It has come to my attention that the release of the SA-MP source code could be used to jeopardize the security of all SA-MP clients because the release contains cryptographic information. I have decided to close down the SA-MP services until an assessment of all potential threats to the SA-MP userbase is complete.
Information
I'd like warn the SA-MP players of some recent events which will no doubt effect the future of SA-MP and has made it very difficult for us to continue to develop this mod.
This is an appeal for help to any party that would like to assist us in taking action against those bent on destroying this mod and all of the hard work that has gone in to it.
A former developer who was on the team for around 2 months who goes by the name of Jacob decided to form a group called ZYRONIX. It appears the purpose of this group was to leak the SA-MP source code online. During some time yesterday a person called zyronix, who appears to be Jacob himself, appeared online and starting giving out torrents to the source code he had access to.
The source comes with a README that states the following:
Originally a closed-source project, ZYRONIX aims to
benefit the open-source and GTA Modding communities.
WEB: http://zyronix.net
EMAIL: team@zyronix.net
Perhaps the saddest part of this particular release is that all of the copyright notices are removed. That means we do not get any credit in the source code for the years of work we have put in. All credits of this code are given to the group Zyronix.
I'm sure any open source group would be appalled by the conditions SA-MP has been open sourced under. And I'm also sure the modding community as a whole is not interested in benefiting at someone else's expense.
After overviewing the released source code myself, I can only see one group that would benefit from this release and that is the GTA online cheating community. It makes any attempt by us to combat cheats in the future pointless unless we are to redesign the entire code base.
A quick lookup for this domain zyronix.net that takes credit for the source code leak I find the registrant of the domain:
TRC Roofing and Siding
3811 Rogers Avenue
Fort Smith, Arkansas 72901
United States
479-561-9572
479-287-9459
email: cmcjacob@gmail.com, jacob@trcroofingandsiding.com
If it is true that TRC Roofing and Siding is responsible then we could take action against them. Since much of the SA-MP source is not specific to GTA, I'm estimating monetary loss in the order of $200,000.
I'm currently searching for more information about this TRC Roofing and Siding and what role this company has played in the leak of the SA-MP source code. If anyone can find more info about TRC Roofing and Siding or the former developer Jacob, please forward this information to team@sa-mp.com. If you would like to offer us any legal assistance with this matter, please do email us also.
