VRCHIVE getting raided?

[sarah]

@Potato2022 dang its back down

[picturesque]

Yeah, currently if you login to their site, you'll be perma banned. As far as I know when I last checked their server.

[Kur0m1S4N]

@picturesque Damn, expected though! Since VRChive requires users to create an account in order to upload and download things, it's expected they'd halt account usage for the time being. Didn't expect them to permaban accounts though Wonder what's gonna happen to current accounts

[yuniivers]

they'll have an appeal system it sounds like

Site's back Up everyone

[Kur0m1S4N]

Finally! Really missed VRChive even if it was down for two days! Everything seems normal, just a few listings in Clothing are missing images, which is no biggie!

@picturesque is it down for you again? o.O it's down for me. it was up yesterday

[Toast69420]

@c0tt0nc4ndy down for me rn aswell :<

[picturesque]

@c0tt0nc4ndy @Toast69420 The website will be down until further notice

[picturesque]

VRChive's server webhook's just got hijacked once again, so the website will probably be down for a day or more. I'll keep everyone up to date

[picturesque]

Update: the webhooks seem to be taken care of, so hopefully the site's downtime will be back up tomorrow.

[Kur0m1S4N]

"Why are we here? Just to suffer??"

[picturesque]

UPDATE: The website owner said I'll probably be back up around Monday

[Airi]

So what's the lore behind the poop incident anyway? How did they manage to yoink it like that

[picturesque]

@Sorreh Someone decompiled the .exe from their post tool, which contained their webhooks. Which the code of their exe was poorly written, ended up making it easy to grab and spam all those shock images.

[GreenySauce01]

it is monday my dudes!

[picturesque]

UPDATE: At 4:49 AM, the VRChive website owner said that the ETA for the website to be back up has now turned into "probably in a few days." So the site will be down longer than expected.

[qwerpoiu]

what was that images?

[picturesque]

Finally sort of a good UPDATE: The website is ready to deploy but for right now they are testing and ensuring it works properly, while on the other hand they are:

• Improving the security with Bot Protections
• Better Control
• requiring Verified Phone Numbers for the Discord
• Implementing Slowmode to limit the amount of messages a person can send
• Some new improved features didn't say exactly what those include

to the server, so hey progress is progress, right?

@picturesque
Do we have an estimated time of when it'll be back up? Thank you in advance!
