@flightrising we broke the site, is this an achievement or a pursuit

Update: Emergency Maintenance

Saturday, April 1, 2023 07:54 Server Time

The emergency maintenance is concluded. The site will reopen shortly and be monitored throughout the day. At this time we have no reason to believe player or staff information was compromised by the attempted XSS attack. It is safe for you to log into your accounts. We will have a standalone update on this issue for you later today.

Hi, web dev here. Be kind to the FR staff.

I won't get into a lotta jargon about the attacks and how they work, so I'll make this pretty short. There are many different ways cross-site scripting attacks like this can occur, and although web developers are morally (and legally) obligated to protect our users to the best of our abilities, these things do happen.

FR staff made the right call; situations like these can be very dangerous. They have to revisit the CORS policy and other precautions of the FR website before they can make the site live again, and it can take a long time to ensure everything is safe and secure.

Fortunately, most "hackers" online are actually script kiddies. That is, they're fools who try to make easy money at the expense of others by downloading scripts from the deep web, running them without knowing how they work, and hoping they make some dough. Regardless of intent or the competency of the people responsible, the damage it can do is not something to take lightly. Things you can do to protect yourself: 1. As soon as FR is back online, change your password. 2. Change the password to the email account you use for FR. 3. Make sure all passwords are lengthy and unique. 4. If you make online purchases, make sure they are made through secure networks and websites with https certificates.

And please, please, do not hound the FR staff, pressure them to hurry up, or point fingers. Most of the time, a specific person or source cannot be pinpointed, as attackers cover their tracks. This is an extremely high stress situation, and their business will take a massive hit. This takes time, and this takes money.

I'm open to questions, so hmu.

Update: Emergency Maintenance

Hello everyone! We have another update for you regarding today's emergency maintenance.

This was an attempted XSS attack. We were able to interrupt the attacker while they were in the middle of probing for vulnerabilities in our site's defenses. At this time, we have no reason to believe that player or employee information is compromised by this attempt.  If you are concerned about financial information, Flight Rising does not store any of your financial information. All gem purchases are handled by either Paypal or our credit card processor, Braintree.

In the interest of the security of the Flight Rising website and our employees' well-being, we are keeping the site in the emergency curtains-down maintenance overnight. It's important that we monitor the site when we come out of maintenance and it's currently after 10 pm for much of our team. Tomorrow we will have more information for you about what happened today, along with an update on the Mistral Jamboree extension.

i love how FR players just absolutely LOVE making spreadsheets. cant swing a stick without hitting a spreadsheet or google form. data entry fandom

I present to you:

The spreadsheet I use to choose The Perfect Scene for every single dragon I have, with each scene rated on a scale of A (literal perfection) to E (it works but I don't have to be happy about it) for compatible dragons, which also allows me to conveniently track back-up options since I have a self-set limit of 5 copies of each scene that I refuse to change now

Also featuring:

The tabs in my design spreadsheet

And the 6 further documents I use to track various aspects of the game and design

Trying to figure out how to draw their heads :3c

hc that aethers have a distinct accent from being isolated for so long

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

with each new pixel I make the dragon gets longer

This party animal was ordered by returning Zerkjo! The scales might have been a nightmare but man, it was worth it~
