The always-helpful Google also shows me that there is a Twitter user named qdog83, who just happens to live in (you guessed it) Petersborough, Ontario! The twitter account belongs to a fellow named Quentin Adam, here's the picture from his public Twitter profile page:

Isn't he just the most adorable little pretend-hacker you ever did see? Looks like Justin Beiber's down-syndrome little brother (either that or Justin Beiber's lesbian big sister).



So anyway, Quentin asked if Sangre_del_Toro was the owner, and then logged out right after.



Moments after Quentin logged out, the same IP address logged back in as Sangre_del_Toro and began issuing op commands; banning players and granting global permissions to users named "SauceOfMinecraft", "brooksR2D2", and "doyleaa1".



Shortly after, SauceOfMinecraft logged in from the same IP address as qdog83. SauceOfMinecraft then proceeded to op himself and a huge list of other gamertags. The next step in Quentin's brilliant and fool-proof plan was for him and his friends to grief the Hub world, and they generally did the best they could with their tiny little hands to muck up Golem Knoll in general, including some heavy griefing and deleting the world files for most of the public worlds.



They failed to harm anyone's Private World... They failed to delete the Gridston+ world... They failed to delete Old Knoll, and they failed to delete the Hub. They don't seem to have even found a way to grief Gridston+, although they did grief Old Knoll and the Hub. According to the logging tools, Quentin and his crew spent a fair bit of time and energy trying to show us all how tough they can be with their big-boy muscles -- well over an hour in fact.



Of course a couple quick LogBlock commands un-did all their griefing in the Hub world and Old Knoll, about 30 seconds on the command-line un-did all the opped gamertags and global permissions, and I should easily be able to restore the deleted worlds from the backup I keep off-site, so all of Quentin's efforts were in vain.



To compound Quentin's failure, his griefing took place on a server that is planned to be completely reset as soon as the 1.7 update is available, so all his hard work was utterly wasted. Mister griefer, you just griefed yourself right in the face!



Let's pause here to have a brief chuckle at poor Quentin's expense. Heheheheh, what a putz.



And now that we've all had a good laugh, I'll be submitting this report (along with the related server logs and the very long list of Quentin's friends whom he opped) to the RCMP and all other appropriate Canadian authorities, as well as submitting the info to the FBI, the NSA, and the Department of Homeland Security since Quentin's act of cyber-terrorism extended across the border into Seattle, Washington, USA, where the server's DataCenter is located, thus making it an act of international cyber-terrorism. So, that should be a fun conversation for l'il Quentin to have with Mum 'n' Dad.



This is the YouTube channel of Quentin's friend "brooksR2D2":

In this video you can even hear what I presume to be Quentin's little girly-voice narrating:

As the comments of the video point out, you can find qdog and his buddies on a server at Recently a try-hard "hacker" logged into our server with the account name "qdog83" from the IP address 24.235.187.179 , which I've geo-located to Petersborough, Ontario, Canada.The always-helpful Google also shows me that there is a Twitter user named qdog83, who just happens to live in (you guessed it) Petersborough, Ontario!

Posted Sep 9, 13 · OP · Last edited Sep 9, 13 [Owner] Golem Knoll a Posts: 37 Admins Owner A bit of technical info:



I'm looking into whether Mr. Adam somehow acquired my Mojang password or whether he used some new hacker-kiddie tool to log into the server using a spoofed username.



In the meantime I've updated to the latest Dev build of CraftBukkit and I've changed my Mojang password. Hopefully that fixes whatever exploit he used, but all we can do for now is wait and see.
