A subset that might have slightly rustled jimmies.
I didn't miss that. I am well aware of the fact that on Goonswarm's privately held, third party service, they have the ability to send pings out to their members. Once again, these pings were sent to individuals from a third party service, not affiliated with EVE Online or CCP Games. So, I don't think I missed it, my post should quite clearly lay out how this exact thing is once again, outside of CCP Games and EVE Online, and therefore outside of CCP Games control. Heck, if anyone in Goonswarm wants to ping out my IP address right now, I couldn't stop them from doing it. But, then again, I didn't try to hack together a pitiful spy attempt and get rused. |

Who cares. They only send them to people who have already given their permission for it to happen.

You can't talk for CCP (they also track IP addresses as do the vast majority of company sites on the internet in one form or another) and there is nothing they can do in any case. Nor are they responsible for it.
It's just hysteria from people who don't understand the technology so think automatically there is something wrong with it. |

EVE Online is literally famous for these types of things in bloc wars. Right now, EVE is getting more press than Donald Trump between VR/Valkyrie and this war, let it roll baby. |

Im just arguing with Daxley trying to suggest that this has nothing to do with the game... Whether CCP agrees with this or not is upto them.

so what do you want CCP to do? Goonswarm Federation and its non-playing members will continue to do this over third party services.

Remember that whenever you have a bad day in EVE, the correct reponse is "Thank you CCP, may I please have another?"

Yup. These sorts of shenanigans will appeal to a great many gamers. Heck, it was a combination of reading about the Guiding Hand Social Club and reports on B-R5RB that drew me in.

We can neither confirm nor deny such underhanded activities. If we had spies, what would CCP do if they were caught and identified?

CCP can't prevent it, they can't even track that its happening, people are using external web services to facilitate this, i mean hell i could drop a funny cat picture in jita local and then immediately log all of the IP's of people who clicked the link, there is absolutely nothing CCP can do about this nor would they even know i was doing it, traffic logs are enabled on pretty much any web server and are useful for a great many things, i mean by default the server is told things like your IP, OS version, browser version and there are other things you can find out with the right sort of code, just look at things like cookies
But i digress, CCP can tell you that something is bad but they are unable to prove it happened and they are unable to tell if said thing is even going on |

Please keep in mind that Goonswarm is not only a space guild, but also an IT infrastructure. Comparing IP addresses is a basic strategy to identify double accounts, bots, spammers, or otherwise bad guys on any forum worth it's salt. It's not illegal and in my book it's also not immoral.
CCP will use this method as well to identify your main account if you do bad things with an alt for example, and then ban you.
Look at it the other way: A Spy in goonswarm will leak information from a non public forum and jabber to third parties. This also happens outside of the game, and were it not for the game, I'd consider this highly immoral, and probably illegal in some countries. If you think trying to find the guy by all means this infrastructure provides is immoral, please think again.
Using an IP address to confirm that someone is a certain user of your own IT infrastructure is not only legal (except maybe in Texas), as said user does freely provide his IP address to the services he uses, but also crucial to maintain a basic level of security. Welcome to the internet. |

The spy in question used the Goonswarm forum as his director persona, and he opened a document located on the same servers as his "whistleblower" persona, allowing for the two to be identified as the same user. No dedicated IP loggers were involved. But sure, if you feel like it, go ahead. I think you overestimate what you can do with an IP address.
If you want, I'll let you know mine. Just send an Eve-Mail. |

The decision to broadcast the IP address of the spy in question was actually the thing that crossed the line here. There was no reason that information should have been made public, period. |

That is indeed a bit flaky. It's nothing CCP or anyone but the victim can do anything about, though. If he feels he has been wronged, he can bring it before a court. But then he'll have to explain what he was doing there as well.
It's a bit like suing someone for assault after breaking into his home - possible, but most likely not the smartest thing to do. |

Yet, the IP of the server is publicly known. See - the internet does not work without IP addresses. Communication cannot happen and a service will not work unless the IP addresses of both the client and the server are known to each other.
It's not finding out IP addresses that's a problem, it's what you do with them. Finding out that someone has a certain IP address is not a problem, neither is using that IP to identify someone breaking the rules. Flooding said IP with requests till the connection cannot keep up is. Now - if that had happened, though, this would be a topic for the law authorities, not for CCP or the Eve community. But it has not.
It's like if you came to me and said "Hi, I'm John Doe" and I was all like "Oh, you are the same John Doe that always keeps sending me creepy stalker loveletters, get the **** away from me!".
Simply by posting here, you make your IP address known to the people running this forum (CCP), and they will use it to identify you if they have reason to believe you are in violation of their rules somewhere. And it's likely somewhere in the Terms of Service you agreed to as well, same as it is on the Goonswarm Webservices:
Quote:Log files are maintained and analysed of all requests for files on this website's web servers. Log files do not capture personal information but do capture the user's IP address, which is automatically recognised by our web servers. |

Well In Europe your IP counts as a personal info. He had every right to do what he did, legally, but in Germany posting his IP would be a crime. Goonswarm isn't a business so there are no business infos. I have no problems with identifying some traitor while both are using out of game programs but posting the IP was simply wrong!
BTW: I think it's really bad style to post private logs. As the name tells you, they are not for the public without both sides accepting it.

a bit off-topic:
when connecting to Ventrilo / TS / Mumble server you provide your real IP address to server holder. That passes through many conventional methods to hide your IP address.
so  think twice when your CORP insist on voicecomms attendance.

Now this is a juicy thread indeed.
I for one do not particularly like the goons but I have respect for them, they are a cunning group at times. What they did to oust the traitor was fair play in my opinion but the sharing and posting of I.P addresses is a dirty tactic for sure.
Then again its the goons, are they not infamous for this sort of thing?

lol (and I mean that) This is why you don't trust third party websites unless sanctioned by CCP
since CCP has a business contract with us, their staff cannot be involved in leaking our information
if they do they are pecuniarily libel and subject to legal action - with a digital footprint they cannot erase
Why do you think that Mittani site exists? Who are these Reddit people? Do they owe you security?
CCP does. They're under contract to you.
