Before we begin, please understand that we are simply a group of friends who do this as a hobby. We have continuously released content in almost all of the allowed sections. From PS3 to eBooks, 0DAY to SVCD. We've been through a lot of changes throughout the decade we have been active. We will begin the story by introducing the first of two people. "Cracker A" was recruited around 6 months ago, under the recommendation of other respected scene groups. We are holding back from name dropping for good reason, we don't want to cause any further drama. As a group we didn't have much experience within the GAMES section. Due to the nature of our group, when the opportunity arose, we took it. After all we are WaLMaRT.. Wal-Mart sells everything, we release everything. Cracker A began making cracks for us and people were impressed with our releases. Then came the first nuke, in this case stolen.tools, tools which were supposedly created by the group COGENT. We cleared this up in the following NFO. READNFO: Gunpoint.READNFO-WaLMaRT Here we explained that we only used public sources for the release, those can be found publicly here; - github.com/SteamRE/open-steamworks After clearing this up we took extra caution to ensure that all releases were legitimate and no stolen tools were used to crack any of the releases. Cracker A shared all of the source codes for the the tools, this led us to believe nothing strange was going on. This is where we introduce Cracker B. The guy was very well spoken and appeared to be very skilled. He was able to patch CEG games for us in a fast and efficient manor. He claimed to be an ex member of Two other groups, which he backed up by sharing their tools with us. - SteamStub Unpacker Enigine 0.4 Win 8 Version - Origin Unpacking Dumping Engine 0.2 These tools included an icon with a Razor logo, so we can only assume they came from there. None of these tools were used in any of our release, we were making our own. Cracker B was purely showing off the fact that he was in possession of these tools. After some time we received another nuke, this time concerning suspicions that the release was stolen from a P2P source. - SpellForce.Platinum.Edition-WaLMaRT -- serial.stolen.from.web i40.tinypic.com/nfjx3.png After addressing Cracker A about the nuke it came to light that the serial was actually standard with all GOG versions of the game, view the proof here: http://pastebin.com/0ErYbHkS http://oi44.tinypic.com/1570rko.jpg http://oi40.tinypic.com/2vb31ag.jpg Tensions were high in the group after the nuke and the member was soon banned. He has since moved on to another group with Cracker B. Something we later found out. Now we've just received another nuke for: - Train.Simulator.2014.Steam.Edition-WaLMaRT -- crack.crashes_game.stolen.from.p2p_imgur.com.OcmMUpJ After looking into it, it's obvious that a P2P source has been used in this instance. We must stress that we were always under the impression that the cracker was buying these out of his own pocket. Both users are no longer affiliated with our group in any shape or form. They have been purged from our affiliate sites and the site-ops have been informed of what's been going on. It's quite clear that we have been very naive with putting our trust into this person. After watching him work (something we practice for quite some time after we recruit a new member, which isn’t often at all) and witnessing him login to multiple steam accounts filled with hundreds of games, it is fair to say we became complacent. We feel it's important to stress the fact that the person in question was also vouched for by various other groups/respected crackers. After a while we stopped checking the legitimacy of his sources based on the assumption that he was purchasing them through steam. Our reputation has been tarnished and there's no avoiding that. However, we have learnt our lesson. We can only hope that the group this person has moved to will take something from this notice; you know who you are. Please contact us if you feel the need. We can only apologize for the stolen releases, if we had known at the time they would not have been released. We have NEVER and will NEVER knowingly use P2P sources for our releases and we will take extra caution from now on. As you see 99% of our releases include proof. Thank you for reading this wall of text. We've been as honest as we can without putting people at risk. -+- -//- g r o u p g r e e t s -\\- -+- :. .: :: VOMiT - DOCUMENT - EAT - BRD - AiR - FiCO :: :: XFORCE - VACE - RAiN - COLLATERAL :: :' `: -+- -//- g r o u p i n f o -\\- -+- :. .: :: We are currently looking for: :: :: - secure, 100mbit+ affil sites :: :: - suppliers on TV and 0day depts :: :: - DVD/BluRay suppliers :: :: - hardware suppliers :: :: - game crackers/suppliers :: :: - programmers/coders for tools :: :: :: :: Think you got what it takes to join WaLMaRT? :: :' Contact us at [email protected] `: :: :: '::. .::' :: :: :: ____ ____ :: :' ) ( ': ' W A L M A R T 2 0 1 3 ' ' (_________ _________) . )| |( . _//| |\\_ + + | | . . ; : . : : - --+-- . - --+-- - ! . : . : . . !
