Slashdot has word that the game client source of Eve Online, the popular MMOG developed CCP, has been leaked via torren. Word is:
"CCP is aware that an individual claims to have access to the source code of the EVE client. This access is not a security risk to CCP in any way," stated the developer.
"Access to the source code for the EVE client exposes no security vulnerabilities, has no privacy protection issues, and poses no threat to our customers' billing information.
"The server-side interface used by the client is carefully protected to ensure that no abusive or unwanted information is transmitted to, or from the internal EVE server systems. Nothing the EVE client can do can affect the game state, no advantage can be gained by manipulating the EVE client, no advantageous or disadvantageous information can be transmitted to other EVE users by altering the EVE client," added the company.
Although the company has acknowledged the theft of the game source code, it would not disclose any information on how the code had been accessed.
20:44] <Abuser> Could you certainly say me what your programmers did to secure clientside from exploiting Eve?
[20:44] <Abuser> what's certainly
[20:45] <Abuser> I don't have anything against content makers - their ideas are good, really good
[20:45] <Abuser> I have full eve sourcecode, so you know what's did, and what's not;)
[20:46]
<Abuser> From all security i saw - were ROLE permissions for
logins with priviliges higher than usual player, and some minor things
in relation to prevent some remote service calls (some with potentially
bad payload)
[20:46] <Abuser> nothing else
[20:47] <Abuser> is that called "programmers working on security"?
[20:47] <[IA]Morpheus> Are you cruising for a job or something?
[20:47] <Abuser> Nah
[20:47] <Abuser> neither job, neither anything else
[20:47] <Abuser> you may think of in such direction
[20:48] <Abuser> Digging the situation to uncover the truth
[20:49] <Abuser> You may compare me to fox mulder from x-files series
[20:49] <Abuser> it's the best description of why i do this
[20:49] <[IA]Morpheus> Ah, well, nice to meet you Mr Mulder.
[20:50]
<Abuser> So would you like to answer what AWESOME ccp programmers
did in relation to client/server security (at least for client?)
[20:51]
<[IA]Morpheus> No, we won't respond to blackmail. If you think we
don't care or aren't working on improving security you are sadly
mistaken
