Atlantic Penguin-on it's last leg


Here’s a large chain of events which lead up to Atlantic Penguin being hacked by PHPDevs, and the current status on Atlantic Penguin. This is going to be a little long, but it tells the whole story.
Flappi282 (or ZKid) originally co-created OpenCP, and released it to everyone. OpenCP is a source code for private servers. Several months later, Flappi released that he could be held legally liable for all OpenCP servers, since he is the one who made the code, so he went out on an anti-private server spree; making up fake rumors about him getting arrested to scare owners into shutting down their servers.
That was not proving that effective, so he just recently created an OpenCP exploit .swf file which you can simply put in the server’s IP address and port, and then you can login to any account. Flappi did this as an attempt to have users login to moderator’s accounts and cause chaos, ultimately ending all OpenCP servers.
This is where PHPDevs come in. Flappi then gave the exploit to a PHPDev member, who then gave it to the entire group. Atlantic Penguin was running on OpenCP, so they then used the exploit to log into moderator’s accounts. Once they were in moderator accounts, they went on mass banning sprees and showing pornography using the !swf command.
The destruction that they did to Atlantic Penguin will be quite difficult to reverse. They could not have done it at a worse time – because CheekyJay (Atlantic Penguin owner) is on vacation, and has limited internet activity to reverse what they have done.
Atlantic Penguin is now on it’s “last leg” and it would be very possible for the owners to just give him and close it.
CheekyJay was quoted on Skype saying this:
