Why are you.. outraged? Clearly allowing this attack was a mistake. Overriding functions is a language feature, so you'd have to think of the risk to think to block it.
- tomc1985 10y agoOutraged? C'mon now. Shocked with disbelief maybe? Because that is such an obvious attack vector that it is hard to believe Bnet allowed it. It's very hard to enforce language-level restrictions (like which functions may run when) when they can be circumvented with reflection. Besides, Bnet's WoW client code has been known to be janky, and their entire security setup seems to only care about protecting the business, and not users. Bnet is the only online gaming service where I have had multiple accounts hacked that I could not trace to any specific doxing/pw dump event... forcing me to conclude that their security infrastructure is absolute garbage
