Chrisjh0223 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Have you ever seen this show on CBS? It's good and helps give insight into how criminals cause mischief on computers and the Internet. Lately on some RenX servers we have encountered DDoS incidents; if that CSI Cyber team from the show existed in real life they could very well crack down on these vandals. Hey RenX server owners, check out these sites: https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/cyber http://www.justice.gov/criminal-ccips/r ... erty-crime It would be best if a server owner reported a DDoS incident, to give as much accurate information as possible. Has anybody considered consulting authorities about these DDoS encounters? Because I really believe that Cyber Crime investigators in real life can track down the perpetrator(s) in question; maybe not as powerful as the show but still efficient. In the show, CSI Cyber is the best at what it does. In reality the FBI is still a force to be reckoned with, it's not if they succeed but a matter of when. If the DDoSed servers are in America then I'm sure the FBI will want to help out. If the servers are in other countries there's still a chance you might get their help, especially if the perpetrator is in America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henk Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Doesn't the EU have something similar (but not as good as the US)? I think at least The Netherlands do if I recall correctly, and that's where Skeeze lives, maybe he can take it to the police? But I'm afraid they only care if it's big, like universities, large companies, banks etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryz Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I doubt a governement would invest thousands of euros to help a game with a small playerbase like Ren-X. Money nor the amount of players should matter in a criminal investigation, but still... Would also be a publicity stunt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisjh0223 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 I don't know, you could be surprised if authorities crack down on the perpetrator. It all starts with a small thing, and then the perpetrator likely gets a high off of the one minor thing and then goes to much higher levels of the offense. So while he's just sabotaging RenX servers right now he might proceed to sabotaging YouTube, Amazon.com or whatever. And these people will probably do even worse crimes at some point such as planting Ransomware on a website or server. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if he put a ransomware Trojan or Remote Access Tool on a server to hack us all (is that possible to do to RenX players?) So I'd say it's worth at least speaking to a person in authority who knows what to do in this scenario, because these cyber criminals will only grow worse if they remain undetected. It's a Publicity Stunt if set up by it's own team, not really if the impact is from an unaffiliated entity. But yeah, if this makes the news headlines or whatever then RenX will garner plenty of attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryz Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Hmm just checked how this works in the Netherlands and apparently they encourage you to fill a complaint at the police while they say that they cant do much on the other hand...
