Case Closed

Hey guys, does everyone remember that hacking a while back? Well, I finally cracked the case.

The culprit was Mathia, the leader of the Gentlemen of Lore. The clan that steals most of its content from TR. Apparently, he was able to get the password to a staff's account and delete everything. What struck me as odd was that he deleted all the content on the site that he steals content for his own site from. He must really hate us.

That's a rather bold statement. What do you think this is, Clue?
Like most people who feel proud of themselves after successfully inconveniencing others, Mathia decided to brag to his friends to what a 1337 haxx0r he was. Today I got one of them to come clean. Which one? I told them I'd withhold their name if they told me what happened. So thank you, mystery informant X, you did the right thing.

Okay, I'm done. Go about your business.

EDIT: Oh, I almost forgot.

You staff should probably change your passwords.

Mathia? That cheeky little!... Oh sorry, all I remember from the name Mathia was when he used to be a TR member, and he was pretty nice too, on occasion. Whatever made him do this was something harsh, because when he quit he did this. Most just forgive and forget and forget about TR.

Good job partner.
I can't believe it was really Mathia...
They pointed is in the direction of FD just as a distraction. ;-;

Wow, guys. Wow. Good Job, but TR is still at gunpoint, I suppose.

He's probably in a panic reading this. xD. I get the feeling he's stalking the forums.

*Looks around*

I can imagine him trying to figure out who informant X is.
Anyways.
Victory for finding out. Good work Pere! :D

Oh, Mathia isn't much of a GENTLEMEN, considering he's the leader of the GENTLEMEN Of Lore. xD

Well not that im not happy about you chatching him Pere, but when the hack message came up i was franticaly going through my files on my laptop to see if my friend left some decoding software on it.
But as soon as i found it the message was gone and V was saying that it was all an april fools joke.
Unless i'm thinking of another thing completly and the Mathia thing is completly blocked from my brian.
Some clearence on the mater may be needed for me.

Heh, actually Sepulchure, I'm talking about THIS hacking: http://www.trforums.com/archives-f9/tr-hack-t1838.htm#59666

The one that wasn't an April Fool's Day joke.

by Guest on Thu Apr 15, 2010 5:45 am

Mathia was always quite arrogant, so this was just the outcome of that. His so called "club" has some TR members, which I expect to decrease within the next week seeing what Mathia has done to us. I'm not the type to hold grudges, but of all the things I despised about Mathia, this pulled the trigger. And Seppy, there was a hack that deleted some posts, threads, etc. right after that April Fools joke.
Last thing, don't you think this was revenge on us for banning him?

by **Erik** on Thu Apr 15, 2010 5:45 am

The April Fools joke was Vamp, but a few days later Mathia deleted a BUNCH of posts apparently. I remember seeing my posts between somewhere around 4 EST to 3 EST gone. I just can't believe it was Math. Wow.

Admins, did you by any chance use your same password on his website? Because maybe it was not encrypted, and rather he had access to it. Oh well, scary stuff.

I'm glad that Mathia has been caught. I thought of him as a friend, but I just can't anymore after what he did. What is wrong with him, some TR members are in HIS site also, wtf.

by Guest on Thu Apr 15, 2010 5:56 am

Erik, Mathia got it through Ice. I went on TGL awhile back, noticing he was an art mod. As the leader of TGL, Mathia was able to use Ice's password to enter his TR account, which was at the Admin status at the moment. Thus, he hacked TR with perfect ease and would probably never have been caught, unless he hadn't blabbered to his "friends."

by Guest on Thu Apr 15, 2010 6:19 am

Well what i was thinking, is what my dad does at his work
You change your password every week or so
although he says it gets very tedious
And thanks for clearing that up for me guys

by **Erik** on Thu Apr 15, 2010 6:26 am

Ah, he got through Ice's account. I didn't know whose he got through. Mathia is really a jerk now...

by Guest on Thu Apr 15, 2010 6:32 am

>.> when i met him in b-1 he seemed pretty nice, but i guess he's a real jerk

I might not have been mine, I use different passes.
