"Experience as a L337 hacker"

[YouDontKnowMe]

Warden is a piece of shit. Good to see they're getting their shit together. Hmm I live in Irvine, could apply for this job... tempting tempting.

Please do. I watch my replays and at least 1/20 games has an obvious map-hacker. Like in the replay you can see him staring at my base which he hadn't even scouted yet "through" the fog of war, and then magically builds the perfect counter to my army. LOL

On the battle net forums, there have been like thousands of people complaining about cheating and hacking for so long. About time they hire someone new. (Maybe they fired the old guy? haha).

True. Most of the competent ones have got more sense than to go making such a big fuss.

They'll definitely get raped when the FBI catches up with them.

These guys at the top of the game as far as hackers go will not get caught by FBI, way to smart and secretive about that......Shit ask me where i get my data and ill tell you to go f#$k yourself.....

What Lulzsec did do was create a opportunity for programmers to keep these giant databases safe. so they basically created jobs for guys with skill sets exactly here like us.....or some of us.

In the next year alot of budget will be spent to data security.....so instead of working form a nasty couch with potato chips on your sleeve, you'll have to put on some sort of suit and tie and get paid alot of money to do the exact opposite of what you know.

Yeah, but how many of these people will have:


Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or equivalent​

I fucking hate it when a company asks for a degree as a minimum requirement. I know it makes the potential employees seem more of a safe bet but most real skills are learnt outwith education (especially in the tech industry)

It's simply a way for them to weed out applicants. Because otherwise you'd have tens of thousands of gaming geeks (who "think" they know how to hack) crawling out of their holes spamming Blizzard with their "hire me! hire me!" applications and Blizz would have no idea which of them were actually legit.

Once they have it narrowed down to people with degrees in CS/IT, they can weed out the ones with really shitty GPA's (cuz if you have a 1.x or 2.x average in undergrad level CS classes you probably will suck at any programming/coding related job), and they can interview the ones still left standing to figure out which ones are the true "gosu" hackers.

Unfortunately it's possible that the best guy for the job doesn't have a degree in CS, EE, or IT, but it's probably not worth the money or time shuffling through like 50k applications to find him (from Blizzard's perspective).

They got lucky because big corporations are run by idiots who don't know what security is. Lulzsec would never have been relevant if it wasn't for the fact that Sony didn't implement basic SQL injection protection (mysql_real_escape_string would've prevented this whole thing from happening).

Naw, You should of called them stupid for not encrypting there database passwords I mean how hard is it for a multi-billion dollar company to pay someone to wrap the password variable with md5() - Assuming they ran php of course.

But I agree to the point that Sony got owned because there complete fucking idiots when it comes to security, fuck they didn't even have security, hopefully after all of this they get there heads on straight and pay someone to write six characters of text in order to better secure there systems.
