Hackers?

Recently I saw what seemed to be some kind of hacked messages in the system chat of Shinrarta Dezhra. In fact, when googling about it I stumbled across someone's video about it:

At this very moment I'm in the Huangais system, and I noticed that there's something like 50 fleet carriers with the name "BUY ARX NOW", all with serial numbers starting with "G6M-". I don't know if this is the only system where there's such a flood of FCs with that (or a similar) name. I doubt that any legitimate player purchased about 50 fleet carriers just for this. The owner name is "VALIDATING", which I don't know is something in the game, or an actual "commander name".

As others have reported yes commander validating was a valid Commander name at one time.

Regarding the location you're going to, most of us always do that in Solo.
 
There is a user called Validating, I've come across many of their discovered systems. I don't think that's the same person.
you mean hackers like this guy? he mapped all of the Star´s in this System, and the Black Holes

While it is an attackers game, it's just not a high enough priority for most of the companies you see get hacked and they barely spend any resources on it.
For instance our GSM network protocols are already very old and completely compromised, but efforts to build 5G on newer and secure protocols have been resisted by many governments (one wonders why). The result is that even something like 5G is completely compromised.

Then there are companies like MS that makes products where opening an email, or displaying an icon can completely compromise you. Also companies running ancient and compromised software simply because it would cost money to redo it. The examples are abundant.

And in the end anything you connect to the outside world can probably be hacked..

But in this case I don't think anyone should worry too much about Elite's chat displaying messages...
 
Damn even went to the system thought this was legit. IF Fdev followed this path instead of the bug war i may still play the game religiously.
