Nothing got Hykem, read up a few posts. He's just taking precautions.
Doxing is understandably scary if you're a hacker.
I'm joking of course, I think this whole raid business is absolute bull dung.
Did Hykem actually get doxed though? How did they get his info? You'd think people involved in hacking would be more careful with their personal details.

Ayy.

You guys actually thought his "proof" was real? Hykem is nothing but a fraud that just wanted his time in the spotlight. If his exploit was real, 1. It would have been leaked long ago, 2. He would have shown video proof of it in action, 3. He would have posted quite a few updates about it. 4. These wii u scene hackers/devs would have already gotten those last 4 digits for the supposed exploit in question.

Isn't Hykem a respectable dev in many scenes? I know for a fact he's developed some Vita and PSP stuff, so why wouldn't he be legit? He may be a bit of an attention seeker but that's no reason to believe he's trying to fool everyone.

God gamn GBATEMP is the most active hack/console forum I have seen in a very long time... PS3HAX, ps3news died a long time ago....
No matter how much they deny it, gbatemp is like an alter version of 4chan.
It is an immortal undead being that keeps going forward fuelled by the flames of troll and the tears of the EOF.
In the other hand, I don't know how the moderator team is able to still keep its sanity (?)

Also, Elvis Presley is still alive, Paul McCartney was replaced by a double in 1996, the CIA created AIDS, the Middle Ages never existed and the Holocaust was a lie.

Don't forget the moon landing(s) never happened either, and there was a second gunman on the grassy knoll.

But more seriously, all we can really do is wait for more info to see if any of this is legit or not (obviously his twitter is gone, yes, but we know nothing more than that).

Hasn't he been documenting stuff for IOSU in another place? I don't recall the website.

Its true, all of it. :ninja:

But seriously, lets not worry for Hykem's safety. Nintendo isn't going to suddenly change its policy and chase these hackers all over the globe, they've got better things to spend money on (and Ninty's notoriously cheap).

I think there's a chance he may shelve the exploit though.
Worry about that instead I guess. :P

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I and Hayato warned him not to, but he won't listen
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa,
    I don't listen? What didn't I listen at? I just want to know all the possible risks on that part
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Hayato even said it's dangerous to backup the save files to CFW
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    how is this dangerous? A ton of people did this it's the most common thing to do with CFW
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Then do it

    dude, whatever

    @BigOnYa, Man, first of all thanks for your willing to help, much appreciated. But, it's not that I "don't want to listen", rather than I need soemone to EXPLAIN to me how and why all these are risky.

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    For example, HOW is is risky to get banned if you extract the save files to the CFW?
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    isn't this proccess be done while you're offline?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We are not Nintendo, so we don't know exactly how/why/when they ban, but better to stay on the safe side and not do shady stuff, if you don't want to be banned. Hayato is one of the most knowledgeable ones here on the subject and I believe what he says.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    300 bucks hmmm lol
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Yes ofc we don't know how Nintendo bans work, but if there are situations where a lot of people have tried safely then we can at least assume that this path is pretty much safe. To say don't try anything homebrew relative just to be safe forever is the easiest thing to say to someone. What I am trying to figure out here is with which cases and what actions got most of the people their bans for.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Most things I can find resulting to a ban is save-editing reasons, like Pokehex, etc, and going online afterwards.
