Anonymous Hacks Eidos, Deus Ex Websites - UPDATED

[tictactoe]

What precisely did Eidos do to deserve this?
Edit: Not that I'm supporting this in any way, I'm just wondering what motivator was involved if any?

 

[matrix3509]

I have my doubt about whether Anon was actually responsible for this.

This actually sounds something like the script kiddies who now populate 4chan would do. "For the lulz" and all that.

Say it with me now: "Anon has an overarching purpose to everything they do, 4chan script kiddies link people to goatse. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE."

 

[ZeroMachine]

Anonymous didn't do this, Chippy1337 did. You can't be anonymous if you have a name.

I would like to know what this douche-bag's motivation was though.

Yup. How can you be anonymous if your identity is separate from everyone else?

Gah, anonymous or not, they're going too far. I mean, why there? Why Eidos of all places? What in the flying fuck did they do?

Read my original post and you'll find out.

Oh, please, that's no reason to jeopardize the information of innocents just trying to get jobs. It isn't as bad as the PSN fiasco, obviously, but even if they put what you suggested I would still say they're a bunch of lousy assholes who need to find a hobby that doesn't potentially hurt people.

 

[TheIronRuler]

Ehm, any reason for this? Did Eidos do anything to deserve this? were they pissed at the delayal of Deus Ex? What is the reason for this hate?

What precisely did Eidos do to deserve this?

The reason lies in my previous post.
I can quote it here.

I think that hacking the 'Deus Ex' site and writing "the original was jesus christ's second coming. You can't compare to that, and you aren't even developing the PC version yourselves. Shame on you.' Would be much more effective.
Because it's the truth.

They CAN be stolen, it doesn't mean they WERE stolen.
I can CLAIM that I'm a demi-god.

 

[Mister Benoit]

God dammit.

I have my resume on their site and an account. I don't need more spam >.<

 

[matrix3509]

Can somebody tell me why they went after Edios? What the fuck did they do to piss off Anon, at least the dick part that seems to want to hold the world hostage until they get their way.

Anonymous didn't do this, Chippy1337 did. You can't be anonymous if you have a name.

I would like to know what this douche-bag's motivation was though.

What precisely did Eidos do to deserve this?

As I stated above I think it was some 4chan script kiddies responsible for this and not actually Anon. As for the reasoning? 4chan doesn't do anything unless its "for the lulz". Thats all the reason they ever need.

I swear these guys are the closest things to 40k orks humanity has to offer

but 40k orks are made for fightin and winnin. not biching and hacking game sites

 

[Andronicus]

Holy crap. Regardless of whether or not this is Anonynous, this is could turn very ugly. I think someone should declare the internet a no-go zone for a few days. Lord knows what this place'll look like in a few weeks time.

According to the chat log, they were trying to 'hit the headlines'. Whatever their main reasons may be behind it will remain a mystery but they sounded like pure stoners junkies just by the way words were misspelled in their sentences and their use of vulgar language.

 

[RA92]

You know, I thought this whole 'splintering' business was hilarious, but now I'm a little troubled. You might say AnonOps was douchey, but they never were this random...

I'm really pissed that they gave the PC version to some other studio in Europe. They're not taking this seriously.
It was literally the secondcoming of Jesus Christ, as foretold by his first name, JC. JC, a.k.a. Jesus Christ, is what they first wanted him to be when they started the game. I laughed so hard when I learned that.

 

[HerbertTheHamster]

how bout they renamed it to "Deo ex"

fucking mongoloids and their latin

 

[Abedeus]

Umm. Why does this seem to me like a society of drows? Not the thing with women in charge and whatnot, but the whole "work together for one thing, then backstab each other" thing.

 

[Dark Prophet]

A few days ago there was a news about "Disgruntled Anonymous Faction Maliciously Attacks Anonymous" and most replies were like muhaha that's so funny how they fight each other or on the lines of that and I paranoid like I am said and I quote

"If this group really consists of the best hackers in the world, then this shit could get really bad really fast and not for them but for us the everyman(and everywoman)because even I with my limited knowledge abot hacking and the hacking community can think of several ways how this could bite us from our virtual asses." So yes, it's hilarious how those hackers fuck us up.

By that logic, you're a stoner for your repetitive words. That's bad typing right there! (Mostly joking, don't report me )

I don't know what your logic is behind that. I don't exactly condone pot smoking, but I do know a few stoners, and trust me- they know how to spell. A few are actually very intelligent. The bad spelling has nothing to do with being a stoner. Nor does the vulgar language. Where did you get those ideas?

... God, I can't believe I'm defending stoners -_-'

Point is, you may be right or wrong about them being stoners, but that's neither here nor there. Whatever they are, they're most likely doing it for attention though, as you said. To "hit the headlines."

 

[beema]

I don't get how hacking Eidos and stealing their users' information is getting back at a splinter group of Anon.
That's like if I went out and robbed a bank to get back at a girl for breaking up with me. Makes no sense.

Seriously guys, go fuck yourselves. Hackers can be so full of shit. They've gone from supposed Robin Hoods to um... giant douchebags who steal things from unrelated private people for no reason.

So basically they are just petty criminals now.

 

[Scorched_Cascade]

Wonder how many more times I'll have to post this.

You DO NOT openly claim credit for crimes even if you are using a pseudonym. Your adding another layer to your dox. Lets say you use that name again elsewhere and someone manages to link that name to you; well guess what? That name is linked to this hack and the party van comes a knockin'.
