There are always dramas in the game, including in the real world. But what is done by a World Of Warcraft player is already outrageous, where he carried out DDos attack because he did not like his rivals in the Guild. As a result, he was sentenced to jail for carrying out a cyber attack that disrupted service in Europe.
The player is named Calin Mateias, where he has been accused of flooding Blizzard Entertainment's computer servers with traffic engineering between February and September 2010. He is said to have committed a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack to prevent players (including rivals) from entering into Server. As a result, thousands of players are caught in the disturbance caused by it.
So, what punishment that befell World Of Warcraft Player this?
Calin Mateias is a Romanian citizen (where he can also be known as one of the local hackers there). He was extradited a month ago to Los Angeles to face charges of allegations addressed to him. He in fact has pleaded guilty, while carrying out DDos attacks in February, and the most incriminating thing is one of the charges that caused the most significant damage on the server that resulted in huge losses.
In addition, Mateias is also required to pay a fine of $ 29,987 or about 410 million more to Blizzard to cover the costs spilled to try to ward off a flood of data. Prosecutors handling the case said the 30-year-old was motivated by "teenage desire" to defeat his rival.
"Mateias uses in-game avatars, often participating in collaborative events, such as raid dungeons where players join to meet goals in the game, get loot for upgraded gear material and are rewarded with virtual results or in-game gains," the Justice Department said in a press release.
"Then he was involved in a dispute with other players for various reasons, including the distribution of gear and membership in the guild." This is one of the reasons why he did so. Mateias himself uses ID online Dr. Mengele, a Nazi doctor who conducts deadly experiments on detainees. He also faces other allegations over his alleged role in attempting to hack and rob computer vendors based in Ingram Micro.
The prosecutor has sentenced Mateias to one year in prison for what he did to the World of Warcraft game. This is what can be a lesson for all of us, there is always drama in the game, and when it happens, you should let it still apply in the game. Because the outside world is a reality that we have to face really,
