Irth Worlds News - Company Website Hacked

Posted by Dana Massey on Jul 26, 2005 | 11 comments in our forums

The official website for Magic Hat Software has been the victim of some cyber crime this afternoon as someone calling themselves "muie" - with the help of "shadow - defaced the site with several profanity laced tirades, pornography and other unwanted changes. The site has since been taken down by the company.

"I have to laugh to be honest," said Alan Chipura of Magic Hat Software. "Some people do not have enough better things to do than deface a public website."

The game's website was not impacted by the hacker who proclaimed a possible motivation, on the site itself, to be: "I HATE YOU ALL THE MOMENT I SAW THIS".
