Bohemia Interactive has confirmed an attack on its servers, with a hacker posting screenshots of what he claims to be DayZ source code on a game-hacking forum.
Though the original forum thread has now been removed, it has since been mirrored on Reddit. A user going by the name DevDomo posted a slew of screenshots of what he claimed to be the survival-shooter's source code files, as well as a brief description of how he accessed the servers.
Bohemia Interactive confirmed to Rely on Horror that an attack had been "detected," and that "the precise nature and scope of this attack is currently being extensively investigated."
Bohemia assures that no user data was accessible on the attacked servers, and that the ongoing development schedule has not been affected.
Nevertheless, the situation is worrying as it may open up the possibility of new hacks and exploits becoming available for DayZ. IGN will be keeping an eye on future developments.
DayZ started life as a hugely popular ArmA 2 mod. Its standalone release is now in the early-access development stage, and has already passed 2 million sales.
