Play AoC or AO? You're vulnerable!

[Dragonfly]

So I saw this posted on my clan's website: http://securityevaluators.com//content/anarchyonline.jsp

Apparently playing AO or AoC can get your computador hacked.

Well, you will see that this isn't the case anymore if you read the WHOLE article.

Updates

9/24/08 - Anarchy Online was patched today, resolving a minor issue that we discovered since originally writing this page. Additionally, the buffer overflow vulnerability in Age of Conan was fixed sometime earlier this month.

8/28/08 - Funcom released patches for both games today. Both vulnerabilities were fixed in Anarchy Online. In Age of Conan, the directory traversal vulnerability has been fixed, but the buffer overflow remains. We do not believe that the buffer overflow alone currently poses a serious risk to players, but we recommend that Funcom fix it promptly so it cannot be used in any future hybrid attacks. In the meantime, we suggest that players exercise caution when downloading custom game scripts from third parties.

It was only if your an idiot and click on the scripts or whatever people post in chat. People used to prank by making ones that made your screen go black or turn your sound off and so on.

Hey programmers,
if you're looking for work, try Norway. Apparently you guys don't exist over there.

You'd be popular, rich, and I hear the women are hawt.

Going on the internet at all can get your computer hacked.

Depends how much of a dirty noob you are :sly:

Funcom, the makers of both of these exceptional games have been contacted regarding these vulnerabilities.

Fuck this article.
