After the attack 42 hours ago where the attackers sent
Zipper5 an email with a link to a website which seemed (at first) to sent out random ASCII files to people who submitted their email address the PBHB group today took a next step.
But, lets first have a look at the ASCII files, all versions which were sent combined created an image of what seems to be a ball hitting a wall which in its turn crumbles:
The community is divided about what this could mean, maybe there will be an improved physics engine? Maybe those hackers are just toying with us! Time will tell.
Today the PBHB group decided it was time for more direct steps and registered an account on the BI forums under the name of
[~P8H8~]r3dp3ga5u5 and with this account they have been spamming different links in random topics which lead to a few different zip files. Some of those files are passworded, some contain text files where others seem to be images.
Whats in those files? What do they mean? What will be revealed once the community cracks this next code? Curious?
Make sure to leave your thoughts and follow the development of the continued digital attack by the PBHB Hacker Group in
this topic on the BI forums.
There must be more behind all this and we are following the discussion and news on the matter closely.

ps if get ban for this post i will understand but this site is just as bad by posting stuff and making fan upset
I don't understand why people are getting all bent out of shape over this, you'll find out just as soon as the rest of us. If it bothers you so much, why not simply scroll the mouse wheel down just a little? I personally think it's clever, I find myself coming back to the topic. If you guys doubt BIS why follow it anyway, or better yet why care? Some of us enjoy it

A .gif on the front page should be a punishable offense.. just saying, that this is some goofy geocities BS right there.
Fire your marketing dept BIS.. use those resources to expand the hardware for your QA dept instead.
Ok, I had enough of you all.
