Apparently, a group called Pegglecrew just hijacked the subreddit /r/3dshacks . Image attached of what it looks like right now. Don't really have anything to say, other than it's SUPER annoying.

EDIT: Screwed up the whole English thing. Thoughts got jumbled.
EDIT 2: Looks like Pegglecrew hijacks subreddits fairly frequently. Hopefully nothing permanent is done (I don't know if it could be or not). We'll see.

Went on and saw it. Thought it was a joke but its silly that they would pick a least popular one to get noticed over thousands of other subreddits.

What's a Pegglecrew? And why is this funny to them?
Lizard wannabe fangays. Nothing to worry about, they think they hit gold that the subreddit was hit, when they just want admin attention. Pretty sure reddit has a cached copy we can restore.

They're like a Lizard Squad or something. Don't ask me why it's funny to them, they're obviously sociopaths. Or something. IDK.

Time to clean house, some mod is compromised.

From reading through the twitter feed, it looks like previous hacks were done by compromising a mod and injecting CSS to the subreddit. As I suspected, it was done via a script (which by extension makes them script kiddies.) My bet is a mod used a crap password. People don't realize how fast a dictionary attack is when your password is one word.

It's back to normal now, but what I want to know is what exactly did they insert into the page and do we need to be worried about possible driveby exploits?
If anything this can only affect serverside rather than reader side. Reddit will always have a cached copy but it wont change the fact that unless they find out who's compromised, it wont stop.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, I have a rom of the ds version of impossible mission
