china does get a bad wrap but they seem to be at the forefrunt of a
lot of the goings on these days saying that they make all the
computers and other things they basically have taken over most of the world.
wouldn't make sence to get anymore.

hi aprone,
since most of these hackers are chinese maybe they chinese
government offers free hacking courses for these people
since now you are a potential target for them especially after
swampnet you probably should consider getting a firewall or
something for your other computers
you should also probably patch all important security holes through
windows update asap
you also should probably specificly block those hacker's ip
addresses from gaining access to your other pcs
anyway, hope the hackers don't mess up swamp or your pcs

Dark,
From sighted indie games of my past, I'm used to the idea of
hackers trying to ruin everyone's fun, so that doesn't upset me as
much as others might think. Yeah it does annoy me, but I don't
take it quite as personal as maybe I should, just because I've
seen it for so many years.
What does get under my skin is that several of the Swamp
hackers have changed tactics over the past 4 or 5 months, and they
go after my personal property. In fact, in just the past few
weeks with the new testing server up I've had 2 pretty big attacks
that were aimed at damaging my laptop, not Swamp! I highly doubt
these people are smart enough to be developing these attacks
themselves, rather they probably find shady websites and download
tools to make these attacks for them, but that doesn't change the
situation very much. The last one was an attack I've personally
never seen before. The automated attack went through each of the
devices in my local LAN and spammed them with a huge list of
common login names and passwords, hoping they'd get luck on one of them.
This is the kind of stuff that could eventually ruin
multiplayer audio games just like most multiplayer mainstream
indie games have happen to them. The problem is that while
mainstream indie games continue to come out by the hundreds and
thousands, audio games trickle in at a very slow pace. We simply
cannot afford to see a day when 95% of them are crushed by hackers
as soon as they get popular. I don't have a plan to solve this
issue, but I sure hope someone does.

Hi aprone.
I can imagine hackers trying to muck up the game to cheat,
but to do it simply to cause trouble is down right scummy,
particularly because it's likely these hackers are probably
visually impared themselves since they wouldn't have heard
of the game otherwise, which makes it doubly pathetic given
that swamp is one of only a few accessible games of this
type.
it's a shame your Ai can't give them a really nasty virus in
return, ---- the T virus would suit very well! :D.
sorry, resident evil joke there.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
