2002 Ragnarok Korean Hack by Gravity employee

NeoJB: Ragnarok Korean Hack by Gravity employee

The '''2002 Ragnarok Korean Hack by Gravity employee''' was a hacking incident which occurred during 2002 Korean beta test, which was done by a former Gravity employee.

=== Background ===

A former Gravity employee planted a hacking program on the server using a password he learned while working at the company. After leaving the company, he secretly manipulated the database to generate money and items and sold them for cash, making unfair profits of approximately 25 million won (~US$ 40,000). He was arrested and detained by the cyber investigation team after he left the company.

'''English Translation of official announcement'''
Hello, This is Hak-gyu Kim. We would like to report to our users about the current transaction hacking incident involving a former Gravity employee, which first became known through some media reports . To briefly explain the circumstances of the incident, Mr. Ahn, who joined the company in November of last year and worked as an operations team leader before leaving in February of this year , planted a separate hacking program on the server using a password he learned while working at the company. After leaving the company, he secretly manipulated the database to generate money and items and sold them for cash, making unfair profits of approximately 25 million won. He was arrested and detained by the cyber investigation team after he left the company . Although this incident was caused by the malicious actions of a former employee, we acknowledge that there is a fundamental problem with the company that exposed the loophole for the culprit to carry out such actions. We offer our deepest apologies to the majority of good users . In the meantime, we have spent a lot of time and effort trying to identify the problem in various ways by conducting three copy method reporting campaigns to catch the copying problem , which resulted in the 2nd update being significantly delayed and the copying method not existing. This caused great confusion in the work of the server development team and operation team, and the tangible and intangible damage suffered by the company as a result was indescribable. However, we consider it a blessing in disguise that we learned of this problem before launching the official commercial service , and we will deeply take into account the lessons learned from this incident and significantly strengthen internal and external security of the company to prevent this from happening again in the future. Currently, we know that there is no way for users to intentionally copy other than some data imbalances ( increasing or decreasing items or money) when a backup occurs due to a server program crashing due to an error. And even if the copy is intentional, we are prepared to solve the problem using the serial number tracking system and log tracking system that have been applied starting from this Sacrai server. Originally , it would have been our duty to inform users in advance about what we learned about this incident and ask for their forgiveness, but the police investigation is in progress, and we will reveal whether a second co-conspirator exists within the company and provide additional security and security measures to the current server. Please understand that we are informing users belatedly as it takes a considerable amount of time to conduct the search . If any user discovers a duplicate, please be sure to report it to the Gravity operation team. We would also like to thank the Cyber Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency , which spared no effort in investigating this case and apprehending the culprit . Lastly, I will end this post by saying I am sorry once again to all the users. thank you hakgyu neolith <ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20020602160239/http://www.ragnarokonline.com/boardstory/board_view_top.asp?number=218&bbs=communi_Top&cpage=1&fnum=0&searchkey=&searchtext=</ref>

June 20, 2003 Ragnarok US Hack

NeoJB: Added Reference

The '''June 20, 2003 Ragnarok US Hack''' was a hack which occurred on June 20, 2003 in California, in the United States on the iRO Ragnarok Server.

=== Background ===
On June 20, 2003, several users had created in-game items, presumably a lot of them, using Game Master accounts, which led to Gravity Interactive (US) which had been formed in January of the same year, to revert the data back 2 days to data from 18 June 2003. At the time, Gravity did not explain the reason for the rollback, but by means of compensation, they provided users with extra experience points to compensate for the 2 days they had lost. The incident continued on, when on June 22, 2003, a file titled '''user.txt''' appeared on several messageboards and P2P applications.<ref name=":0">Gamespot (2003) ''Ragnarok Online hacked, user data leaks''. Available at: https://archive.ph/lGiHU<nowiki/>(Accessed: 29 October 2023).</ref>

The usernames and passwords stored by Gravity at the time were unencrypted, meaning that the file '''user.txt''' was simply shared as it was, rather than decrypted and shared. The data related to people who had pre-registered for the beta test. As a result of this file being shared, several people logged into other accounts on the service, with legitimate users noting that their account had been logged into when accessing their account. Gravity then responded to this by sending out emails to everyone effected, requesting them to change their passwords and verify themselves -- but by this time the damage had already been done as some users who had mail accounts with the same password were unable to access their email to reset their passwords. As a result, Gravity temporarily shut down servers to mitigate damage, and did not respond when asked if this leak also could potentially relate to credit card information.<ref name=":0" />

==== Interesting asides ====
In the research for this article, a comment was found<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20210213213859/https://games.slashdot.org/story/03/06/24/0531236/ragnarok-online-hacked-user-data-leaked</ref> from a Slashdot user which indicated that the previous (or current) attack utilised the SQL Slammer injection vulnerability, which was widely used by the Slammer Worm, a piece of malware which also abused this vulnerability.
The RO server is 31MB. I know this because I know someone that got into their system using the SQL exploit (this was a month before Slammer used the same technique). He retrieved the actual server software and released this on the net so that anyone could emulate the server (if you had 1GB+ ram). He has done a lot to the RO folks, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was him that did it.
