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!

Current naming conventions are not only local to your device, but name changes are also only allowed once per device! 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.
If you have a screenshot of this I'll be happy to shed some light on it as to what may have happened.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
