"Die US-Army hat offensichtlich Probleme mit Hackern und Cheatern, die ihr offizielles Werbe- und Rekrutierungsspiel Americas Army sabotieren.", ist auf heise.de zu lesen (http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/55071). "Americas Army" ist ein Multiplayer-Shooterspiel im Stil von Counterstrike, bei dem man allerdings nur die "Good Guys" der Army gegen die bösen Terroristen ins Feld führt. Das ganze gibt's kostenlos mit viel beigepackter Heimatliebe. Wie bei jedem halbwegs erfolgreichen Onlinespiel gibt's natürlich Leute, die sich durch Cheats unfaire Vorteile verschaffen. Diese Probleme schreien im Fall von "Americas Army" nach einer Behandlung, wie sie der US Army würdig ist:
Der Executive Producer des Spieles Phil DeLuca schrieb folgendes ins offizielle Forum:
(...) Tampering with software and servers owned or used by the Army is cyber crime.
In the early 1940's, Japan learned an important lesson - "let the sleeping giant lie." We may not react swiftly, but when we do it's with unstoppable force. The Army has partners that deal with cyber crime as a matter of course. These include not just various Army IT departments, but also the Department of Justice, the Secret Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
It's going to get uncomfortable for some of the bad guys, but you know what? They brought it on themselves. Knowing this anyone who continues to be bad is just plain foolish. Keep trying, though. Sooner or later the bad guy will realize we've known about him for a while... and by then it's too late.
Allow me to speak directly to the bad guys for a moment: When you get banned, know that we know and have records showing you were doing something that's a violation of terms of service, breaks your EULA, and also happens to be against the law. We know who you are, and can track down where you play from. We have incontrovertible proof you did something illegal. The Army is angry, and we're coming for you.
Na wenn das die "bad guys" nicht zur Vernunft bringt. Die Japsen haben in Hiroshima und Nagasaki schließlich auch gelernt, dass es unklug ist, sich mit der US Army anzulegen.
