Damn, I almost forgot...

... but back to the days when crossfire revealed a couple of hackers
by cross-checking IPs, didn't MigrosBudget came up with the
idea of setting up some dummy customer accounts? I think he did...

My memory fades fast, but I'm most certain he revived and renamed (banned) accounts
to create some lovely fakes. To feed any anti-cheater's obsession for IPs, all of
them where set up with appropiate IP addresses (let em find what they're looking for).
I was quite amused that crossfire actually took the bait

Once again innocent players are considered cheaters by the help of crossfire.
That's the good news. The sad new is that we don't know exactly how these people
managed to get our database, but we suspect its related to a VBB exploit which has
been fixed already. However nC has always urged its customers to browse nC by proxy and to
register anonymously (read our customer guide: How to use nC anonymously posted Jan 2008).

Apparently some customers did not follow our recommendation and will find themself
exposed by crossfire now. This is most inconvient and we are now going to patch
our server not to log any IPs anymore to prevent this from happening again. As
nC was told about crossfire's activities long before today, we've already
started to sell our hacks without the need to register to nC at all.
