DayZ servers hacked, source code reportedly leaked

4.7

Bohemia Interactive's servers have been hacked and the intruder appears to have gained access to DayZ's source code.

A user posting under the name "DevDomo" posted screengrabs of the purported source files to a cheating forum. Though the thread has since been pulled offline, a Reddit user grabbed a cached version of the discussion and its images.

Bohemia confirmed to Rely On Horror that an attack of some nature had occurred around DevDomo's time frame, though "the precise nature and scope of this attack is currently being extensively investigated."

Player accounts appear to be secure, but if the hacker manages to disseminate the source code and debugging tools that could mean the online zombie survival game - which has already encountered its share of hackers and cheaters - will likely see a new wave of exploits.

DayZ creator Dean Hall announced early in May that the standalone version of the former Arma 2 mod had sold more than two million copies via Steam Early Access.

TrueHardcoreGamer This why Console Gaming is better, cuz cheating/hacks are CONTROLLED, where on PC its full hackers/Modders/Cheater to many of them its hard to Controll them, u ban there IP they change it, U ban them diff way they work around it cuz hackers/Cheaters can bypass bans on PC, on a Console ones ur baned UR BANED LMFAO, PC needs step up & Fix This & Learn CONTROLL the cheating, the ONLY PC games that have Controlled cheaters/hackers/modders are PAY-To-Play Games where the game has Undercover ADMINS. But sucks for Day-Z heard its a Really Great Game
