This

I bet they're all running around "do we know how much they know? Who the hell did it?"

Having WB confirm the time of shutdown may actually be useful

Yes do it lol

I'm at work :(

I think in light of whats happened, discussing it with opsec people now is fine. Maybe a show of hands?

👋

I asked WB if there was chatter in the slack about it yet.

I’d wait

🤚

👋

👍 they'd be stupid to do that I think

I think I'd wait too.

Let’s wait

Depends if they think only RIOT has been compromised.

If someone starts talking about this it says interesting things about their Res contacts.

@theprevaricator define opsec people

All ~800 people know is that RIOT is down.

No free intel.

Fair enough

that makes it like 50/50

Ask WB how often that happens

Wait

so lets stay the course.

Hasn't happened in a year.

no fucking way

HA

what

wait

It would be hilarious though

::dancing on their graves::

dont fuck with my feels

no fake news today

lol

This would be fantastic!

holy shit

its real

it is?

dude, thats awesome

That's nuts

Remember not to poke around right now. They still probably have server logs.

it's real

Think bans could be following? Too much to hope for

I've been looking for this and I can't find it. Do have the forward or know how it was marked? I tried pullquote

so wtf

Evidence, please

but how could that be?

Taking down a server is like a spoofer creating a new account.

they fold and reopen?

Well is it real that Niantic has control of it or are they playing us now that they know we know.

load the page. riot.one shows it

niantic cant get control of a url that fast

Yes, I believe in the HTML

someone inside had to do it

But yeah

yeah

Depending on who owned it they could have repointed it today.

No evidence that Niantic did it

i bet it was "you down this now or youre all fucking banned"

but it makes it look like Niantic is in control of it and taking action

BUT if they control who owned it it implicates Niantic as complicit.

What Kim said

Just buys time

Add that to having an employee on the list...

Yea, it could be show

Anyone have a DNS tracker to see if it has changed?

Muddies the waters

Niantic didn't have enough information to credibly make this threat.

Yes, they did.

You want to tell us exactly what happened?

I missed it.

Did you give them the files?

preview access to the site

Charlie will have a hell of a backlog to read.

What's done is done. I think I would've given the group here a heads up tho

NiaOps contacted me yesterday, saying that responsible release of the information to them would be the best way to ensure action. Charlie concurred and we gave them early access.

TTL on the record for riot.one is 5 minutes. Doesn't mean anything itself as I use 5 minutes too but they could change the IP it points to quickly and put up a splash then move the interface to a new URL.

Ah

And it appears to have leaked to the RES...

WOW. But yeah. I understand why, but I would have liked to know.

Same

And I assumed when it was said you were contacted, you meant recently as in today. Wow

I see that. At the least notice that it was happening.

probably a blown call there. im sorry.

How did they know to contact you?

i was the first to message krug

THIS is what concerns me

i believe

Ah, ok, true

What's TTL?

If niaops is actually moving on this then that's more than I even expected to happen

I don't know, I think it shows a direct link from Niantic to the RES - something my tinfoil hat has long suspected. Unless it is a legitimate Niantic takedown they'd have to explain how the news got to the RES.

Well yes, we should have been told but I'm happy as hell if this means Niantic is actually DOING something

Time To Live how long the DNS record should be cached or used without checking back with the server

Speculating entirely, was their employee an admin? If so, they could have demanded it in exchange for keeping him employed?

Why give a release time of noon today if you had let Nia in on it? It had to be known they'd blow it before then

so heres how i see it. Niaops has the list, nia employees are on it, angel investors are on it.

the ppl whose jobs depend on this give it up right away
