Gamers furious as indie studio Cloud Imperium quietly admits to data breach Gamers are ready to unleash their mightiest virtual weapons and point them at independent games studio Cloud Imperium, after it sat on news of a data breach for weeks and then announced it without fanfare. Readers have contacted The Register to point out that the company’s (CIG’s) sites have, in recent hours, included a meek …
It's on remote control from Texas.
Also, the company registration information they give for their German studio is wrong and it's probably illegal to give false information in Germany when you look at the kind of information German business websites usually include. Even Amazon makes an effort.
We didn't bother with security because it's boring and security people just cost money and point out problems.
If we get rid of security people we save money and don't have any problems to fix. Double win.
Now we've been hacked we need to make a show of improving security, mostly by saying in press releases how "customers data is our #1 priority". We'll get in some consultancy for a few days to cover the press releases and ICO prying, and we'll let the IT geeks run a few updates as long as it doesn't break anything. But no budget increases. In fact cuts to pay for the two days of security consultancy and the shredder to get rid of their report.
Than back to business as usual. After all lightning never hits the same spot twice does it?
I tend to assume it actually means ‘our CEO is a complete fuckwit who considers himself far too important to attend any sort of cyber-security training, or take any sort of advice (after all he is the CEO and therefore must be more intelligent than anyone else in the organisation); and just clicks on any and all links sent to him, especially from ‘yourbank@scammers.ru'
Bethesda- 14 years and counting to release a game? Hold my beer/tea/beverage of choice.
Anyway, we can all return to the age old game of What'll come first. Star Citizen, or the completion of A Song of Ice and Fire. Or perhaps the completion of Brexit?
Bethesda don't take hundreds of millions of pounds of people's money before releasing a game. (ignore pre-orders, you know what I mean)
They also actually do release their games.
Star Citizen is nothing more than a complicated and flashy scam.
The combination of too-much-disposable-income and too-little-critical-thinking in the Star Citizen backer space makes for a good haul.
Don’t need to use 419 Nigerian Prince spelleng goophs to filter out the gullible with this lot.
After all, once you’ve splurged out $2000 real moolah for a Privateer Kraken ship in this awesome game, I am sure you realize the full value of pre-IPO quantum AI blockchain smart contract clearing house providers and are ready to invest into the ground floor.

You are fans of a company whose entire business model is a grift taking advantage of dumbasses like you. And are so competent that after 15 years still can't manage to keep you from falling through floors in the starting area.
Wow, who would have guessed their security would be shite? They don't give a single fig about their players other than how hard they can milk you stupid ****s.
