Pokemon Go DDoS Attacks Postponed As PoodleCorp Botnet Suffers Security Breach (softpedia.com) 97
An anonymous reader writes from a report via Softpedia: "The hacking crew [PoodleCorp] that promised to launch DDoS attacks on the Pokemon GO servers on August 1 suffered a major setback, after someone hacked their site, dumped the database, and shared it with data breach index service LeakedSource," reports Softpedia. "PoodleCorp responded to LeakedSource's announcement with what they knew best, a DDoS attack." When that happened, LeakedSource started looking at the leaked data and discovered full names for three of PoodleCorp's members, saying they intend to share it with authorities. Soon after, PoodleCorp stopped the DDoS against LeakedSource and went to annoy Blizzard gamers. "It's a terrible idea to attack a business that knows something about virtually everybody," a LeakedSource spokesperson said.

I couldn't give a flying fuck about Pokemon Go, but these kinds of "hackers" really are worthless pieces of scum. I hope the lot of them end up being cornholed in prison endlessly, until they suffer incurable anal incontinence.

You should get modded up for that. No one has more accurately summarized the average Slashdot reader in one sentence before.

do you have Pokemon Go on your tablet? I'm told there's lots of rare pokemons in rehab centers.

Yup, most psychic pokemon seem to show up at rehab or hospitals or water areas. I have an inpatient rehab clinic across the street from where I live, Abras and Alakazams everywhere there according to my fiance when he walks the perimeter.
Also, the speed limit is NOT 10MPH for egg hatching. Don't go above 20MPH (a hard flat-out run) and you're golden. I've hatched a bunch of pokemon for my fiance just by driving to my local mine using side streets.

Oh yeah? I logged in to this Go stuff weeks ago using the official Pokemon login stuff. I have never been able to log in again. I'm not kidding, I have tried a handful of times over the last few weeks and it always says something about login failed or whatever bullshit to cover the fact that their servers are shit. Not that I would play this bullshit "game" in the first place but fucking hell, they can't even tempt me because their infrastructure sucks balls!

A cheat for pokemon GO is easier than you think. Just give the game wrong gps coordinates! You can then be anywhere on earth without having to move. "Catch them all" while sitting in your basement. . .
At least android is open source, so the code that handles gps data is open source and is trivial to change.

You know, these sorts of men (and they are always men) are young nerdy men who have been totally fucked over by society. With every breath, with every word, including your comment, society rejects them harshly. And they know it. Boy, do they get the message loud and clear. It's blatantly clear that they are worthless and might as well commit suicide.
Ya think that might have something to do with the way they turned out? If society hates you, you might as well hate back, right? I mean, it's the argumen

Wait, what??? If only "young nerdy men" had some sort of positive role models... examples of success by other young nerdy men in society... If only "nerd" could carry a more positive connotation than it has in the past... Are we back in the 90's?

Executing a DDoS has little to do with knowing anything about security. They're not exactly breaking the lock on the door, what they basically do is dump a huge pile of trash in front of it so nobody can use it anymore, that doesn't mean they know anything about opening that door.

I hope they are still going to share the info with the relevant authorities.
