kevsta545 451 Posted June 1, 2013 Hi everyone,So recently on a dayZ server i said in side chat" Anyone want to skype team? " A guy said yes and we shared skype Info, As i joined there was multiple others inside the call and right as i joined, i knew something messed up was going on.. Reasoning behind that was they randomely started bursting intolaughter.. I died, and then they said they were going to come to me (although i didnt give them coords or anything) and a second later i turn around and one of them is there.. then i see in the top right cornor of me screen, Rustlers Infections, you are now infected. press F1 to open controls. I say wtf to them in skype and they ask what, I tell them" um... rustlers infections? what is this?" They say WOW I just got that too! I press F1 and notice a gigantic list of hacks... I get scared now... I didnt download anything.. Im running off dayzcommander.. that only leaves one option. Ive been ddos'd???? My brain clicks. Im in a skype call.. they may have gotten my ip off it.. that means they could have loaded in some hacks.. Im begging to understand my compuuter could be compromised. They spawn a helicopter (although they act like it was randome) then after a bit the server (randomely) crashes.. I log back in and then they do and then they close skype and eject me out of the convorsation.. And then when i msg them they go offline.. Can someone explain to me what the heck just happened? This is my 3rd day playing.. and to be honest i dont know if i want to anymore, I dont want my computer to get ddos'd well actually I take that back, It was my idiot move to skype with someone randome.. I apologize. Please help me someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thehero 119 Posted June 1, 2013 Don't fret I have had the same happen to be (albeit in a wasteland server) apparently hackers can run a script to temporarily give you "hacks" re-logging has always solved this problem for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

colekern 1364 Posted June 1, 2013 Its a fairly common script. Don't worry, you're in no danger. Also, google DDOS like orlock said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You got what seems like a paid infection lolno they did not hack your computerNo they did not get your IP they couldve gotten that from skype to begin withseems like people have found a way to Bring infection Mods into Day-ZJust means like COD you get infected by joining a server and that infection gives you hacks to the gamelike Wallhack disarm people spawn weapons etc.....these usually always cost 5$ to $20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerandar 212 Posted January 2, 2014 ddos is a denial of service attack, basicly sending ping request to a server from 100's or 1000's of computers to get it to crash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
