In these times of numerous breaches, the game’s developers did not secure their website, and have hence put at risk the details of the millions of users, who would not have suspected such lax security measures. Not maintaining updated patches is not the only fault in maintenance of the forum – it did not have the basic HTTPS – SSL certificates. This callous attitude has resulted in this massive breach that has exposed the details of forum users. This software was outdated, and Elex, the developer of the game, had not taken the basic security measures to patch the software with the latest updates.
The hacker found a vulnerability in the software used in this forum – the forum was using vBulletin software that had been released in 2013.
This forum has got hacked and details of approximately 1.6 million accounts have been stolen. Clash of Kings is a very popular mobile game with millions of avid players being members of its official forum.
