The seemingly unstoppable Lulz Boat has apparently sailed past the digital security perimeters of both the US Senate and Bethesda Softworks. The good news? Lulz is really, really looking forward to Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.
"As you should know, The Lulz Boat stores vast amounts of booty; much of this booty we don't release as it's simply too shiny and/or delicious. As of late, certain inferior sailing boats have discovered flaws in Brink (brinkthegame.com), thinking themselves exciting and new. Too late. The Lulz Boat controls this ocean, chumps," the hacker group wrote in an official communiqué.
"Some weeks ago, we smashed into Brink with our heavy artillery Cannons and decided to switch to ninja mode. From our LFI entry point, we acquired command execution via local file inclusion of enemy fleet Apache vessel. We then found that the HTTPD had SSH auth keys, which let our ship SSH into other servers. We then switched to root ammunition rounds. And we rooted... and rooted... and rooted..."
After mapping Brink's internal network and thoroughly pillaging all of their servers, the group silently extracted both source code and database passwords.
Although Lulz public posted the collected data, it refrained from uploading information on approximately 200,000+ Brink users.
