Title: The 504th Gateway Division has struck again
Post by: Abele on July 25, 2018, 07:58:49 AM
It appears that the WoB has hit CGL once again. All CGL sites seem to have been attacked by the WoB's Elite 504th Gateway Division and a full blockade is in effect.

Haha I had no idea what CGL is so I googled it. I really don't think its what Urbandictionary told me it was.

Not exactly what Abele was going for there Bradshaw, he meant Catalyst Games Labs, and it appears the 504th has been driven from the field at least for now.

It would appear that the 504th has been reborn and has launched an attack on the BT forums.

Yeah they are hard to kill them Blakists.

They were beaten off for a short while only to return and renew their attack

I haven't frequented the site in quite some time so I really don't know. I still use all the software on my old laptop. Kind of sad there is no more official software design program.

Not so much a crash, it's credential related.  I'm VERY worried that they may need reset the data base. Only time i remember being unable to login was when the forums were hacked maybe decade ago. We lost EVERYTHING when that happened. 

It seems we can only off-on login.  I was able login last night, but not this morning. (I start work early)

Post by: Abele on September 15, 2020, 08:19:23 AM
I logged in yesterday in the early evening just fine. Went to work and could not login. Someone posted in the admin forum that CBT/CGL were not compliant with the EU's new silly rules and they thought it could effect the website. I'm in the USA so I don't know EU compliance issues should effect me.
Title: Re: The 504th Gateway Division has struck again
Post by: Bradshaw on September 15, 2020, 08:57:11 AM
Whats odd is that its showing that people are logged in also I saw that the last post was 3 am EST so unless it was a PST takedown its probably not related to something like EU rules
Title: Re: The 504th Gateway Division has struck again

This is what i get.  I think it's people relogging in verses already logged in.

The Shadow Divisions were the greatest surprise to Inner Sphere intelligence agencies during the Jihad. Led by Precentor Apollyon and reporting directly to The Master, the Shadow Divisions served as the Blakist's main offensive arm, The 504th Shadow Divisions quickly proved themselves the equal of most elite military commands. With their focus on more counterintelligence operations, the Shadow Division spent most of its time outside the borders of the Word of Blake Protectorate.

The 504th Shadow Division was staffed by mainly intelligence soldiers and technicians with a single level II of Mechs.   The unit was mainly kept in the background of the jihad disrupting Comstar communications and House communications with false leads, false orders, and even outright sabatoge where needed.

Perhaps for an alternate I will include them in an attack on the Clan Homeworlds where they are the vanguard shutting down key warrior caste installations for the main assault.  ;)

  Exarch,  previous reports or the 504th being a one of a kind division seem to be egregiously erroneous.    While intel provided by several captured 504th members seemed to point to only one such unit, new information from a previously unkown captured ROM agent captured along with the small band of hackers taken on New Earth several months back.  a previously unkown unit, the 503rd Shadow Division (Gateway Denied) along with the 504th (Gateway Division) previously thought to be the last such division.     A possible third unit was hinted at is the 405th (Service Denied).

  Exarch,  per previous reports of saboteurs/rogue WoB units operating in cells disrupting communications, hacking commnunications, crashing networks.  Several new units have came to light after several days of intense debriefing of the captured WoB operatives .    Along side the 3, the 105th (Blue Screen), 108th (Red Death) and the 110th (Yellow Doom).    Having played video games as a young kid i can see where these names come from.    but what they are trained to do is unkown and this makes them very dangerous against the Republic and the Sphere.      We can surmise that they are cross trained in computer operations such as viruses, hacking, splicing, code rewriting to start off with,   i suggest we get the best certified and out of the box thinkers and tinkers to lock down our protocols and systems to prevent these kind of attacks now and future.

When you get the error Table matomo_log_visit is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed. it means that the Mysql tables got partially corrupt and must be repaired. This problem may occur for various reasons (such as missing space on the disk) but it should occur very rarely.
I guess its a rare boo boo, i hope.
