So it seems Blizzard is taking some aggressive action here and is now suing 3 known hack developers. Cranix, Perma, and linuxawesome.
Blizzard is claiming that these individuals were creating hacks and selling them, profiting, even when previously told to cease and desist doing so.
Also mentioned were Zynastor, from bwhacks.com and Dark_Mage, from bhfiles.com - Blizzard claims that these individuals were cohorts of the above charged.
My opinion on the matter; I just think Dark_Mage got connected because he hosts a lot of these hacks on his server and Zynastor got connected because of his reversal knowledge that he probably was posting around that could lead to a lot of these hacks being made.
We'll see how this turns out, will be interesting because all those guys don't even live in the US.

General synopsis of case

More than likely the case will just be thrown out before anything actually happens and life will go on.
Honestly I would like to see them punished for distributing the hacks to friggen everyone, battle.net is no longer enjoyable because of the rampant hacking.
if they kept them private I wouldn't care cause every other game wouldn't have a hacker in it.
Why not blame Blizzard also for making the game so hackable
:jig: Blame me, I'm famous :jig:
cranix what are you doing now? Are you still alive? LOL!
