Just linking it so those of us (myself included) can stop whining asking for ccp to at least say something about it.

What is the exploit?
Cant discuss the details on these forums.
Basically there had been a ton of posts on the forums today about this, but they violated CCP's policy of discussing the specific nature of the exploit.
So I was simply posting the link to CCP's news item on it in hopes people would see it and not have to start a new thread about it. ;)

The exploit concerns Aperture Harmonics corp's (and thier supposedly GM sanctioned) use of the tracking penalty in a type C6 wormhole combined with tracking disrupting friendly ships to bork the tracking formula so hard that it actually produces guns capable of perfect tracking, range and hit chance (249.9km perfect hit Blasters anyone?) - the issue also affects damping (damping to reduce target range to <0km) and maybe some other effects apparently.
And...It really annoys me you have to go to another site to actually find this out. Like censorship really stops the exploiting/rage/annoyance at CCP from happening.
Thanks to Rooks and Kings for mentioning this on SHC. Broken mechanics used by a "clever" corp? Well I never...
CCP: YOU MAY TAKE AWAY MY POST BUT YOU CAN NEVER STOP THE TRUTH FROM COMING OUT. 
Newsflash moron, they arent trying to stop it getting out. Discussing exploits is against the forum rules hence the threads get locked, just as this one will now youve been stupid enough to post the details. If you really feel the need to jaw about a bunch of cheaters then theres plenty of unofficial forums to go do it on but please save us the trolling bull**** when the mods are just doing their jobs.
So far they've just been removing posts in this thread instead of locking it outright, which I thank them for.
And on the above note;
IMHO I believe the rule is so that people don't find out the details of the exploit on the forums then go use it for themselves before it is fixed. ;)

Alright, so I just read about the exploit and that people could potentially have been doing it for over a year, making incredible money. So now that they've confirmed it, and when they fix it in 3-30 months time, will anybody actually be banned, or at least have all the profits taken away?
Probably not because it seems they explicitly asked a GM if it was ok and he gave them permission. I wish CCP would give us some follow info on this point.
While we cant discuss details I can say that you didn't hear the full story. Basically the same people who said they were told it wasn't an exploit also said that later it came up again and they were told it WAS an exploit. And that they didn't use it again after that until recently where they did so only because they "thought" the other side knew about it and was going to use it against them.
If you search around a bit you can find info on this right from the mouths of those whom will remain nameless.
I'm not trying to defend CCP here, but instead just point out that most people only received half the story from certain published articles and other threads.
However, the main problem here is that it wasn't taken care of when it should have been.
