EU11 - hacker spawning stuff on berezino coastline

[Gunni (DayZ) 0]

2 black SUV's just appeared from nowhere, and few helicopters, guy didnt know how to fly one so he chrashed few helicopters, then spawned more. Don't know player name since server doesnt have nametags/kill messages. He also might be invisible and trying to shoot people with AS50.

People pay monthly fee for these servers, one would think it would be the responsibility of the host company to keep hackers off their servers? Personally I would move to another server until the issue is resolved..but that's just me!

this is wrong in so many ways, i dont even know where to begin. i try simple words.

a server provider cant do shit if a server administrator runs programs which are exploitable. there are two possible solutions: not running exploitable software (in this case, not running a DayZ server) or patching the software to be less exploitable (which is what the developers of ArmA, DayZ, and BattleEye constantly do).

A pre-release version is by design more prone to exploits, and the highly customizable nature of ArmA as basis of the DayZ mod offers a multitude of attack vectors for malevolent individuals (ok, im not good with simple words)

tl;dr: its the software, not the server guys, endure it or wait for a more secured version.

to the OP: at least he aint throwing battleships B)
