Hackers on Seattle 100

[Bell Pepper 1]

* Server this happened on. - Seattle 100

* Time that it happened including your timezone. - 10:30 AM EST-ish

* What happened during the incident. - Okay. I was riding back to my squad's camp with our tractor as I heard gunshots. Parked the tractor and looked around; found 3 guys. Killed them all with an M249 SAW. Looked at their bodies and found guns such as an AKS (it was gold), hacked LMG, and some other gun I don't remember. I also noticed a bunch of spawned ammo crates with nothing in them anymore around our base. I hid the bodies so the illegitimate guns disappeared.

Two of the guys' names were "refresh" and "JOKER." I don't remember the other one unfortunately...

[EDIT] Lost connection to the server and rejoined 10 minutes later. We saw a green helicopter flying but JOKER and refresh are not in the server; I wonder if the other hacker is here or they saved it to the map and a normal player is using it...?

Hi Bell Pepper. I was watching the files as the hack was happening. As you are probably aware by now its pretty hard for admins to find out what is going on as some of these scripts hide themselves as ligit scripts, However. BE does keep a record of these scripts and they are more than certain to get a global ban on the next update. As you were aware i restarted the server and as soon as the restart happened someone added a script. I was able to detect this as it was a #49 (accessing server control) as soon as this was logged the choppas and cargo spawned, i did another restart shortly after this to remove those items. They are not hardwired to our map so dont worry! it doesnt work like that, it just so happened the script was executed on the next restart/ I/We are always looking through the logs, i have spent more time watching them in 2 windows streaming live to catch these children than actually playing now. We are implementing some more info on the servers in the next few hours that will illiminate this further, its a work in progress for us admins and i am happy spending the time checking log files live to make sure you guys have a good game experiance. So i appologise for the inconveniance that this has caused you and everyone else but as time goes by we are slowly getting on top of it. If you have any issues in game please feel free to hope in our TS chanel. I am Here most of the time and have players in here giving me real time info on these exploits. But rest assured there Day Z playing days are soon to end! :)
