Someone was able to change my name in the game to "IDIOT" while I was playing. I asked them to change it back in chat and it got reverted back to my original name! Is anyone else aware that this can happen?!
I don't have any details on how they were able to do this but I felt like it is nessisary to inform you that some players can do this!

Given that this is a game about Hacking though, and since I don't know what transpired, I'd be remiss if I dismissed this completely.

There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that can read binary, and those that cant.
Re: Hackers Changing Other People's Names
I forgot to mention somethings:
1.) I had already changed my name once (So when I tried to revert it I couldnt)
2.) I don't know who changed it but it occurred in Russian chat
3.) I was online the whole time during the event (which means no other device that I own was online to change it)
After doing some thinking I believe someone might have been able to spoof a name changing request to the Hacker's unity server (I can't confirm this but I also think that the game prevents you from clicking "change name" more then once but doesn't actually stop more then 1 request)

Have passed this on for review, just to be sure. Thanks for the report.SavSec wrote:I forgot to mention somethings:

Re: Hackers Changing Other People's Names
Thanks a lot for the report! Just, please, next time, specify your ingame name with a bug report, that saves us a lot of time 
Anyway, I think I managed to find what happened in the server logs... Interesting... Obviously it is not a desired behavior
But I should now have all the info I need to debug it and hopefully find a way to prevent it, thank you very much
