Hacker on NZ25

[Fergusmcphail 0]

encountered a hacker on NZ25 or DayZ - NZ 25 (1.7.2.4/95389) [Veteran][uTC+7] dayzmod.com - hosted by Ocron

this event happened at around 6.20-6.30 Australian Eastern Standard time

So I was running along in the far north of the map to locate an ATV that me and some friends had crashed earlier to get the loot back off of it. I was in an open field not far from Misty Peak. I was searching for the ATV that we crashed into a tree when i started getting shot at by a silenced weapon, I didnt get hit at first and so ducked behind some pine tree's, I took a peak out from round the tree and saw this guy run behind another tree out of my view, so i turned around and ran to get to a better vantage point when all of a sudden I look to my right and the same guy was right infront of me, we both shot at each other, he hit me and i went down, knocked out and bleeding but not dead, I shot him with my AS50 and killed him in one hit. While I waited for the knockout timer I could hear the flies from his dead body, got back up, bandaged my wounds and was at about 3.9k blood. Searched the general area but couldnt find this guys body.

I also notice at this point that I gained 1 bandit kill and saw the few names appear in the bottom left corner as players being killed. The first name was "Ventura" but I'd seen him die a few times so there's no way he could be so far north, the second name, who I believe is the hacker was "jD529". A third name appeared as "owner" but his name appeared to long after this above engagement happened for it to have been this player.

so I went about my business, found the crashed ATV, took some gear and started heading back. Got to the same open field and made it about 2-300 meters out into the open and all of a sudden i hear someone call out. it went something along the lines of:

'Hey faggot'

'Hey faggot, why'd you kill me?'

I spin around and there's this guy right behind me, running at me, so i shot him 3 times in the chest at point blank with an AS50 and he doesn't even flinch

'Hey faggot, why'd you shoot me?' he asked again

he then proceeded to shoot my legs with what looked like an AKS- KOBRA and said something about where did my legs go and I died

One of my friends (player "Mastertaco") on the server saw the server display player "Fergus" (me) being killed. I hung around in the server at the 'you are dead' screen and watched the player list.

Now I didnt see the next part happen but I heard it over voice chat with my friend (Mastertaco) on steam. He relayed to me that someone appeared behind him, called out 'Hey Buddy' and then started shooting at him. Mastertaco ALT-F4'd to save himself from this hacker and managed to spawn on another server passed out and bleeding from being shot by this guy but he managed to get up and bandage himself. Mastertaco was roughly 4K's away from me on NZ25 @ approximate grid ref. 082003 NW of Pedoba Dam. He was shot at not 2 minutes after I died

I got a screenshot of jD529 in the player list but nothing else

here is the link to the screenshot in the steam cloud:

Can verify this happened, was prone under a pine tree when suddenly heard a voice right behind me, followed by a gunshot and broken legs. Since Fergus had just been killed in a very similar manner, we decided it would be prudent to alt-f4 to deny the hacker any of the loot. Whilst I am sad that I can no longer say I've never alt-f4'd at least it worked and the hacker got nothing. Soon after this, a friend on the server reported that jD529 had disconnected, no doubt dissappointed with the lack of success with his latest victim.

Ventura was on NZ28 tonight when I got hacked, might just be a coincidence though.

Ohhhh god all the lol's

JD is a good friend of mine and I know him from a gmod server we BOTH play on, he would never hack. EVER.

'some one behind me"

"calls out hey buddy"

MUST BE A HACKER!!!!! ALT-F4 ACTIVATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!*click*click*click*click*click*

Reason you think he's hacking: "i shot a guy and killed him and a second guy killed me after i missed every shot."

"Also my freind alt+f4'd cos he was snuck up on by a skilled player"

I took a peak out from round the tree and saw this guy run behind another tree out of my view, so i turned around and ran to get to a better vantage point when all of a sudden I look to my right and the same guy was right infront of me

obviously two guys then....

Not quite, we were about 5km apart from each other, at the very top of the map. I was completely alone when I went under the tree (twas one of about 3 trees in a clump, on the side of a hill lacking any other vegetation), or at the very least my L85 reported no heat sigs, and I couldn't see anyone with binocs. Now whilst I admit it could have been a player who had just logged on, and happened to log on right behind me, they had the same gun that was just used against Fergus, and appeared in a very similar manner. I was not going to take any chances.
