Just before the regular downtime today, we discovered an exploit. Due to this we decided to extend the downtime until the exploit could be fixed, and any damage caused by it be reversed. We were successful in both these goals and Tranquility is now back up and running.
We could not disclose the true nature of the extended downtime, as that might have notified the exploiters. We hope you accept our apologies for the vague announcement, and for any inconvenience this extended downtime may have caused you.

Our policy is not to discuss exploits, but be assured that it was fixed and the exploiters has been dealt with by our friendly neighbourhood GMs.

I'm curious to see what lengths people go to in this game to try and be better and more succesful. If you can't tell us what the exploit was, can you tell us what they were gaining? ... or what others were losing?
No, only that whatever anyone gained was removed, and it didn't involve anyone losing anything.

Translation:
"We realized that the enemies of our friends in an undisclosed alliance had found a haxploit we installed for use by previously mentioned friends. Since haxploiting is not acceptable (except when used by our friends), we had to install new logging features and punish the haxploiters (not our friends, our friends' enemies). However, since we are not removing the haxploit itself (we care about our friends), we can't disclose the nature of the haxploit."
(Warning: Above text may contain heavy doses of sarcasm, and doesn't necessarily reflect the opinion of my alliance, my corp, or even myself.)
No, it means we have fixed the exploit and dealt with the ones who exploited, but we don't discuss exploits. Which is just what was written in my post.

I think the issue with wanting to know what the exploit was falls into the category of many wanting to make certain that neither they, their friends, their corporation, or their alliance was the victim of the exploit and that CCP just happened to miss it in their case.
Ok then, no one, no ones friends, no corporations or alliances were the victim of this exploit. We have had Devs and GMs dealing with this and all consequences of the exploit was reversed.

there was no exploit that is the reason they are not telling us about it.
What really happened is the DEV and GM team all decided to go to the PUB for a few hours.
And since they cant leave the server running while no one is there they turned it off.
why else does Wrangler's breath smell like Whiskey even on the forums.
I use it purely for medicinal purposes!!
