We told you several times we could limit the database connection to your servers' IP only and you refused...



We told you our tools (phpmyadmin and the live map) would not work while this restriction was in place, which was unacceptable to you. PHPMyAdmin and the live map are both hosted on the same server - if we allowed access to the live map the attacker would have full access to your database through phpma. You would still be allowed to access your database from an external IP of your choosing directly, not sure if/why someone told you otherwise.



In any case we've been aware of the problem for awhile (I remember talking to TheLaughingMan about it months ago, and he was extremely helpful) but nobody had abused the exploit (which only exists because of security holes in arma2 itself...) and we had more important things to worry about - and as I also personally told you we will fix it permanently as soon as we get back from Los Angeles on the 26th, until then you can either accept our temporary fix or cancel and get a full refund. It looks like the latter has already happened.
