Hi

MilanChe hacked Flatfun.
He explained his actions under the topic Score Upload Error - in his reaction on 2010/08/16 - so don\'t kill the messenger.:cheer:

Is this recognized, or better - preventable?

Cheers,
Renato

I added some checks to prevent cheat scores like these to be shown. They can be uploaded, and they will appear in the \"Recent Scores\" list, but they won\'t show in the Online Score Database and they won\'t be used for the World Ranking computation.

I can\'t say *all* possible cheats are accounted for, though :S

I\'m glad that MilanChe exposed this hole, and I guess the BlockOut developers already knew about it, but I definitely don\'t agree when he says:
\"And I am convinced that all hi-scores is done like that...\"
That\'s a very risky statement without concrete proofs!
(And from a timing point of view, the current high scores are completely legal).<br><br>Post edited by: scblockout, at: 2010/08/22 05:26
