EVE Database Hacked, CCP Issues Statement

Friday morning, someone hacked the EVE Online database and tried to manipulate data, possibly to give themselves an unfair advantage. CCP quickly discovered the intrusion and handled the problem, and then issued the following statement:

At 10:25 GMT today we discovered an anomaly in the EVE Online Database indicating a potential exploit. Our policy in such cases is to mobilize a taskforce of internal and external experts to evaluate the situation. At 12:57 that group concluded that our best course of action was to go completely dark while an exhaustive scan of our entire infrastructure was executed.

Our taskforce quickly found the security breach and prevented that from being used. We subsequently found three cases of database actions being performed through the security breach but none of those affected other users than the one doing the actions. We can also confirm that no personal details such as users' credentials or credit card numbers were exposed through this incident.

To see the official statement in its entirety, hit the jump.

BugHunters are now recruiting!
Over the past few months ISD have gone through changes, the BugHunter team is no exception and our aim is to grow it well beyond its previous state. As some of you may have noticed, we have created a subdivision in BugHunters called the Localization Team, which works on the Localized clients due out later this year. At the moment the Localization Team has reached the goal we set out, but we still want to grow the general BugHunter team.

This is why we need you. You are the player base, you've played for a long time, and you know the issues, you can tell bug from whine from inaccurate information. If you are 18 years or older, have an good understanding of the English language, have been playing EVE for a minimum of 4 months and have a good understanding of EVE mechanics, if you are experienced or willing to learn how to use IRC, have good communication skills and feel you could keep your status as a volunteer secret from your friends, then sign up for the volunteer BugHunter team!
