Last weekend a shocking leak of services that appear Finally for Us Part II it may have been carried out by hackers who exploited security risks in previous Naughty Dog games, according to a person they said was familiar with hacking. Kotaku confirmed further details about a second source familiar with the way Naughty Dog studio games are organized.
The details of the obvious crack were first participating on Twitter late Saturday is a person who goes by the name Pixelbutts, who revealed more about the exact message of how the abuse was discovered. He declined to share his real name.
He also described the sequence of events that began in January. It was then, when, he said, that a group of chefs found a way to access Amazon's servers in the Naughty Dog games using what the password information actually contained in the video game code, including 2011 Excluded 3 & 2013 & # 39; s The Last to Us. Those games reach the servers in multiplayer functionality but apparently they can be used to download files stored there.
"The UC3 key got them UC3 enhancements, the UC2 key did the same, but instead the TLOU1 content was integrated into the UC3 server," Pixelbutts said. "There was not much time to think that a TLOU1 server could have a TLOU2 property."
In March, he said, the team hosted at least one terabyte of data on the server side associated with it Last to Us.
G / O Media may receive a commission
That track time and the much anticipated PS4 special are expected. At least one of the most important, destructive parts that posted online by the provider included the developer code that identified the video as from the game's design on April 1 While the leak also included the gameplay, it's unclear whether hackers could find the game's mysterious construction compared to the game's -gameplay recorded by Naughty Dog and stored on studio servers.
Pixelbutts said they reported Naughty Dog to a security feature in February and also said he did not participate in the arrest and did not find any leaks.
Tell him Kotaku today that the key to access the Amazon server was changed on or before April 30, closing a virtual hole that allows for leaks.
The Sony PlayStation responder did not respond KotakuRequest comment for this account.
This morning, however faithful Kotaku news editor Jason Schreier reported that the leak was indeed a boat, is about two people who have direct knowledge of it and interviews with the staff of the Naughty Ninja. Our second source has also included some of these details.
What remains unclear is who accomplished the leak and why. Pixelbutts said he could not believe that a group of hijackers who discovered the abuse in January continued with the release of Naughty Dog dog money. Last For Us 2 goods. "Their circle is more interested in the ND than if the content was developed in their games, rather than the perpetrators. However, he believes that the person who witnessed the abuse, possibly using that group, instilled that.
A major leak occurred last week and promptly led to rumors that it was an unfortunate employee's reaction, possibly outraged by the studio debate crunch culture. Those rumors were quickly reported to be true in some gaming shops and other social media platforms, but it doesn't appear that the leak has ever made such a claim. The leak managed to ruin many of the plot points that were meant to be kept secret, and the release of the following graphic novel in the series & # 39; s upset many players who wanted to start the game inactive. It also infuriated developers on Naughty Dog, who had ruled for years to maintain confidentiality the details of their characters & # 39; second to stay current a disaster has happened United States.
On Friday, the Sons were told Kotaku the company that owned it identify "best people" responsible for the leak and noted that those persons were not current or previous employees or contractors. That shot out of the context of the problem of unrelated workers' thinking. Compatible with Tony & # 39; s a claim can be a situation in which mature files are obtained by hacking once posted online by an outsider, but it was all based on the vulnerability of an unknown risk that the Naughty Dog did not know or expected to lead to disaster.
"You can't believe what it sounds like to be the darkest story ever, even if that's what you want to hear," wrote Pixelbutts on Twitter today. "Sometimes it's really tricky. Hackerman uses the risks created by his company games to gain internal access."
If Naughty Dog had gotten it feelings in recent weeks, quite a bit to end the game and the pressure to switch from homework due to covid-19 would leave the team in a worse position to stop it. And if they managed to ditch that hole on April 30, they just arrived late.
After the strange a cycle of amazing development, Finally for Us Part II it will finally be released next month on June 19th.
