South Korea Hack All About the Games
I didn't get too excited about reports earlier this week that Microsoft's MSN network in South Korea had been hacked, thanks to a failure to install security vulnerability patches. See this AP report in WIRED (MSN Snared in Korean Booby-Trap). However, today C|Net News reports that the criminals were attempting to get the logins for Lineage, the wildly popular MMORPG (MSN Korea Hack Targeted Online Gamers). Lineage is a cultural phenomenon in South Korea. It would be interesting to learn what the criminals would have been done had they been successful. I imagine that the hackers would attempt to sell character equipment on the thriving market for virtual goods, but who knows. Fascinating.
