    Then find they flaw before someone else does.
    Or make your bounty program more profitable than selling the hack to a third party.
    Manufacturers have options, they simply ignore both of them.

    Stop the game would mean manufacturer would actually have to invest in making their software bulletproof, sure nothing in sw ever is and it always becomes a cat and mouse thing.
    But sure as heck I'm not going to blame hackers for their hustle.
    No the game is manufacturers releasing hole ridden software. If you don't want people to sell spyware then make it so that reporting is more profitable than weaponizing it. If not than sorry, but my hats off to hackers for hustling their way to top with it.

    ARikozuM got a reaction from da na in British Tank Commander Leaks Classified Document so that War Thunder can Fix Their Game   
    Let him go. A schematic/manual doesn't really protect anyone, especially if the document is still blacked for the most part.

    ARikozuM reacted to Shreyas1 in British Tank Commander Leaks Classified Document so that War Thunder can Fix Their Game   
    Summary
     Here's a funny one. An alleged British tank commander and war thunder player leaked classified documents (basically the user manual) on the Challenger 2 MBT so that Gaijin would fix the model on the challenger 2, specifically the gap between the main turret and hull. This is a violation of the Official Secrets Act, and can carry up to a 14 year punishment in prison if persecuted. Much of the document was heavily redacted though, it was still classified information being shared. Unfortunately, since the information is classified, Gaijin now cannot make the changes.

    My thoughts
     The information being leaked doesn't seem to be that big of a deal in my opinion, I mean sure its classified, but I highly doubt that foreign powers are going to care about the gap between the turret and hull. For this reason I also doubt the leaker is going to get put in jail or anything. Not an expert in how these things are handled though. Still quite a funny story

    My thoughts
    Given how many people seem to attribute shortages to scalpers, it's interesting to see what else has been used. Take a look at the photos and notice the Playstation logo on them. Note those appear to be PS4's. Too bad the photos don't show anything else.

    So the PS4's were for an illegal bot farm. Run through machine translation.

    Movie goers barely have the attention span for the actual books. If they did, we'd finally have the 72-hour Lord of the Rings series.
