Agent smith works for GREE??

[foxtrekker]

After seeing _agentSmith aka can't remember the last name it was under at level 194, and reporting him, i recieved a in game message from that person telling me i was a lucky winner of a _happy2013 event, etc, etc.
I did not attack nor leave a message for this player so the only way he could have known i noticed him was through gree support. Just minutes after i had reported him did i get the message.
There's definately something really strange going on with this game??

[dudeman]

Did you visit his hood? I think he can tell who's visited his hood in a certain time window. He is hacking, why wouldn't that be hackable too?

[foxtrekker]

Seems to me you'd have to be on their end to watch game code going by, and who'd do that??
I'd much rather believe the conspiracy theory but Gree should make a statement about this hacking because people need to know what's going on. Seeing as the game just changed hands if theres a hacker it could easily be an inside job.
If the game isn't secure it should be shut down and fixed.

Did you visit his hood? I think he can tell who's visited his hood in a certain time window. He is hacking, why wouldn't that be hackable too?You don't need to hack to do that. A few folks have already noticed this was possible. Won't name them, but I know its not just 1 or 2 people that know how to do this.

Edit: that basically comes for free if he's operating the way I think he is.

[dudeman]

Interesting.

So more than likely he knows who visits him. I visited earlier and two mnutes later I got the same comment posted on my wall.

I then went 10-0 on the next _agentSmith I saw. He had friends though, my rivals list had four or five of those guys on one page.

Edit: Not shown are two more further up the page.

[foxtrekker]

I'm seeing up to 7 agent smiths per rival list now too.
At an average of 1 per list there could be as many as 100 smiths in total.
Who knows how many by morning? 1000?

I'd much rather believe the conspiracy theory but Gree should make a statement about this hacking because people need to know what's going on.I agree, firing CCM was a bad choice on their part. Not saying we had the best Gree-to-uers communication but now that he's gone, aside from CJ replying sometimes, we have no communication to and from them.

[Cricket]

strange how this reminds of of the Matrix reloaded...

[NFI]

I've got the same agent smith at lvl 151, however I'm lvl 150, always believed you could only see your level and one below not one level above in rivals list??? Took snaps of his hood and inventory just need to work out how to post pics!

Took snaps of his hood and inventory just need to work out how to post pics!Click edit on your reply, click the third button to the right (Looks like a tree) and do either of the 2 methods. The first is uploading from your computer, just click select fires, click the ones you want posted and then click done. Method 2 is from a url. Upload the pic to a website like www.tinypic.com and then post the Forums & Messaging Boards code here.

Well what can we say.... firing ppl and melting together companies usually gives this result tho this is also first sign (that companies doesnt see) that they loosing their products buyers and with that usually products decay and dies and after some time then even company goes out of buisness......
So with bad support they wont sell products and dies , companies with top notch support lives longer cause they think about their cusomer that buys more off them cause great support and not just great products......

[Ramshutu]

Agent smith doesn't work for gree.

For the following reasons.

1.) It would take many man hours need to be invested to create accounts set things up and start hitting people.
2.) it takes 2 seconds to configure the explosives so that they have horrendous consume rates
3.) the internet is full of bored hackers that have nothing better to do.

Given a couple of days, there are at least 3 people on the forum that could do what is being done here, from scratch. However the people I know understand that with great power comes great responsibility.

This guy is probably someone who has had his ego offended because some people here can outcompete him robustly legitimately.

[foxtrekker]

It appears agentsmith has moved to the 100 levels.
I remember seeing a playing called neo a while ago, haven't seen him lately.
This hacker does have a fascination with the matrix.
It's cool seeing weapons u never see, gree should have thought of inserting dummy players like this but with lower stats and uncollected property and bonus weapon drops.

[budman68]

There a few at level 156 also. Crap hood or I would have robbed him lol

[Steve0]

He is all over the place

[Acidist]

I cant believe my Eyes, when i see the Pictures.I hope Gree do something.

[Steve0]

Yeah, they are multiplying 2 so far at level 147 10-0 no explosives lost yet.

Hi Dudeman, I think so too. That's how he got me. I left a message on one of those no name accts floating around and wam bam..got the "you're lucky 2013 message" and been hit today several times today. They hit ten times with ten different accts. all within a minute. He probably wants us to talk about him cause it makes him feel special.
Ive been researching and have found that this hacker bot _ agentsmith is viral and changes. It's been around since October yet it still in the game!
At first it was _agentsmith, now it's Mr. Anderson and can't protect u. Ive read that CK EL gets two other names. They show up at all levels with all different stats. I've been reporting this to Gree and sending them pics. They better correct this or I'm banning my fkin acct.

[Steve0]

I have not recieved any retaliations from _agentSmith. like some one said the comments went back 22 days. I havent seen him around any more. Maybe my wins raised his level. Gree needs to get there crap together.

[DenZ1]

Enough is enough.

[Euchred]

I've got a funny screeny from earlier today, they haven't been as rampant since.

http://i.imgur.com/D2wgLl.jpg

[Steve0]

Yeah cant find any more.

[(CK) EL]

After about 50 attacks from these guys i realized that my stats were raised! !!
I found then in my inventory a second street justice rifle 1500/1900! !!
Is it them or gree? Ticked submitted

[Jian Carlo]

After the lucky me 2013 message received yesterday, I've been attacked by _agentSmith, Mr.Anderson and Can't protect U a total of 39 times.

