Crytek takes servers down after suspicious activity

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 08/05/2013 08:07 AM | source: | 28 comment(s)

Yesterday Crytek has taken down all of their severs including Crytek.com, Mycryengine.com, Crydev.net and MyCrysis.com. Apparently they have been breached as the pages report a note on 'suspicious activity'.

Thus far Crytek has not released any information about what has happened so it is unclear what user data is vunerable:

THIS SITE IS CURRENTLY OFFLINE

We recently became aware of suspicious activity relating to some of Crytek's websites, and acted quickly to take those websites offline for security reasons.

We thank you for your patience, and expect to have these sites fully operational soon.

I don't have an account with Crytek, EA or UBI for this reason. I don't buy off STEAM anymore and only use a handful of game sites to buy DRM Free so don't have to make a game account or be online, granted this severely limits what I play but the last few years there's not been anything sparkling worth playing for me anyway

What's to hmm.. about?

GOG have some decent games that benefit from faster hardware. Have about 90+ games bought from GOG, just bought ROTT 2013 from there and will probably get Dragon Commander too. The Witcher 1 + 2 are much more playable on modern hardware as well, good games are still available without all the crap that is steam/origin/uplay if you choose to go the DRM free route.

That said, it still doesn't stop someone hacking GOG and getting usernames/passwords, and did anyone think Guru3D would get hacked? No, me neither. Once we start having one time activations and NO further requirement for an internet connection or DRM crap running like steam etc, then I might be interested.

@Koniakki: you always manage to give me a laugh dude :banana:

Well, laughter is one of the good things in life. Also I try to lighten up the mood sometimes when some fuses in a thread start to lit up! KABOOM is no good usually.
