It still bothers me that people say: "Punkbuster was hacked by nC". That isn't true. We just proofed that PB can be wrong and false positives aren't impossible!

We did not patch/modify any files to do so. Neither did we attack/infiltrate servers or websites. It's a proof-of-concept - the demonstration of circumstances that may have caused false violations.

The ones we triggered on purpose versus those violation trigged accidently if certain conditions are met. It doesn't matter that nC found the "security hole" and published it. It does not change the fact that false positives have been (and apparently will be) possible.
