Old lawsuit against some person

Fri May 15, 2009 11:25 am

Hey guys. I remember seeing a scanned lawsuit against some kid who used cheating programs (I think?) and allegedly caused massive financial damage to the site a few years ago, I think. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

I remember seeing a scanned letter of TNT demanding some kid send a formal apology for causing a lot of trouble on the site; I don't know if we're talking about the same person? I can't seem to remember his username, though.

All I know about this is that I once saw an article about kids with ungodly internet powers in an old issue of either Fortune or PC magazine, and one of the people mentioned in the article was a boy who hacked into/cheated on Neopets when he was surprisingly young (before moving on to bigger venues, I suppose). I doubt I'd be able to find the article among the dozens of copies of those magazines lying around my house, though.

Sounds really familiar.

Gworsh I remember this although I can't remember where I read about it.

Hmmm, it was something to do with the javascript bug a while back I believe. The person kept emailing me to pass on information to Neopets to fix which I did. Neopets never fixed them though so this person just went ahead and exploited these bugs so Neopets would patch it straight away.

I probably still have the emails archived.
