How to Hurt the Hackers: The Scoop on Internet Cheating and How You Can Combat It. An interesting article on how games will always be hacked and how you can beat it. Reminds me of the things I keep saying about building social software at the Beeb. We can’t protect against everything we need to build stuff that watches for the attacks and/or malicious behaviour and then finds ways to convince the offender that they have succeeded when in fact they haven’t. Always keep them on your radar, don’t block them or ban them, have systems in place so you can keep an eye on them. I’m mostly thinking here about social software and those who are trying to misuse the systems, game them.
