[IceVirus]

Ok, after reading a lot of postings about TEAMGOD and their server crashings (cheating will not be mention in here since it is not a crime but just pure boredom and is for losers), I have talked to a friend who works for a major ISP in VA. He is responsible for tracking down illegal ftp(s) and report them to the FBI Cyber Crimes Division. I also like to say that I dont like or dislike the TEAMGOD member(s)/affiliate(s). This is just purely info I got. Here is our conversation for those that care.

================================================== ===

ME (12:59:05 AM): hey got a quick question for you...might has something to do with cyber crime but not sure
FRIEND (12:59:27 AM): ok
ME (12:59:28 AM): perhaps you can ask your agent friend that works there
ME (1:00:05 AM): ok...say if there are like 100 gaming servers running...they are public servers....group A decides to go on and crash them
ME (1:00:16 AM): would that consider a crime?
FRIEND (1:00:29 AM): how did they crash them
ME (1:01:00 AM): they join the game and crash the server...has something to do with server side hacking
FRIEND (1:01:13 AM): hacking is the key word
FRIEND (1:01:18 AM): yes, it's illegal
ME (1:01:51 AM): ok...if hacking wasnt use..then is it illegal to crash servers?
FRIEND (1:02:11 AM): sure it is
ME (1:02:28 AM): like spawning objects...the community has request numerous times for them to stop..but of no use
FRIEND (1:02:58 AM): can't block them
FRIEND (1:03:02 AM): ?
ME (1:03:15 AM): sure they can...but they can always change ip
FRIEND (1:03:42 AM): block there subnet
ME (1:04:06 AM): yes...but if they use proxies...u cant really
ME (1:04:24 AM): since real IPs werent reveal

ME (1:11:02 AM): that makes any sense to you?
FRIEND (1:11:14 AM): one sec
FRIEND (1:12:32 AM): The problem you will have is, if you complain to one ISP all the other team members who may not use the same ISP will get you back
FRIEND (1:12:50 AM): When they join, do they always use the same screen names
ME (1:12:53 AM): oh..its not me that complaining
ME (1:13:25 AM): no..before they crash the server they always leave their statement
FRIEND (1:13:26 AM): When I said "you:" I meant the game server
FRIEND (1:13:39 AM): what do they say
ME (1:13:49 AM): TeamGod Owned you or something like that
ME (1:13:57 AM): then servers die
FRIEND (1:14:58 AM): Capture some packets and see what you get
FRIEND (1:15:13 AM): Need a BIG HDD though
FRIEND (1:15:18 AM): for a game server
FRIEND (1:15:34 AM): But, yes it's illegal
FRIEND (1:15:50 AM): Notify the fbi cyber crimes division
FRIEND (1:15:56 AM): I can get you a number if you want
ME (1:15:56 AM): like say if you go to a website and crash it or shut it down..that is illegal right? I meant crashing game servers is the same thing
FRIEND (1:16:18 AM): One sec
FRIEND (1:22:03 AM): (i) knowingly causes the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally causes damage without authorization, to a protected computer;
ME (1:23:03 AM): ahh...so the community can contact the fbi cyber crimes division?
FRIEND (1:23:10 AM): yeap
FRIEND (1:23:19 AM): trying to get you an email addy right now
ME (1:23:25 AM): you think they will do anything?
FRIEND (1:23:42 AM): They have to
ME (1:23:43 AM): i meant the FBI...will they step in...or this is too minor for them?
FRIEND (1:24:10 AM): They have to investiget everything
FRIEND (1:25:50 AM): http://www.cybercrime.gov/reporting.htm
ME (1:25:56 AM): yea if you dont mind getting me the email and # to the cyber crimes division...i'll post our conversation in the community forum...
FRIEND (1:26:09 AM): ok
FRIEND (1:32:01 AM): I'll ask our investigator for a good contact. He knows tons of people in the FBI Cyber Crimes Div.
ME (1:32:17 AM): ok..thanks

ME (1:33:13 AM): or webhost provider
FRIEND (1:33:15 AM): No, only the the web site
FRIEND (1:33:20 AM): yeap
FRIEND (1:33:40 AM): Do they always come from the same proxy?
ME (1:33:52 AM): prolly not
FRIEND (1:34:24 AM): When the game server crashes, does the whole pc crash?
ME (1:35:15 AM): not sure...but when my server was up at your work...it didnt...i was just very frustrated
FRIEND (1:35:58 AM): Install Sygate Firewall and log the connections. That way you can tell what IP was logged in at the time
FRIEND (1:36:05 AM): or something like that
FRIEND (1:36:18 AM): need something for an investigation
FRIEND (1:36:31 AM): Traffic monitor is also good
ME (1:36:43 AM): yea..the community has screenshot of the Teamgod members
ME (1:36:53 AM): and their IPs as well
FRIEND (1:37:00 AM): Real IP's?
ME (1:37:09 AM): some are...some are proxies
FRIEND (1:37:35 AM): Shit, I would start with abuse@"their ISP"
ME (1:37:46 AM): they even say it in their forums...just give them server IP and they will crash it
FRIEND (1:38:11 AM): pimply faced nerds
FRIEND (1:38:20 AM): need a good woman to straighten them out
ME (1:38:27 AM): so that is intentionally or knowingly will commit a cyber crime
FRIEND (1:38:38 AM): yeap

Thanks for posting that where everyone can see =)

Big "I told you so" goes out to all the people who doubted.

Hasn't this been what I've been saying all along? And I quote:[quote:aafc4](i) knowingly causes the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally causes damage without authorization, to a protected computer; [/quote:aafc4]Been trying to warn all of those idiots since day one. Well, ok, since Powell was givin' me crap. You keep things up, eventually you're not just going to get "OWNED," you're going to get jail time. And I'm not even talking about 6 months in the state farm. I'm talking long hard labor in the Fed. Pen. That's where the big boys go, and they love fresh, and still wet behind the ear, meat.

[Cool Fool]

nice IceVirus.

[Jasper]

Whoa!

Maybe the guys making the petitions as well as the rest of the community should be using that email addy "Friend" provided. And not just "TEAMGOD SUX0RS! PLZ ARREST!" but with well thought out statements on what they are doing and how the are affecting the gaming community AS A WHOLE and not just MOH.

[Airborne Butters]

Yikes you guys are going all out on these guys!

[MPowell1944]

well Butters, if you take a look on their site, you can see why Noctis and everyone else are so hard to push this. i for 1 back in 100%.

[Bazooka_Joe]

Sorry Ice, but I had to edit the site's URL/IP address, they can both be looked up. You brought up an excellent point though, thanks for the help.

[Wilko]

I don't play MOHAA online, due to my WICKED SICK 56k connection, but i can see how much a pain in the ass it must be to put up with these dickheads randomly coming in and ruining your game for no other reason than to make themselves feel better after a hard day being beaten up by the big kids at school for their lunch-money.

And Broadcasting it on a website? Jesus Christ, they should be locked up for criminal bloody stupidity!

Go get 'em, boys!

I hope |GOD|Joey gets a nice cramped cell with a transgender sadist necrophile named Boris/Loretta. He'll know the meaning of "owned" pretty quick.
