Whoever he was, he must play for the Horde, or maybe he was just a bit miffed over the recent Mists of Pandaria
expansion. A hacker recently found a way to make his level one
character fly around the city of Stormwind, the Alliance capitol,
killing anyone and everyone that got too close to him.
No one has claimed responsibility online, and Blizzard has yet to
release any sort of official statement, it seems they’ve been tied up
with another problem leaving players stuck at the connecting screen. Are
the two related? We don’t know yet, but if someone can go around
slaughtering like this, either they found some major vulnerability, or
it’s time to break out the Sword of a Thousand Truths.
Blizzard has already begun rolling restarts of the live servers to
fix the connection issue. Whether or not they manage to patch the hole
allowing players to go on killing sprees remains to be seen, but some
rumors attest that it may be related to players gaining access to GM
commands. Check out this video and see the carnage for yourself.
Oct 7 2012 - one of the hackers who went across different servers with a
level 1 char, flying around and insta-killing everyone. Happened over
several hours, filling Stormwind with death. Initial reports of the
Rapture were found to be incorrect.
Here's a vid of the it being used from the dude who did this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb-1FpPpBRI
For
all those asking - the combat log said "You died." without any damage
source. The hacker was the level 1 priest (if that isn't immediately
clear) that's flying around.
