American Army man speaks out
By INQUIRER staff: Wednesday 12 January 2005, 17:47
* UPDATE 20:00 GMT, January 13th 2005. The letter from Mr DeLuca seems to have disappeared.
A FILING ON a forum from Phil DeLuca at America's Army game project indicates that the US Army is not at all happy at people s0dding about with its code.
DeLuca said that the US Army is very unhappy with hackers and others breaching its licence agreements, and it knows who these people are.
He said: "When you tamper with the [America's Army] game not only are you breaking the EULA, you're misusing Army property, and worse, you're misusing US Army computer programs and equipment".
He said the US Army knows who the offenders are warned that "tampering with software and servers owned or used by the Army is cybercrime".
And his filing on the forum, which you can read here, ends with a dire warning.
He said: "We know who you are, and can track down where you play from. We have incontrovertible proof you did something illegal. The Army is angry, and we're coming for you". ยต
