omg. these guys are the lowest scum on the planet. gcw forum posted official statement about the attack from ch:

Quote:


ATTN: The forum is being hacked by CheatHappens!
CheatHappens people (or fans?) are currently hacking the board - as it looks, by finding out other forum members' passwords or logging in in their names via other means - and posting their trainer advertisements - and later plain crap - into this forum simply for abusement against the forum, h4x0r and me, not to help anyone. Please, stay away from those threads, otherwise you may fall victim to the ban stick. Also, make sure you have a secure password that is hard to guess by hand or by software (dictionary attack or whatever). If your account was hacked and has been banned without reason, please, have patience and we'll try to re-establish your account later when CheatHappens is finished (literally) on this forum.

We have also been threatened - in PM - by someone from CheatHappens with intentional sabotage by uploading fake/broken trainers to GCW. This is now way beyond what could be attributed to acceptable frustration due to our impartiality in their war against h4x0r - who, by the way, never came up with such serious measures against our forum - and this is the point where CheatHappens and everyone related to it lost all of my sympathy. They and their fans will be dealt with accordingly later. Also, stay tuned for our results in the "h4x0r uses weird DLL's in his trainers against those of CheatHappens" topic which will be published within a few days (really!).

[...] We have just been threatened with attempts to break into moderator accounts, too. Without the necessary privileges, I cannot do anything more than continuing to permban hacked accounts but, hopefully, Empire will come here as soon as possible! Unbelievable: such a situation or anything even remotely similar to it has never occurred in the history of the forum.

[...] Empire intervened and the board software has been upgraded. (That was the reason for the short maintenance.) Hopefully, this puts and end to the hacked accounts.

[...] Fake trainers have just been uploaded (but not published on GCW!) so measures will be taken to distinguish them from real ones.

I understand that Cheathappens crew or what to call them are against H4x0r and Kelsat as they supposedly (From what CH says.) takes their trainers and redo them though I find this a bit difficult to believe (No idea how, CH uses some protection on their trainers as well.), same with that their trainers should contain trojan scripts although I have no idea what's in them.

Bit of a strange method and it doesn't really lead anywhere aside from bad publicity or what to call it either.
(Wonder what the reasons could be behind this?)

Far as I know though CH never uploads their trainers to GCW as that's done by others.
(From what I can see though.)

i think it all started with ch accusing h4x0r of stealing several options from their napoleon tw trainer. it's also heating up on forum where h4x0r posts his trainers, sicheats.com. ch guys are stealing/hijacking people's account and posting anti-h4x0r posts on his home forum:

 Spoiler:
 


these ch guys are a nasty bunch.

see what happens when people start charging for trainers? greed takes over and you get these ego wars. Wink

I wanted to show you first hand how it feels when it's your shit that's being hacked and ripped and you're absolutely helpless to do anything about it. That's exactly how myself and others feel every time someone like h4x0r rips our shit and then we see you over here giving people technical support for his ripped trainers. It's appalling.

So, I'm going to leave you be. I won't be hacking into any more accounts or posting any more messages as I feel like you got the point. I will however be monitoring the status of h4x0r and his ripped trainers and how you and this site continue to support them.

PS: The sticky regarding CheatHappens. While it's nice to have someone so easily take the fall for me, you are indeed barking up the wrong tree. I am not a member of CheatHappens, but I am someone who has also been victimized by h4x0r's thieving ways, so I can now sympathize. I'll let you draw your own conclusions about who I may or may not be. Seeing as how the list of people that h4x0r has wronged seems to be growing with every new trainer release, you have quite the pool of people to pick from.


if i were gcw, i would contact the better business bureau and have the ch website taken down/to court. what ch did was break the law by hacking gcw. they are a company and all companies have to follow business conduct. hacking into another web site is not good business conduct.

Going to have to agree. I especially hate ring tones (and hate hearing the truly stupid ones when I go out).

I just know some kid stole his mom's credit card to buy a fucking trainer. Laughing at this ridiculous drama, though.

it turns out ch is stealing kelsat's and h4x0r's trainer code and blaming them so that they can sell their trainers to unsuspecting people. ch is using deceptive methods (ddos attacks, stealing forum accounts, making up lies about other trainer makers, etc.) on multiple forums to threaten their free trainer competitor out of the scene.

if you have an account with ch, i would ask for my money back. i would not want to hand my money over to a company that's this devious and greedy to the point where they go and hack other people's forum. ch even sabotaged other people's trainer then upload them to gcw. just to make it appear as trainers from other authors are bad.

anyway, here's another post from gcw admins about what ch is doing and uncovering ch's lies and deceit.

ch makes me so angry Evil or Very Mad they're a pretty sad excuse for a company.

2010-03-15 ~09 PM UTC h4x0r just reported that www.sicheats.com is currently under a DDoS attack. I can't log in either; it says the server is busy. (And he's been accused of preparing a botnet attack against CheatHappens, right?) [...] Correction: I can log in but not even the list of forums appears because "the server is too busy".

2010-03-16 ~01 PM UTC Another PM... CheatHappens is sinking more and more into their spiral of lies - not understanding that the only way is down - and are obviously trying to hold onto the only detail they can possibly hold into: that a copyrighted work of theirs has been published on our site. (Sure, it was: it's part of the "backfired" proof for everyone to see.)

ch got too greedy tbh, they managed to carve out a little niche for themselves by getting people to pay for trainers, but in the process pissed off a lot of people by doing so.

And from what i understand when certain people stood up to their tactics by giving the same options in a trainer for free then they started all the crap.

I really don't know whos telling the truth and whos lying, but Joe Forster certainly has been forthcoming with his findings, and i tend to side with what he's found out and published.

This is all about greed and trying to control a market that's been around longer than ch has, tbh no one in their right mind should pay for a trainer, but yeah you see it on their forums, 0day Game people asking for a trainer, so i guess there is a market for it..

I for one would rather use BreWers trainers or independent authors, or make my own than use either of ch or haXor, cause that fight could end up doing some really nasty shit.

I would love to see the big scene groups resurrect their own dox coders again, could pretty much always guarantee their shit was fine and without issues.

EDIT: The one thing i do really detest is the ch tactic of their trainers calling home and verifying the customer is legit... pretty shit tbh but thats a personal view.
