Desolate: Well, it's been a week since Pfps closed and Reflection gave us a scare. Thoughts?
Agentneck: We need to find these hackers.
CagedHostilePigeon: Agreed.
Desolate: Obviously. Any more hidden messages anywhere?
Agentneck: Not that I've seen.
I_Like_Top_Gun: Does anyone else find it odd that Magnus promoted us and told us to not let anyone into the club?
Agentneck: Nope. It's extra security.
CagedHostilePigeon: What happened to sussing on everything?
Magnus: Yes, it's for security purposes. I'm afraid someone might find out and alert their buddies to our investigation antics. And I think someone hacked my account.
Desolate: Should you make me owner so they can't take over the club?
Magnus: Probably. Make me admin so people won't get demoted.
Desolate: What about kick-attacking?
Magnus: I don't think the attackers want to destroy clubs.
Agentneck: Oh, Desolate. Remember that "other reason" we can't tell staff? What is it?
*Magnus makes Desolate owner of Chess.org vs. ChessChild and CVC HQ*
Desolate: I shouldn't say it if the attackers could see it.
*Desolate makes Magnus admin in Chess.org vs. ChessChild and CVC HQ*

Kaleb341: Okay, everybody! Just because we're pretty sure there's a bunch of people attempting to hack this site doesn't mean we can't enjoy it during the time it's safe! I'm hosting a Christmas tree contest! One second while I make the forum.
CagedHostilePigeon: That's exciting!
FreeDove: Why is Desolate owner and Magnus admin?
Magnus: Security reasons.

Frost: GOSH DARN IT
Frost: I'VE BEEN MADE
Frost: Hack Desolate now.
Midnight 1: We've tried but she has excellent security.
Frost: Well then keep trying
Frost: I did not spend months planning this and hiring people just to get defeated by some guy who found out he got hacked.
Frost: Just send The Message now.
Midnight 1: That's not a good idea.
Frost: Send it now.

Midnight 1: Release the contingency. We have to save The Message for December 30.
Midnight 2: Yes sir!

TomCruise_33: Guys, does your homepage have the words "You are at fault" all across the background?
Desolate: Yeah. That's weird.
Agentneck: It's an attack. Is the DDoS coming early?
Magnus: I'll try to find something for us to go off of.
Agentneck: Ik CC staff is probably working on it already but I'll try and help them out.
Daniel777: Hey guys
I_Like_Top_Gun: Are you...
Daniel777: Yes. StubbyToe was a bit immature. I saw an attack was happening and decided to come help out.
Desolate: Do you know about the announcement messages?
Daniel777: Yeah. We can talk later. Agent, what do you plan on doing?
Magnus: I found "FrostedWindow" embedded somewhere and there's an account called FrostedWindow here. It was banned December 31, 2018, if that helps.
Desolate: Welp. Everyone sit down.

Frost: STOP DESOLATE
Frost: I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES, STOP HER NOW
In the notes of Chess.org vs. ChessChild
Desolate: The hackers already know about us. It won't do any harm to spill more beans.
Desolate: Way back in the year 2018, on December 31, FrostedWindow posted an AMA. Someone by the username "Cookiedough" asked him if he celebrated National Eat A $20 Cookie Day, and Frost began swearing at him for no reason. (yes, I witnessed this)
Desolate: FrostedWindow was banned but came back with a new account named "FrostyWindow", swearing vengeance on Chess.com for banning him. That account was banned a day later. In 2023, Frost decided to attempt a DDoS attack against the site. His attack was stopped by AmazingDaniel (I suspect he's Daniel777). We know it was him because he hacked support and sent emails to everyone identifying himself as the attacker.
Desolate: IDK much about this attack, but he can impersonate staff and attempt to force malware onto your computer through DMs. (Magnus, Agent, Daniel, care to explain?) That's why I didn't want to say anything. If they know we know, that's a big disadvantage to us.
Agentneck: Sooooooooooooooooo now what?
Desolate: We make a plan to stop them. IDK how seeing as they have access to Magnus's account and we don't know if anyone here is a traitor, but we'll figure out something.
Agentneck: My thoughts exactly, which is why I asked.
Desolate: Maybe we could try to contact them and talk them out of attacking the site?
Agentneck: Ha
Agentneck: Unlikely
Desolate: I'll start brainstorming. I do have one idea though...
Agentneck: What?
Desolate: It's crazy.
Agentneck: Tell us.
Desolate: We have to recruit the OTFers.
