PlayOnline Exploits

Thank you for sharing this information.

SE, can we have a response to this please as it potentially could be an serious issue regarding our data protection?

No, you can't. If anything, you'll get a statement when it's discovered and fixed.

The OP really shouldn't have said anything at all, becuase it was going to (and did) stoke fear among anyone who saw it.

You can be sure that they aren't going to want to deal with the fallout that would occur if something like this were to actually happen, which is exactly why they can not discuss such issues until after they're already fixed. These sorts of things have occured before. If people know about these things they can exploit them, which is the whole reason the OP didn't originally want to say anything about it in the first place. This is a sensitive topic and not the sort of thing a community rep can just freely discuss.

Erm.. Isn't that what I literately just asked for in my post?

Although, if this is about shared or other accounts then it is not an issue for me as I never have shared an account. It's the comment about the Securekey I was mainly focusing on.

Well, it sounded to me more like you wanted an SE response right now. Which is why I said, with the nature of something like this you're not going to get one until it's been addressed, because if they talk about it beforehand, it risks the issue being tested and exploited by users in the meantime.

Also, I have checked around, the OP above also tweeted (or is it X'ed, now?) at SE and at a minimum, community reps are aware of this thread at the very least.

I disagree. This is the best way to get things addressed when his previous attempts failed. Something similar happened in the Dark Souls community. There was a RCE exploit that was possible in all three Dark Souls games, and likely the then-upcoming Elden Ring as well. Reporting multiple times through official channels did nothing. Only blasting loudly on Reddit finally got an acknowledgement, and a fix shortly thereafter.
