Ranked Server Breach

[arn354]

It has been brought to our attention that there are hacked ranked servers running which allow the artificial increase of player scores. We are working with all parties involved to shut these servers down, prevent further use of the ranked servers for padding purposes and resetting those player accounts which have been found to be stat padding.

Please be vigilant when connecting to a server for unusual behaviour including extremely short round times and excessively high scores by others on the server. If you suspect the server is being used for padding purposes please disconnect and report the server IP address to EA Customer Support at http://support.ea.com.

Wow - someone finally woke up... not that i am telling that for months...

Some GSPs have very low security and EA is finally going after them!

Some GSPs have no security and EA ...

thats fits more - there are companies offering ranked servers on dedicated serverboxes with full remotedesktopaccess and full local admin rights.

Well, i hope EA will solve this asap!

Lets hope so ... checked the leaderboards and saw a lot of hackers removed , but still some 200-300 players with manipulated stats remaining ... including Huellia ;(

It is always our commitment to work to prevent cheating and stat padding as part of an ongoing process. After the problems brought to light recently we have been working with the Ranked Server Providers to bring the stat padding to an end as well as dealing with those who have been using the exploit to boost their scores. Since the problem was detected, we have reset over 700 accounts of players found to be padding and will continue to do so whilst we secure the ranking system from future attacks. Please report any servers or players you suspect of cheating and/or padding to EA Customer Support through the website at http://support.ea.com.
