- Found some Nargles in the database. Trying to bring things back.
- Still poking at it. Stay loving and caring people. : )
- We've launched our new "snow storm" theme for http://minecraft.net. Get it?
- Going to tear everything down to test it internally for a couple of minutes.
- Looking at the login servers and http://minecraft.net now. Please stop DDoS. :<

Minecraft server was hacked! (Updated 1/29)

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 00:53:00 -0500

This news has been updated for more info after Exor has researched deeply.

What happen? (Updated)
Our minecraft server was hacked by someone called "notch" which was using cracked client to name himself "notch". I assumed he watched the real time map and see who is admin of the server and then rename himself to "Brillis18". He can rename himself to anyone because he uses cracked client. So he named himself "Brillis18" because he will retain admin power which is also because "Brillis18" is an admin. He uses "Brillis18" to make "notch" and "jeb_" an admin. He also uses "Brillis18" to add "notch" and "jeb_" to white list. He then log off "Brillis18" and then log in "notch" and "jeb_" -- assuming he had 2 minecraft clients running at same time. He then put ball of lava on Xarta (city). This happened twice.

What did Exor do? (Updated)
After deep research and apparently he did NOT enter ftp server but I have changed the password for ftp just in case. I have the hacker banned via IP address. I have uploaded the back up file to fix the ball of lava. I have enabled "online-mode" for server's protection against hackers. For those people who use cracked client, you are still on white list but you will not be able to enter until you bought the game.

This is necessary to protect server from hackers. This is also ensure that people who have REAL username, not a fake username using cracked client.

EDIT: Found more information of the hacker. The hacker used Deafgeek's ip address to enter our server as "notch" and "Brillis18" and "jeb_" and "exor18". Here's prove:
Real:
>22:42:20 [INFO] deafgeek [/68.207.236.4] logged in
Fake:
>23:23:09 [INFO] Brillis18 [/68.207.236.4] logged in
>23:23:50 [INFO] jeb_ [/68.207.236.4] logged in
>23:29:27 [INFO] exor18 [/68.207.236.4] logged in
>23:29:42 [INFO] notch [/68.207.236.4] logged in
Noticed that all ip address above is same as deafgeek's real ip address.

I also found other people trying to connect (probably more hackers): (Updated)
