GAAAH!

The black hats are called "CRACKERS" not "HACKERS"

This messge brought to you by your friendly legal hacker.

Glad I'm not a Square Enix member.  The increased cracker activity makes me want to upgrade my encryption to AES 512.  Brrr.

Interesting that they did not want to hack the European accounts. One of two things... Either there aren't much accounts to aquire from Europe or the hackers themselves are from Europe. Either way, it seems a bit odd. Anyhow, I was really looking forward to that November 5th promise... What a massive let down.
