Underground-Gamer Hacked…Again
April 17, 08 by sharky 2,931 views
For the second time in four months, Underground-Gamer.com has fallen to hackers. It’s been almost four days since the popular gaming site had been hacked, and there’s still no sign of life at the site. No motives have yet to be established, and the torrent tracker immediately went offline, leaving everyone stranded.
The hackers even infiltrated and commandeered their IRC channel, according to members who were chatting at the time. They’ve since restored the channel, and the new IRC message reads, “Site was hacked and is being restored - be patient-like. Asking “what happen to site? = “plz kick me!”. Yes, we have backups! There are no services, don’t ask, and if you want an invite, you’re SOL”. Killergorilla, a member at UG who was on IRC at the time of the hack, stated: “It’s been hacked. I was on the IRC server earlier and the hackers were on there. Interesting chaps.”
