in despite having this username and password combination. Despite the severity of this attack on Rockstar and on the games industry as a whole, there has been little coverage of it by the news. This is because it first happened one weekend and then another weekend passed and then there was no evidence and then people might have forgotten about it. The only people who might be aware of this allegation are those who pay attention to security stories. I am one such person, as I do read some stories like this, but I am also not aware of any big hacking story lately. This is why I think many people would just assume that things were fine at rockstar and they can just keep playing their games without worrying about anything else going on behind the scenes. The case of "Digital Guardian Corp. et al. v. Rockstar Games, Incorporated et al." Filed in the District Court of Southern New York, was dismissed on January 12, 2013. Judge R. Gary Klausner states "no adequate remedy exists at law for the breach of an implied contract of confidentiality, and Digital Guardian's request for damages therefore fails as a matter of law". https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/11/secrets-your-video-game-company-doesn%E2%80%99t-want-you-know https://www.wired. cfa1e77820
