Someone Who Isn't Me - Breaking into Blizzard's Control Center

[Aerolon]

Hypothetically, if a friend of a friend were able to pack enough heat to get past the security guards, what could he do once inside the Headquarters? Aside from stealing the servers, of course. Which he will do upon entry. If this someone were to wear a disguise and possibly roll with his gang, could he make hypothetical profit? Mud on the license plates would of course mask their getaway.

Oh and this someone is DEFINITELY not me.

I like church and bibles and shit.

Opinions, advice, and input wanted.

[Verye]

Most likely, you wouldn't gain that much.

I'd recommend breaking into a computer security firm, not Blizzard.

But if you were to break into Blizzard and knew what you were looking for, you could, in theory, before the police arrived, cause some serious havoc.

Unbanning accounts? Sure. Just tell Mr. AA Supervisor there to step aside.

Shutting down the servers? Of course. Just press the big red button and they'll all go down.

But could you actually make a monetary profit? I doubt it.

You could technically get the server source data, but you'd most likely have to download that on an external device...

And keep in mind that their actual servers are not located in their headquarters. In the US, there are 4 different server hubs. One in Boston, one in Los Angeles, one in Dallas, and one in Seattle.

How do I know all this, you may ask?

Well, I'm the WoW Lawyer. Never underestimate my knowledge.

"OH MY GOD PLEASE DONT DO IT"

Felt like that was the reaction you were looking for.

They just doubled their security upon hearing this.

Blizzard's security has been pyroblasted by your friend's friend for 284823 damage.

They'd probably just catch him jacking off in their office. Because when you think you can pyroblast in real life then you need to get checked up.

Water + Hard drives = weee!


But seriously, I would give a good slap to the GM's that dont even log on to answer tickets, but press the auto responses for actual problems.

This has to be one of the worst ideas I've heard in a while....lol

For some reason, I really don't think the WoW / battlenet servers are light enough to pick up and simply walk out with..

[sammccrary]

reddox i disagree i think they would weight fairly little lol

[Festigio]

Blizzard has A secret program that Makes monsters, such as, MURLOCS, KAZZAK, AND EVEN.... LEEROY go from pixels to real, living creatures that are ready for battle. Watch out!
