If these didn't happen so often people wouldn't need to. Why should Random Internet Game care about security aside from dicks like these guys?
If you care about the integrity of your data, you damn well better care about your security.
My credit card number was used from Turkey this week. I have absolutely no idea which website was compromised. And I am pretty sure that whoever was compromised has no idea either.
Our conclusion was that Chase Manhattan had been compromised. That's kind of scary, really. They have to be spending serious money on security.
And yet you know that Chase and Citigroup are spending money on security in copious amounts. My heart breaks to think of all those guys getting paid not to know jack. (Or, just as probably, all those guys getting paid not to be able to shove jack through the corporate process.)
In my case the fact that the purchase was made from Turkey suggests that it was an online compromise.
If my account information or personal details are vulnerable to theft somehow, I want to know about that. But if a server I play games on can be taken down by DDoS, I'd happily go the rest of my life not knowing or caring so long as it doesn't actually happen. It contributes about as much as showing me that that bridge I like to drive over is susceptible to bombing.
Not that I play any of these games, mind.
Yes it's getting annoying, but they're doing it for the lulz. You can't say the same about all the other malicious hackers.
