Financial crisis hits EVE Online
Jul 03, 2009 - 10:43 AM
Quote:
 TORONTO, July 2 (Reuters Life!) - Facing real world debts, a trusted figure in a popular online game stole money from the virtual bank he ran and exchanged it for cash through the black market...
EBank, EVE's largest player-run financial institution which has thousands of depositors, is at the center of the scandal.
"Basically this character was one of the people that been running EBank for a while. He took a bunch of (virtual) money out of the bank, and traded it away for real money," said Ned Coker, of the Icelandic company CCP, which developed the game.
The CEO of EBank, a 27-year-old Australian tech worker who identified himself only as Richard and used the online name Ricdic, embezzled about 200 billion interstellar kredits, the game's virtual currency.
He broke the rules of the game by exchanging the stolen virtual funds for $6,300 Australian ($5,100) with players who preferred to buy virtual money rather than earn it playing the game.

Reuters Source.
If there was a trustworthy person in EVE, Ricdic was it and now, that trust betrayed E-Bank has suffered hard with no big govt to bail them out.
This was just the first though, D-Bank, the second Eve bank had internal strife a week later and a disgruntled 'employee' leaked the d-bank database containing hundreds of player email addresses and minor personal details.
even in OTI its shit to be a bank right now.
oh and this turned up on Reuters. Internet gaming srs bsnss.

Saudi Arabia to fence itself in
Jul 03, 2009 - 10:26 AM
Quote:
 Saudi Arabia has signed a deal with a major European defence contractor to build a hi-tech security system including a fence around the whole of its 9,000 kilometre border.
The country has been wanting to build a strong border security system for some time.
Its two main concerns are its neighbours Iraq and Yemen, and the instability and lawlessness of these two countries have raised fears in Saudi Arabia that their problems will overflow the border.
Specifically, the Saudis are worried about weapons and drug smuggling.
The cost of the contract has not been officially disclosed, but a French magazine said it is worth about $3 billion.

Thanks Emperor Nasi Goreng.

A Dallas security guard charged with hacking the computer system of the hospital he worked for was busted by a fellow hacker, but didn’t help his case when he posted videos of his exploits on YouTube. Jesse McGraw, known by the hacker name GhostExodus, posted videos to YouTube in which he claimed to be breaking into a major corporate building, and as the “Mission: Impossible” theme played in the background, he was shown installing malware on several computers. In actuality, McGraw was in the hospital he worked at.
“He’s a security guard at the hospital, but he’s pretending to infiltrate a corporate office and he’s running around with a hoodie on over his security guard uniform and installing botnet software on a hospital computer all to the Mission Impossible music,” said security researcher Wesley McGrew. “[You] can’t make this stuff up.”

Included is an expansive world, unique combat, shockingly realistic visuals, tons of player choice, and an incredible cast of dynamic characters. Every minute is a fight for survival against the terrors of the outside world — radiation, Super Mutants, and hostile mutated creatures. From Vault-Tec, America's First Choice in Post Nuclear Simulation.

Steam
Steam are being nice again, now they are selling Fallout3 at 1/2 price.
If you haven't got it, get it! Probably the best game of last year, now so cheap you'd be a fool not to get a legal copy!
Especially now that we can all look forward to the 'Meet the alien' DLC!
