The Scroll suffers complete code and data breach

Hackers used one line of code to get everything

November 11, 2022 — The Scroll reported today that hackers have made off with all source code and data from the company.

Apparently the one line bash command below allowed hackers worldwide to make off with everything:

git clone https://github.com/breck7/wws && cd wws && npm install --omit=dev && sudo npm install --omit=dev -g . && wws fetch pldb scroll breck news zombo wifinder public

Sources say this hacker, seen here potentially escaping to Venice via Gondola, wrote the code that allowed anyone to download a copy of all the company's source code.

The company is currently investigating reports that the hackers had now gone even further and were sending commits, meaning even more data and code is at risk. Updates will be posted here.
