7 Notorious Video Game Hacks

The Mirai Botnet and Minecraft Minecraft players often created private servers to build custom worlds. Some servers made thousands of dollars each month. But trouble arose when a botnet called Mirai appeared. It used thousands of infected computers to attack these servers. Players couldn’t connect, and server owners lost money. The attackers even demanded ransoms to stop attacking. Rumors spread that rival servers, which remained untouched, might have been behind it. The hacker behind Mirai was a college student from New Jersey. He was caught and faced community service and millions in fines.
