Elite Hackers Target Games Amidst Declining Quality
The primary focus is on a group of elite hackers from China, known for exploiting vulnerabilities in web games. Recently, the publisher of a popular web game called Rainbow Island discovered that their game was being undermined by a third-party plug-in, referred to as “Tử Long.” This plug-in has the ability to bypass the security system of Rainbow Island, compromising the gameplay experience for users and jeopardizing the stability and maintenance of the game.
After reporting the issue to authorities, specialized agencies began a thorough investigation. The investigation revealed that four hackers were behind “Tử Long.” This group of gamers has earned a reputation for being top-tier hackers, often referred to as “war gods” within the Rainbow Island community.
According to the investigation, upon reaching higher rank levels, the hacker group noticed that the quality of hacking software available on the market was increasingly subpar. The demand among gamers for effective hacking tools was soaring. Consequently, all members of the group collaborated to develop “Tử Long,” leveraging their prior experience after conquering Rainbow Island.
Four Hackers Face Severe Penalties
Following the discovery, all four hackers were held accountable for their actions regarding the unauthorized intrusion into the software system. According to the court’s decision, they were ordered to compensate the original game company 1.7 million CNY (approximately 6,000 USD) and pay back over 400,000 CNY (about 1,400 USD) in illegal software sales.
This hacker group is also facing a jail sentence of 1 year and 9 months to 3 years. All members must serve their sentences and pay fines ranging from 40,000 CNY to 160,000 CNY (approximately 140,000 to 560,000 USD). Clearly, there is no happy ending for these hackers. However, the severe penalties outlined above are crucial for maintaining the healthy development of the gaming industry in the current digital age.
