The Epic Eve Online Corporate Heist Unveiled.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Ars Technica

A long-time Eve Online player, Dave, used the game's corporate share voting system to take control of in-game assets worth tens of thousands of dollars from the Event Horizon Expeditionairies corporation (EHEXP), which he had founded in 2011. Dave's recent "hostile takeover" started as an attempt to reclaim assets from a corporation he felt had lost its way after it joined the massive Pandemic Horde alliance. The transfer of corporate control did not include a transfer of those 1,000 corporate voting shares, which Dave had earlier moved from a corporate wallet to his original character, Sienna d'Orion, for security.

Massive Heist in EVE Online Results in Stolen Assets and Currency Worth Thousands

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Ars Technica

Players of the game Eve Online took advantage of the game's corporate voting system to give themselves full control of an in-game corporation and an estimated $22,000 of in-game assets, all under the noses of absent corporate leadership. The heist relied heavily on a previous acquisition of 1,000 ownership shares, allowing the players to meet the 5% threshold to trigger the vote in the first place. The duo was able to drain the corporation wallet of 130 Billion ISK and gain control of ships and other in-game assets worth over 2 trillion more ISK.
