no wonder noone at the company took the disclosure seriously. Tagging someone and telling them they failed a “vibe check” is a joke. This wasnt a “oh i found a vuln” this was an “i compromised their entire company, stole customer data and then failed to properly convey the severity” Theres just so much glaringly wrong with how this person went about this. Here’s one such critique from Reddit’s r/hacking forum: Reddit r/hacking thread, White hat hacker: ‘I hacked SlickWraps. The responses to this breach are all over the map, but they generally fall into two camps: contempt for Slickwraps, and contempt for the way that Hacker 1 and Hacker 2 handled disclosure by breaching the company – not exactly “white hat” behavior, that. Well that's a big old yikes from /28SOEMIBZ9- Toneman February 21, 2020 Then, Hacker 2 came along, read the Medium post, exploited the vulnerability, and gang-emailed 377,428 email addresses from the company’s records using the hacked email address Some customers shared the hacked email on Twitter: the ‘web root’).”įrom there, an attacker could get at current and former employees’ resumes (including their selfies, email addresses, home addresses, phone numbers and more) and backed-up customer photos (including porn), among many other things. You can read the Medium post or The Verge’s writeup for all the gory details, but in essence, Hacker 1 – Lynx0x00 – found a vulnerability on Slickwraps’ phone case customization page that would enable anyone with the right toolkit to upload “any file to any location in the highest directory on their server (i.e. They recently posted an article to Medium (here’s the archived version) detailing how they pulled off the hack and how pathetic Slickwraps’ response was. The hacker who initially found Slickwraps’ vulnerability goes by the handle Lynx0x00. Not saying slickwrap is right, but you could have done better in “notifying” them before all this. You breached their network illegally and taunted them when they didn't take you serious enough.

Slickwraps was given little time to follow up on their vulnerability report and they then proceeded to run amok getting and exploiting root and taunting the company instead of clearly explaining the vulnerability.

The initial hacker – who calls themselves a white-hat security researcher – isn’t coming out of this smelling like roses either. The whole thing on both sides was clownshoes, when an unpiercably large ego meets an unfathomably dense IT staff. One of the commenters on The Verge’s story, trost79muh, had this to say about when a company with garbage security meets a bug reporter with an attitude: The Verge, for one, called the breach and the aftermath “comically bad”.

This was a breach that earned the deep scorn of both the hacker – who was twice blocked by Slickwraps for reporting the vulnerability – and observers after some other hacker went ahead and exploited the company’s vulnerable setup.

According to the developers, Scorn's visual style takes some direct inspiration from H.R. The imagery shown off in this video is extremely weird, but it's still interesting-especially for fans for enjoyed the Alien series. In the gameplay video, there's a sense that the game puts players in a state of confusion, which only seems to become more palpable as the gameplay demo progresses. As you can see, it brings to mind the work of some classic science-fiction artists. To survive, you'll have to embrace some of the more grotesque and bizarre elements found within the bio-mechanical hellscape. Scorn takes this approach a bit further by focusing on a setting that feels totally alien and unnatural, which gives it something of an alluring, yet still unsettling vibe. In a similar vein to Bioshock, Scorn drops players into a strange environment filled with hostile enemies and a peculiar atmosphere that hints that something has gone wrong.