I dont care about my fight stats but getting a bit pissed off, I dont recall fighting Them or visiting them.

[Jian Carlo]

If they would leave me one then I won't complain any more LOL

Unrelated. There was an error in the reward script for the Bay City Invasion and I was finishing up on making sure everyone who earned a reward got their reward.

EDIT: And before anyone asks, I can't comment on the investigation into this character, but we're taking this very seriously.

i am not complaining about having 2 instead of one of those great items and
you might leave it there for ever :) or reward me for my honesty :)
you kind developer :)

[Indian bong]

Found one on 149 lvl . . with att of 381291 & def of 243460 . . . thought he was hacker and reported him to gree lol . .

[Indian bong]

btw could any1 explain me how to attach a file in ur comments . . if i try to upload it via my computer it says image size is larger than forum regulated size of 19.5 kb and then when i reduced the size of image its says JPEG file has incorrect file extension . .

[Mikecore]

_agentSmith should change his name to agentProvocateur so as to be more sexy....

So his tactics are: 1) leaves a message to your wall
2) relentless attacks

Does he return the hits???...for those who have found and attacked him...without receiving his message...

On your unrelated, I have still not received my reward.

As for the attacks from the hacker, the following attackers hit me every 2 hrs alternating between the following;
Mr Anderson.
Can't protect u.
Welcome to.
The real world.
_agent smith.

Hello Gree how about sorting it, it is getting BORING.

[Ben Weston]

getting attacked by the same two people, can't protect u and mr.anderson over and over again. robbing and attacking. my news feed is nothing but these two. getting annoying now, reported both with screen shots to the support team but its this crap that will make me quit after 18months of playing.

don't let this make you quit, just refuse to buy gold. if people stopped buying gold then they will have to sort the problem out.

[pfjabur]

Having trouble with these guys...
Mr.Anderson
can't_protect_U
_@gentsmith
And others that i can remember the nickname

Waiting for a revenge gree...

[foxtrekker]

My solution to the hacker problem:
Gree institute a free for all day where anyone can attack anyone regardless of stats.
I know theres a lot of people that would like to retaliate that can't against someone with 900k defense.
I'm no programmer but there must be a way for the game to detect false stats and nullify the attacks.
Something like more than 1 scratcher grand prize will not work. etc, etc. i can think of a many ways.

[TruthHurts]

Gree, tell the guys at Keynote to stop effing around. Period.

Don't play dumb, you know what I'm talking about....

Hey CJ.. what about duplicates of the reward. Have seen a several players with doubles and triples of the street justice. Are you folks taking care of that or do we need to submit tickets to get those cleared up..

[CK Tizda half pint]

I'm beating all of them as we speak, I will make they cry like I make Puppy Lupo cry.

[Soopajake]

Hey admins CJ and _ER, This Agent Smith baloney...this doesn't reflect in any way that our financial information and contact information from Gree/Funzio are compromised right?

Please make a public announcement regarding this very serious and annoying issue. thank u.

[Dangerous Greg]

I agree, I won't be buying any gold at any price as long as this continues. why? I can get beat easily by someone that spends little or NO money on the game. If Gree thinks this doesn't damage their bottom line (eventually) they have their head in the sand!

Hello Gree how about sorting it, it is getting BORING.

He is deffo busy. I too have had this trouble. I do not retaliate, who can win against someone who has a defense of 790418, Certainly not me.
I am still waiting for Gree to reply to a support ticket from 19th Dec.

I am not holding my breath

Done spending.

[Tomatoneverdie]

This is like gold boycott without actually calling for one! I'm done as well, but mostly because spending a little wont help after Lv101....

I am currently being stalked by this guy for the last few days every 2 hrs, must be a viral programme of some sort.

[Ramshutu]

How funny would it be if Agent Smith was actually a result of The Billionaire obtaining too many boost items and his profile becoming self aware.

[(CK) EL]

I don't know if you also have noticed this.
I wasn't attacked by those hackers until i bought some landmines.
I already have more than 500 non consumables explosives but i decided to buy few landmines that gives 25 defence.
As soon as i bought some that agent start attacking me.
I also got attacked as soon as i did a withdraw to make an upgrade. Money stayed seconds in my hands but agent took some.
I decided then to leave some buildings uncollected. I was robbed by the hacker within 5 minutes.
Seems that this hacker has some access to gree's servers

Ok this is getting beyond ridiculous... That's just what i was able to screen shot. There were an additional 4 more in my rivals list.

[(CCK)-cameron]

I saw an agent smith at level 145 240000 atk and 230000 def

Based on the response time, I'd hate to have an "unserious" problem then. You have someone that is ruining the game at all levels and he is allowed free reign for a week.

And as for your policy about not discussing investigations...someone needs to rethink that. When it comes to tracking down hacking and issues, your players are your best resource. It is simply enough to keep personal information out of things by simply making statements such as, "Player x that was suspected of hacking has been investigated and was found to be using an exploit. The player has been banned and the exploit has been closed. Thank you for bringing this to our attention." Not only would that let your dedicated players know that hacking is being actively combated, it would also give people incentive to find other problems and report them before they are exploited.
