Weird page over at the official website right now. Won't link because there are personal details involved. What does it all mean...?

Tweet tho

EDIT:

this is video games

double edit tldr: Polytron Corp website hacked, a ton of Phil's personally details leaked online. Hacked by whoever the hell. All so Phil won't destroy the gaming industry with his "feminist SJW tendencies."

 

[LiK]

yea, wow

 

[B33]

If that isn't sanctioned by Phil Fish, can you image the rage he'll be emanating when he finds out? I don't want to be on the Internet if that happens.

 

[hamchan]

Welp. 4chan being awful.

I like Phil Fish too. Hope he changes all his details quickly.

What sorta people get angry over game devs NOT being sexist, racist people wat

 

[BakkaGames]

I'm sure Phil won't be happy about it...

 

[Stimpack]

The internet continues to be disgusting.

 

[Flarin]

I don't always agree with Phi Fish, but holy shit is that fucked up.

 

[Tan]

I can't even muster up the energy to say anything more than ughhhh

 

[Soulflarz]

I don't always agree with Phi Fish, but holy shit is that fucked up.

.
Like i mainly know him as "that angry dev" BUT NO DEV DESERVES THIS

 

[VanWinkle]

Well that's a shame.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

 

[Wario64]

Phil Fish confirmed the site and twitter account got hacked

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Sessler has been going on about people hacking shit right in front of his eyes.

[ramoisdead]

No bueno.

 

[Storm Raider]

Wow, even their Paypal info is up.

What a disaster.

Edit: /v/ leader is obviously...

 

[Suikoguy]

How on earth do you obtain that much information?

I don't know how anyone can be that much of a vindictive asshole to compromise someone that much...

So sad

 

[ebullientprism]

Cant access it at work. Whats on it?

 

[fader]

Yo wtf!? IO just went to the site. Someone leaked out for download Phil Fish's and Polytron's information!?!? WTF is wrong with people?

 

[rpmurphy]

head mod over at /V/ and leader of 4chan.org and Anonymous.

lol nice try, Reddit.

 

[CorySchmitz]

Terrifying.

 

[blamite]

Incredibly shitty. I really hope nothing too terrible happens to Phil (or anyone else at Polytron) because of this.

 

[papercamm]

What the FUCK at that pastebin. If that is legit... Good lord.

 

[Dug]

Hello everyone, I am the head mod over at /V/ and leader of 4chan.org and Anonymous.

We are /V/
We do not forgive
At all

The way this is worded makes me wonder if this was from /v/ at all. Wouldn't be surprised if it was though.

 

[Riposte]

"/V/" haha, the hackers are totally trolling /v/.

 

[LiK]

Cant access it at work. Whats on it?

imagine all your personal info and passwords are revealed to the public

 

[Fotheringay]

Even /v/ mods were censoring the Quinn threads earlier, when doxxing was involved. Hope nobody is seriously affected by this, but it's no wonder they targeted Fish.

"/V/" haha, the hackers are totally trolling /v/.

Yeah this is right out of the "blame ebaumsworld" playbook.

 

[Hato-kun]

God this sucks, I actually think Phil is a cool dude and he really doesn't deserve this.

 

[Aquamarine]

Oh my god.

 

[Cat Party]

What kind of information was posted on the site?

 

[Qassim]

Wow. This is... extensive. Absolutely brutal. This will disrupt his life significantly.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Holy shit. This is horrible.

 

[RE_Player]

Note to self: Don't piss off the internet.

 

[kuYuri]

This is nuts.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Just checked the site, damn yo that's fucking harsh.

 

[rpmboy]

What kind of information was posted on the site?

Supposed* bank accounts, address, logins for alot of things

*May not be real, probably is though

 

[Soulflarz]

Also yeah, whats with that weird /v/ thing, its weird. Gonna guess it *wasnt* them?

 

[Deadbeat]

lol nice try, Reddit.

Some people will believe that post.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

seems like reddit to me

 

[Hatchtag]

Seems a bit fishy to me.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

What kind of information was posted on the site?

Think of every-single important piece of information you don't want people to know.

Now imagine all of that on a webpage for everyone to see.

Bank numbers, phone numbers, passwords, everything.

Damn this is depressing


The Internet is a scary place... Remember to find ways to always keep your personal info safe

That's why I keep all my passwords and information taped to the crevice of my desk!

 

[TheRealTalker]

Damn this is depressing


The Internet is a scary place... Remember to always keep your personal info safe

 

[Nome]

What'd he do to spur this?

 

[OverdriveOtaku]

Yikes... pure insanity.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Just checked the site, damn yo that's fucking harsh.

Same

 

[codswallop]

Damn, this shit is cold. Hope I never piss anyone off enough to warrant something like this. Too far, IMO.

By the looks of many of those passwords, they're using password managers (LastPass, 1Password, KeePass etc), but even then it's not enough. You really need a separate, standalone email address for the explicit purpose of password resets, and that password needs to be strong and not recorded anywhere.

I don't know if that's how the hack was done (e.g. by gaining access to one email address and then resetting passwords until access to everything they wanted was gained), but probably a good push for me to step up my personal paranoia and security even further.

 

[Persona7]

I ran the site through a URL scanner and it says it has malware.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What is doxxed? What happened to just saying hacked? or is there a difference?

 

[npa189]

What kind of information was posted on the site?

All of it. Jesus, never piss off the internet let alone 4chan.

 

[Breakdown Robot]

Absolutely disgusting behavior. I just can't even fathom why someone would pull something like this over a matter that is none of their damn business in the first place.

 

[Necromanti]

Let this be a warning to all SJW game devs out there, we are coming for you.
The hack of Zoe Quinn has already taken place as of a few days ago and I have targeted more SJW indie devs today.

We will not let you destroy our gaming industry with your feminist SJW tendencies.

Some people must really hate equality.
