"Shores of Hazeron Account Holder, This is an important security notification. You are receiving this message because this e-mail address is associated with a player account in the Shores of Hazeron game. Please reply to this mail if you have received this message in error. An intruder recently exploited a hole in the security of one of the Shores of Hazeron servers. That security hole has been plugged. The intruder replaced the Windows version of Shores of Hazeron with a trojan EXE file Friday morning 4/20/2012 at about 7:00am MDT. Both the full download and the patch were infected. DO NOT EXECUTE THOSE FILES! The Linux downloads were not affected. Immediately upon discovery of the intrusion, the server was shutdown pending brown townysis of the breach. Unfortunately, this happened while I was out of town with limited network connectivity. A quick shutdown was the only immediate option. I was unable to investigate the extent of the breach until this morning. IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTICE! The logs do not show exactly which files were accessed by the intruder. Among the files that could have been accessed was a backup of the player login database from October 28, 2011. It is possible for a hacker to dissect that file to discover the login account names, passwords and e-mail addresses of all Shores of Hazeron player accounts that existed as of October 28, 2011. All players will receive notification of this incident by e-mail at the address in our database. For your security, it is recommended that you immediately change the password on your Shores of Hazeron login account. -- David H. Hoeft President Software Engineering, Inc. 7000 S. Yosemite St. Suite 100 Centennial, CO 80112 303-290-8756 888-831-9946 Fax" Damn hackers messing everything up. Anyone else got a Hazeron account? I haven't played the game in a while so if any of you have played it recently do a scan. |
