WoW. Reports are showing that 1000ish accounts were compromised and/or lost yesterday during a downtime on servers. Scary part? Many of them were supposedly using Blizzard Authenticators....

Did Blizzard Get Hit By Their Own Banstick WoW Hacked

Hey folks!



So the other day, I received an email from Trion, the owners of the MMO Rift. They haz been Haxxored. Since I have no real worry about my account there (nothing even closely resembling WoW by email or password combination) I could really give a rats ass. But....

(Tobold hit on the Rift hack on his site if you want more reading on it: Tobolds MMORPG Blog)










This morning, I open up twitter, and see that Blizzards forums have been down...for 6 hours...so far. Did they get sliced as well? Whaddabout our Authenticators, did that server get hit too?








My wonder is....are we in trouble? Are our accounts safe?

Better be safe than be sorry, so after changing my WoW password, and re-linking my Authenticator, I feel more in control of the situation. You can never be too careful, huh?

I am sure more updates to come. Who knows, maybe they are just going through Maintenance on...a Saturday? Or maybe they are giving us all Christmas in game pets....ITS A CONSPIRACY I TELLZ YOU!

I wonder if they did get hacked, would they admit it? Not likely....

Diving into an hacked Chrome extension

This page explain how to make minified JS code readable.

Dive into HTML

The HTML part is usually easy : just need to open the .html files and to look around. However, mine appeared tricky ! The developers, a professional software company wishing to increase its visibility, voluntarily made the code harder to read. My .html is actually almost empty, and filled through js event. So I went on...

Javascript

The JS code was itself *minified* : no comments, no spaces, no lines jumps. This practice increase code opacity, making it quite unreadable for humans. Below is an example, I changed some code (ie:myID) so you can guess a bit:

function openurl(){chrome.extension.sendRequest({openurl:http://www.mywebsite.com},window.close()}var fill=document.getElementById(myDivID);fill.innerHTML=<font color="#888888"><b>My Bold Sentence:</b></font>;fill.title=Fly over title ;);fill=document.getElementById(mySpanID);fill.innerHTML=<img id="image" src="myIcon.png" >My small sentence.;?

After asking a friend for keywords, I googled for a "minifier/unminifier". I loved:

1. http://jsbeautifier.org/: website, simple, efficient, online deminifier
2. Pretty Beautiful Javascript (Chrome extension): elegant, efficient, on-fly deminifier ! In chrome://settings/extensions need to "Allow access to file URLs" chrome extension, need based on the website script

function openurl() {
    chrome.extension.sendRequest({
        openurl: http://www.mywebsite.com
    },
    window.close()
}
var fill = document.getElementById(myDivID);
fill.innerHTML = <font color="#888888"><b>My Bold Sentence:</b></font>;
fill.title = Fly over title ;);
fill = document.getElementById(mySpanID);
fill.innerHTML = <img id="image" src="myIcon.png" >My small sentence.;????

Much nicer ! The code is now far more readable and human-friendly. Prepare a cup of coffee, warm up your eyes and fingers: you will have to code tonight !
