Hacking of EarthMC

On January 22nd 2020, EarthMC experienced extreme hacking from two people staff believe. The hackers somehow got the admin controls and started teleporting everyone in the server online to London and started bombing the place, leaving the place grieved badly. One of the hackers even managed to get admin controls on the EarthMC discord and started banning a few people, also temporarily removing Fix and KarlofDuty's roles on the discord. The server is now getting a rollback and is going to be down for 48 hours to fix the hack two horrible people have done to the server. The hacker even posted a video on youtube showing the hacking of EarthMC. This is the worst hacking EarthMC has ever had to go through in its existence. It was originally thought that over 700,000 IPs were leaked, however many later disproved this as a rumour.

It was originally thought that over 700,000 IPs were leaked, however many later disproved this as a rumour. The users spammed their YouTube and Twitter links in chat. There were numerous calls for Mods to come, and they told everyone to log off to avoid being IP leaked.
