Attacked/Hacked

Been getting a lot of flak from scripters. They just broke into one of the server turning it into a zombie. This is probably going to go on for a while, though.

First counter-measure was launched and the admins are watching the logs. Will then see how the attack goes and figure a new strategy for containing the next wave.

Gawd, this is definitely war going on the internet.

Trust/Security

Trust tokens using 3DES(et al) have been employed to slow down the cracking process. They will probably figure it out later, but this counter-measure should hold for the longer time until they give up and select a different server.
