    Antivirus company spend two days to solve problem with my home PC.

    However this spy program wan't able to grab SoW... due to fact that my home network is too slow at the moment...

    In my practice it is the second such case. First was with Forgotten Battles or Pacific (don't remember exactly). there we identified from where was attempt. Now... hackers became more and more smart...

    It's just a basic fact of the cyber world BC. Even Oleg isn't immune apparently.

    you would think oleg would have much better security though.

    All bravado aside, pretty significant event in the history of the series. Must have been quite the effort to try to hack his home computer. Makes you wonder who did it. Whether they were players, pirates or industrial espionage types.

    Actually, I don't look at this occurrence as anything similar as to the reasons for Securerom or Boontybox.

    Sure, bypassing any retail purchase or any other legal means of procurement IS stealing, but this is different. This is pre-meditated attempted burglary. It's the difference between a shoplifter and someone actually coming into your living room and snatching your big screen.

    It's different.

    On a funny note though (and an upside if there is one), he said they failed because his pc/network was too slow.
