DE4 possibly hacked?

[LNC PhantoM 0]

Hi there, I'm not 100% certain this is the right forum to post this in; apologies if I'm incorrect.

Last night, at I'd estimate between 1-2am (GMT) my friend and I were playing on DE4. We were sniping outside Elektro power station, both incredibly kitted out (my character was on Day 8, his 6) - I had NVG, GPS, etc. and we both have DMRs.

So anyway, we see about 6 people die at once, several from one clan. We assumed it was a firefight, but still noted it as strange 6 people died simultaneously.

About 2 mins later or so (maybe 5), we both just dropped dead simultaneously, no gunshots or anything. The killfeed was completely full also, with as many names as possible there. I can only assume almost the entire server (if not all) dropped dead randomly.

We get back to where we died to hear nothing but flies and no bodies.

Is there any logical explanation for this? Yes, I know it's an Alpha, please don't throw that in my face, but I've never seen anything like this happen before, and I feel cheated that I lost all of that gear from what is possibly a hack.

On a side note, since everyone was, it was absolute carnage with everyone starting at the same time desperately trying to find loot. Such a weird way to play Day Z. Stary was VERY profitable.

Looks like someone was hacking/exploiting the server and killed all ppl. There a few threads here, describing the same, but on different servers.

Git notification if it happening this morning.

Soon as I'm home work ill check the logs.

Sorry for this. DE4 hasn't had that many on it compared to other servers.

Will post details ASAP

Appreciate it mate; sucks to have lost all my stuff, though... server was running like a dream until this.
