I'm gonna be honest, this entire topic feels like when a big corporation **** up royally and then they have to crank out a copy pasted apology just to calm people down before they lose too much money.
This entire thing feels insincere. It took you literal days just to talk about this, Xeno. How can you sit silently while a fire is burning everywhere around you? xD

For once in my life, I agree with Luka. This whole mess is part of a Dumpster Fire known as Everybody Edits.

i think so

Can we please not attack Xenonetix?

Even if he's the one at the wrong it doesn't mean we should attack him personally...

when you **** up you deserve to be attacked though

Guest. · 2019-03-28 22:50:03

i dont think the back and forth will solve much but i think it would be beneficial to look back on all of this

look at how many times xenonetix has recently **** up in some way

reflect on that and come to ur own conclusion i guess

To be 100% honest I don't see how the breach itself was Xenonetix' fault.
Surely the part where he had to update people about what was happening could be done way better, but the attack itself? not so much.

It's a vulnerability which has been in the game literally from the beginning. They're not 100% familiar with Player.IO and thus don't know all security loopholes. Clearly Player.IO itself doesn't know it either, otherwise they would provide some sort of documentation on "how to properly protect your game".
Furthermore, this by no means is a management problem, but more so an implementation one (from both sides). And then still. Why would the current staff be to blame? Why not the previous staff? The exploit existed back then too.
Or hell, might just go all the way back and blame Chris Benjaminsen himself, because he didn't make the game 100% secure from the get go. <sacrasm>Shame on him</sarcasm>

Anyway. Community likes drama. Drama has been provided. I'm gonna go back to lurking in the bots section.

That's because that isn't his fault, as that genuinely was out of his hands. But do you know what wasn't out of his hands? Community interaction.
As stated before, it took this guy days to address this issue publicly.
And that's always been a long-standing issue with Xenonetix. Every time there's a problem (and this is EE we're talking about) he clams up and refuses to talk about it until it seemingly reaches a point where he has to talk about it.
And then when he does open his mouth, all that comes out is a half-baked corporate apology.

Just because the police doesn't know who the murderer is, doesn't mean they can wait days to tell the neighborhood that they're in danger and to give them suggestions on what to do to stay safe.

LukeM · 2019-03-29 12:49:12

From my experience it's not that he doesn't want to address the problems, he just wants to have all the information ready before he does. The post was made within 24 hours of PlayerIO getting back to us on the rest of the issues, so it was pretty soon after we got all the information we needed.

If you do want the information as we get it then I generally reply to most questions on the forums about the issues (as I've been doing for the past week), and a couple other staff members and I are active on both the official and unofficial discord servers, and try to reply to most of the questions there too. Usually we do the informal conversations, and Xenonetix does the formal statement at the end.

Now this - is actually an understandable reason, but it still would be better to have at least heard of him "I cannot be sure yet", "I don't know much enough yet", instead of a complete silence.

In case you think I don't agree with your standpoint, see:

In case you posted you reply to assure people are remembered about that fact, then disregard this post c:

Very much agree to this. Just make an official post ASAP. Even if all you really say is you're currently just gathering info before providing further information.

If you can currently log in fine, and you're using a secure password, you don't need to do anything.

If you can no longer log in (because your password is 'incorrect'), that means that we temporarily disabled your account because you shared your password with someone through the in-game mail system, which was recently breached. To recover your account, use the 'change or recover password' feature in the login screen to set a new password.

If we all change our password to password123, the hacker won't be able to get in anymore, since they don't have that one yet.

Albeit not directly to you and instead more baiting the community into the drama, he does ask for evidence of his guilt in this thread: https://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewt … p?id=45573
