Welp He quit again... Nothing to unusual

1.5GB of data relating to the company and Fez's game files Hacked and released...Wait What...


Hold On a second

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Edit: For people who don't want to look at the png his Company's Website is hosted by Cloudfire...
People are starting to pick his story apart because of Cloudfire's security feature's
Cloudfire requires access from all of the registered devices to himself to be able to change the site.
The Best Hacker's Can do is a DDoS attack. However on the site was posted information about his employee's and game files to Fez. He Blamed /v/ for the hack. However /v/ claims a hack was never planned. It is shaping up that he posted the files and claimed to have been hacked...

I always know I'm going to get the best information on an internet controversy from a long, low quality jpeg. This one is disappointingly short.

[Sergarr]

is this the continuation of the dreaded 4chan vs tumblr episode or is it just general stupidity of a few "elites" who thought they were smarter than 10'000s of anonymous?

[My Name is Immaterial]

No, this is a new controversy.

All the stuff in that image is bullshit. 2FA isn't some magic cure to internet security; if someone wants to hack you in a targeted manner and know what they're doing, they can do so if they've got a spare weekend unless you literally don't use a computer.

15 seconds is enough time for several GB of data, not just 1.5, so long as you've got a good net connection (like those the average university computing majors would have). And personal web servers are usually used for a lot more than just websites; most people who have them will also use them for game servers, cold storage of important stuff, ect.

And if I were a hacker out to get them, those are literally exactly what I would have done. Post to their websites, since their websites are known to currently be watched by the 4chan crowd, who would see the info instantly without the need to spread pastebins, and because it would add an extra cherry on top of the insult of the hacking itself. "Judging from previous examples" is crap, as a hacker will do whatever they want with the data they acquire.

The final stage in the attack would be done as simultaneously as possibly in order to avoid raising suspicion, prospects of failure, and potential of being caught, all of which would increase if the targets were aware they were being hacked (as they would be if the final stage was done one by one). You would want to complete this final stage as quickly and simultaneously as possible.

Or in summary, if they were hacked, that's exactly what it would look like.

No it's not. Those are gygabytes, while network speed is mesured in gygabits. So they'd need a ten gygabits connection, if the storage speed can follow, which it usually cannot do.

Yeah, but that's above what 4chan can usually do.

That's per second. For 15 seconds. So from a university, you could get around 2GB of data up in that time. And assuming you would immediately leave the system or whatnot, 15 seconds is more than enough. Not that there's even a source of said '15 second' figure anyway, so that's a moot point to begin with.

[Bauglir]

The average desktop PC with the average home Internet connection cannot do that. Systems designed to deal with high data volumes should be able to move 1.5 gigabytes from point A to point B in under 15 seconds trivially. If they couldn't, and correct me if I'm wrong on this, the Internet wouldn't function because servers wouldn't be able to handle even small loads (thousands of users) without an industrial-scale data complex to spread it out.

EDIT: For clarity, I'm saying "It happened too fast, this is impossible" is not true. It indicates only that, if there was a hacker, the data was moved through good hardware and a good Internet connection.

[penguinofhonor]

I'm really disappointed this isn't called Fishgate. Unless that's been taken by a previous Phill Fish controversy.

[Sergarr]

If 4chan did that, the first thing they would do is to change the password on his Twitter.

Except he totally posted that tweet about him getting hacked. So the password on twitter wasn't changed. So he wasn't actually hacked.

[alway]

They're separate systems. They may simply have seen no point in doing so, especially if they wanted lulz at seeing a response from them.

[Sergarr]

I don't see what's so lulz-worthy in releasing 1.5 GB of random company information without even posting a snarky comment.

[penguinofhonor]

How about watching someone get accused of hacking themselves pretty much solely because the internet doesn't like them? If I had orchestrated this situation, I would find it hilarious right now.
