Phil DeLuca, Executive Producer of America's Army posted on the official forums warning hackers to stay away from the US Army's online war game:
By the way, there's something to consider in that statement that gets missed time and again: we took notice. By we, I mean the entire AA team. That includes Public Applications, Government Applications, Ignited Minds, everyone associated with the development of the project - and the United States Army.
That last fact should give some of the bad guys pause, and yet it hasn't. Some of you (and clearly the bad guys are among them) don't always remember that this game, and all accounts and derivative products, are the property of the United States Army. When you tamper with the game, not only are you breaking the EULA you're misusing Army property - and, worse, you're misusing US Army computer programs and equipment.
Tampering with software and servers owned or used by the Army is cyber crime.
In the early 1940's, Japan learned an important lesson - "let the sleeping giant lie." We may not react swiftly, but when we do it's with unstoppable force. The Army has partners that deal with cyber crime as a matter of course. These include not just various Army IT departments, but also the Department of Justice, the Secret Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
It's going to get uncomfortable for some of the bad guys, but you know what? They brought it on themselves. Knowing this anyone who continues to be bad is just plain foolish. Keep trying, though. Sooner or later the bad guy will realize we've known about him for a while... and by then it's too late.
Allow me to speak directly to the bad guys for a moment: When you get banned, know that we know and have records showing you were doing something that's a violation of terms of service, breaks your EULA, and also happens to be against the law. We know who you are, and can track down where you play from. We have incontrovertible proof you did something illegal. The Army is angry, and we're coming for you.

funniest part was the sleeping giant/japan one - i'd think that's something NOT to be proud of.

Eh? The challenge isn't any greater, just the supposed consequences.
Father: Son, the army has taken your mother and me hostage. Please turn off the hacks!
*sound of gag being replaced*
Colonel: Boy, this is Colonel Jimmy Smith of This Man's Army's "Anti-Brat" brigade. Now, I want you to put "teh hax" down, on the floor, and nobody gets hurt. Can you do that for me?
Hax0r: You want me to put the hacks on the... floor? How am I going to put them on the floor?
Colonel: Don't play stupid with me, boy! We know you have "teh hax"! Now: whatever they are, put them on the ground in front of you with the safety on!
Hax0r: Um, I don't know what you mean, but I can't actually put it on the floor. They're... um... intangible.
Colonel: Intangible? That ain't no word in God's English, boy! Corp Foster?
Cpl Foster: Hup?
Colonel: This boy is speaking in tongues. Must be a terrorist. Fire at will.
EDIT: gogo multi-punctuation
** CLICK, BANG **
Jackson: Man down!
Colonel: What was that? Did he just open fire on us?!
Cpl Wilson: Uh, no sir. That was Connelly. He accidentally shot Smith.
Colonel: Connelly? Tell him to put that gun down before he kills someone else!
Cpl Wilson: Will do, sir. Connelly! Put that gun-
** BANG BANG BANG **
Jackson: Man down!
Connelly: Sorry sir! I slipped, sir!
Colonel: For god's sake, son! Just give me that damned-
** BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG **
Thompson: Return fire!
** BANG BANG BANG BANG WOOOooo.... BOOM!! BANG BANG BANG **

* Teh_K1LL3R walks out of his front door to go to school. There are 200 dead soldiers out front. He backs away, goes back into the house and eats some vegemite toast.

Are you looking for the doughnuts thread, or are you seriously considering picking apart a US soldier to "get the raisins out"?

I think I peed in my pance a little bit.
That PA pic nearly killed me. "Say's he proud of ya"... arg, my spleen.
Colonel: Ok, MistahDeathKillah666, we see you're one of the best players in this little simulation of ours.
Haxor: Ololol, GENMAY!! YOU HAEV A FUNNEH HAT
Colonel: Don't be modest son. We need men like you in the field.
Haxor: Ol I am going to hax a bank with my warpack and scriptz
Colonel: Thats a damn fine goal son, but your country needs you. These boys over here *points to terrorist filled deathtrap on map* have been holding us to a standstill for weeks. We were going to carpet bomb the little... insurgents... but we need a better public image with the world. So we're going to send in an elite team to roust em out for good.
Haxor: LOL KEWWWWLLL!!11
Colonel: Your stats say you killed 453 men, each with a single shot to the head, in the space of 2 minutes and 30 seconds, without reloading. So we're sending YOU in.
Haxor: DOUBLE YOU TEE EFF???!?!?!??
Colonel: Well you could walk away, and by walk away I mean attempt to escape, and by attempt to escape I mean be shot on sight *sound of pistol being cocked*.
-cut to Blackhawk helicopter floating over insurgent central-
Sarge: Here's your M16, give em hell for Ol George, son! *push*
Haxor: OGM YOU FRICKIN LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMERRRRRRRRRRRSSSS!!!!!!!!
