    Thanks for the advice.

    Hacks are common even with big corporations, take Yahoo as an example

    If you’re a server owner, you have a responsibility to keep your systems secure. You’re operating in a scene where people will jump onto any exploit they can and the onus is absolutely on you to keep these exploits to a minimum.
    So if the onus is on them, are they gonna be held accountable for hyping up and launching an unsecured server putting their entire playerbase (not to mention our community they advertise on) at risk? I wouldn't trust these people launching a server here ever again lol.

    7.1 Malicious Conduct
    Malicious conduct may lead to severe account action. The malicious conduct can vary from denial of service attacks, group/mass spamming, registering an account with intent to cause trouble, and malicious software. This also includes providing software to engage in such acts.
    uwu

    i would assume events like this have happened many times throughout rune-servers history (dunno for sure tho) i'd be interested to know how it was handled in the past, as consistency is important here

    Mistakes happen, companies get hacked all the time. In this case, it was a bit of human error, but nothing too egregious. They disclosed the fact that they had been compromised and they were relatively timely about it. I don't think there is any point in punishing them.

    I don't want to start the precedent, really. It'll get messy quick if we start banning people for 0-day exploits in IPB and stuff like that.

    Well, the bigger issue that Scu mentioned yesterday is that it's actually 5 servers that are affected, I figured it was just the 3 posted in the OP of this thread. If it was still in the 1-3 servers affected range, they absolutely should be disallowed from advertising any RSPS here in the future. That's what having responsibilities means, it means you face consequences if you don't carry them out. This situation is more unique than that though it seems.

    But with the number at 5 servers and possibly more we just don't know of, it speaks to there being a larger issue that the RSPS owners were in much less control of than originally thought (IPB exploit they couldn't do anything about or w.e). Makes it harder to ensure the "onus" *really is* on the RSPS owners in a situation like this.

    Wow, actually had XLSTART on my computer. Didn't download any of the servers listed though, so even if you didn't log in to these 3 servers you might still wanna check.

    Can't really ban people for 0 day IPB exploits like Omar said, this has been happening for years and the individual that does this is still allowed to own and advertise his server. That is the issue here really. Instead of blaming people the onus should be on the community to spread good security information and yeah still on owners of course but still... When I get time I will make a thread regarding this, but for now people can just view what I posted on the first page unless someone else beats me to making a thread.

    OS-Scape is now fully secure and this won't happen again, the hacker is a 1 trick pony so if you're not using IPB or he doesn't manage to hack an account from previous data leaks or bruteforce attempts the servers are fine.

    Maybe this could be helpful for people who are new to security. Just plain basic tutorials how to secure your linux server. Because changing permissions of folders and files won't really do much if you haven't properly secured your server.


    You can easily follow these step-by-step!

    https://www.informaticar.net/securit...-ubuntu-20-04/

    EDIT:

    Also in this tutorial it shows you how to accept more incoming/outgoing IP's, ports, services... If you need it.

    You'd think the top servers would be better at the basics!!!
