Oh well, looks like you already found it. I think we have answered the most popular accusations there. He did make a request of Pescado, quite a few pages back, he wanted Pescado to check some numbers. I thought that was really weird.
There's nothing interesting to check in those numbers that haven't already been checked and reported, plus the Phorums don't collect much info due to privacy concerns. All the IPs in question correspond to either former Thomas/Atwa IPs, or public proxies. Does that include the sherriesims IP's? Does your forum software collect user agent, if so have you searched for that particular one? |

Because based on all the information I have, it seems like Johan really is as clueless as he claims to be. Based on his position within the organization, they probably don't let him out of his cage much.
I would be interested in finding out what your information on me might be? Did you looks at the IP's and that user agent by the way? I thought it looked very interesting and I'm sure it's in all our interest to bring forward any additional information that can help us get us to the bottom of this. If i'm not sure about something then i don't pretend to be, hence the "i don't know"'s You can call it clueless if you want, i think i'm just being honest. |

Knock yourself out. We're talking about something else.
I've been trying to read up there but it's very hard to tell what parts are speculation and what are supposed to be facts. Are you saying that everything posted there are serious accusations? |

There have been so many things that seem to need explanations and the TSR admin dont seem to be very forthcoming with information, not just about this but many other things in the past as well. It is disheartening to be confronted by so much negative information about your site and only get the response from your side that it is all lies. I used to frequent your forums (under a different name) and I can say that the censorship of your members and activity of your staff without recourse makes your credibility as a site come into question.
I would like to hear your opinion of these things as well as some of the other things circulating around the net right now such as what exact kind of relationship deos TSR have with EA/Maxis?
I would like to give answers, that first post i made was actually serious, exactly what are we accused of doing? PayPal info sharing, DDos attacks, closing other fansites? It's getting late so i will not be around to answer it now. |

Johan, talk to your boss (Steve) then.  Becuase he said this: "...for Tom's login, it *is* possible it was obtained from his end... thats a loophole we fixed just after Christmas". Chatting with Steve I don't think I "got the wrong idea" since we where talking *specifically* about security of accounts and logins, etc. I would suggest that, before you go around trying to discredit me, you first check your own source. "No our users login details where not compromised" does not tally with "thats a loophole we fixed after Christmas". I'm sorry if you got the impression that i was trying to discredit you, that was not my intention. I don't know exactly what he meant by fixing the loophole but we don't have any reason to believe that our members login details have been compromised. |

SO according to you, Delphy was not told by Steve that there was a vulnerability that was rectified 3 months ago that may have resulted in passwords being compromised?
I hope my posts are coming off in the tone I intend. I appreciate you staying long enough to answer a few questions and only intend, at this moment, to have a civil conversation with you to understand some of what is going on.
Edited for clarification.
Thanks for being civil! As i said earlier i was not in the chat but since this didn't happend i highly doubt that he told Delphy so. It is probably a misunderstanding. Some FA accounts were compromised about 3 months ago, i think this is what he means. |

One thing I can't figure out is if Thomas really was hacked and somebody used his password to use his mts account to do this to Buggybooz, how come he's not screaming bloody murder about it? If somebody used my name and my account like that I'd be reporting that IP myself and working with anybody I could to get to the bottom of it. This service that lets you have any IP you want, don't they have records of who they gave that IP to? It seems to me it's an illegal use of their service to use it to hack a site under someone else's name. If it's a US company there must be laws that will make them turn over those records. If I was Thomas that's what I'd be doing, not blowing off all this just saying "Nope, wasn't me."
Good points, but Thomas MTS account was not used to do this to Buggybooz, Buggybooz account were used. What should we tell in the report, that we got the blame for something we didn't do because someone was using their service? I doubt this company would reveal any information if you just ask them but if anyone have a chance to get the information it would be Delphy since he is the one who got "hacked". |

Johan- Can you explain why no one was ever notified that their private information such as passwords may have been compromised and if that is not the case, why Thomas or Steve would tell Delphy that it was?
It seems Delphy jumped to conclusions or got the wrong idea. I wasn't in the chat with them so i don't know exactly what was said but no, our users login details were not compromised. Some FA accounts were compromised a while ago, if you remember blaming us for hacking ourselves? This is the incident i think they were talking about. |

I get that, but do all of these random annoying people have admin access? Acces to personal info used to break into accounts on other sites, apparently to support TSR in some way? And is it just a coincidence that Atwa really really really loves tsr?  Of course not. Atwa is not part of TSR and i have nothing else to say about her other than it don't look like it's her based on our own investigations. |

Maybe this is a bit much to ask but i can at least try:
Pescado, can you make something out of the IP's and user agent strings in Delphy's last post?
If you for example have a user on your forum with logins from any of those IP's where the user agent matches (the IE 7 one in particular)

lefwillynot has the same ip Atwa used on Naturalsims. They are from the same service Thomas has bought to hide atwa's ip from staff members on TSR.
Johan:
- What are the chances that any of the people who buy that service, know anything about the sims 2 community?
- What are the chances that any of the people who buy that service, care about what was posted on Simsecret about TSR?
- What are the chances that any of the people who buy that service, would break into TSR?
- What are the chances that any of the people who buy that service, use the ip's that have been linked to Atwa on a different site than MTS2 and LiveJournal?
Thanks for clarifying that Anouk, do we know anything else abut this user? For example where it stands in the paysite debate? I don't want to get into discussions right now, i am trying to collect as much information as i can about this for our own investigations but to answer your questions: We see A LOT of trouble makers on TSR using this service! And you can't link such an IP to a specific user as anyone using the service can get that IP. I'm not 100% sure that you can select a specific IP but if you can you could even use that to make it look like you are atwa for example if atwa were seen as "connected" to that IP. |

What do we know about leftywillnot, how is he/she connected? IP's at the time Buggy's stuff was deleted
buggybooz 70.85.179.186
Hamilton 70.85.179.186
leftywillnot 70.85.197.178
All three used exacty the same browser versions, plugins and settings.
IP's Atwa has used on Natural Sims
same as leftywillnot 70.85.197.178
78.129.197.69
Ip's 'hacker' has used on simsecret
78.129.197.69
83.142.228.139
Atwa is connected to all three cases. She has no access to TSR's userdatabase. Also she has no reason to keep hold of the logins of BuggyBooz fro months on end. However, someone with admin access provided her with
1. the proxy server ip, and
2. the passwords used to get into both accounts
3. the knowledge about the theft
Do we think that Atwa would have the capabilities to read and try out some passwords? - sure
Do we think that Atwa has the knowledge to hack into TSR? - Fat chance.
I think you are a little bit confused about the anonymous proxy part. Anyone using the service (Hide My IP or similar) can get that IP, you might even be able to request a specific IP. |
