What if an alliance had a hacked account join and before getting sandboxed that hacked account "buys" hp and iso, disseminating cp to the legit alliance members. How do they stop that?

    This should really be in one of the relevant threads. But in any case, they'd have to hack the purchasing itself to disseminate the Command Points. Which means they successfully hacked Apple/Google/Valve's purchasing system. Which means they are either going to be big hits on the black market if they black hat it, or whacked by the feds just after the big three figure out what happened. Or both.

    Probably not a problem. icon_e_smile.gif

    Yes you can. When a member buys hp his alliance mates also get some amount of cps.

    We all know (or some do) there's a three letter acronym for this kind of thing on mobile, it's as far as Google. I really wanted to know, a serious answer, that the cps can be taken away and the person sandboxed with no further problems for the alliance.

    So, can a hacker somehow bypass the "purchase" command to trigger the CP input into a player's account?

    Somewhere out there, I'm sure that hacker is gonna go "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!" icon_e_smile.gif
  • If a hacker is using whatever tools to grant himself infinite HP for cover levelling or 40 packs, I doubt he's going to cry himself to sleep if he misses out on a few command points along the way...

    It's kinda like Ethan Hunt using his incredible espionage and spy skills to break into a local Wal-mart after hours to steal a case of Mars bars.
