A Star Wars Galaxies community server was allegedly hacked with AI assistance by a Reddit moderator harboring a primeval grudge
PC Gamer · 2026-08-30
The "Legends" community server for the game *Star Wars Galaxies* was allegedly hacked by Levarris, a moderator of the game's subreddit, using AI tools to decrypt client-side game asset files. This gave Levarris access to custom content like items and questlines, which he then reportedly offered to other servers. The server's development team confirmed the incident, stating that no player data or personal information was accessed. Levarris claims his motivation stems from a "primeval grudge" dating back approximately 14 years, alleging that some Legends developers used a "honeypot" scheme to acquire and hoard official dev tools from Sony Online Entertainment without sharing them with the wider community. The subreddit community largely condemned the action, expressing frustration over the harm caused to the *Star Wars Galaxies* community.
