We have been doing this since 2003 and ever since that time we strived to be the best and most effective system out there. We today we are forced with the unthinkable.
On Sept 12, 2008 a modified server streamed fake ban data that was added to the MBI, we have removed the bans in question and the server but the fact is this method tampers with the stream at the server level so no streaming system is safe now. The hackers know it can be done and I'm sure this was only the beginning. This info was posted publicly by Anti-Cheat Inc and i'm sure hackers saw that and finally made their move.
No amount of screening can detect this and if hackers want to ban innocent players they can do so at will by streaming ANY modified server.
We are faced with two choices either stay online with the possibility of hackers streaming fake bans that we cannot verify or we close our doors completely. It's a lose - lose situation and it's a very sad day for the anti-cheat community.
You are the supporters of PBBans and you have gotten us to this point. We feel you have the right to know and give input about this.
