I'm In Desperate Need Of Help
THIS IS 100% SERIOUS. WE NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET
Story time:
Day 1:
7:30pm (Central)
We launched our server 4 days ago, and everything was running smoothly until 2 days ago. 2 days ago, everything had been running perfect. We had 30 people online and everything couldn't have been better when all of a sudden... BAM! everyone dies... At first I was like, "Ok... An admin must have accidentally done that." and then this repeated over a course of 30 seconds and it stopped. I checked, and none of our admins or players did this in the console. We gave everyone their items back and the problem went away. I went onto our server, and made sure all of our plugins were working (Keep in mind our server was 100% functional. We had beta testers for a whole month before launching, and our permissions were perfect.) and they were all fine. After that, I thought the problem had been fixed. Boy was I wrong.
Day 2:
7:15pm (Central)
The problem had gone away. We had about 20 people online and everything had been running fine.. When all of a sudden... BAM! Every single player on the server had been given Creative Mode. Now, I know all of our admins in person and know that they'd never do such a thing... We changed them back and they'd get changed right back. I look into our console to see who is doing this terrible thing and it's blank. It's as if no one did it. It's just happening. It eventually stopped and we carried on with our night. I looked back into the plugins and yet again, it was all perfect...
Day 3:
7:00pm (Central) by far the creepiest.
The problem started happening at about 7pm. Players were dying. But this time, whoever was doing this was spawning TNT and making it blow up, spawning ender crystals, and having them blow up and doing absolutely everything in their power to destroy our server. He was changing game-modes, and giving people TNT, and invisibility potions. Now I've never seen anything like this in my life.... I honestly thought it was a plugin problem... Until... The console banned EVERY. SINGLE. PLAYER. except for our admins on the server. By now, I had no idea what the hell was going on... when all of a sudden a message from /broadcast popped up saying that "I want 200 pounds or your server is going to die." I looked into the console, and nothing. It's black. No signs of any players sending the commands. Our admins are in the same skype call... Clueless. It went on for about an hour. Whoever this was knew our names, where we lived, and the school we went to. He had 100% access to our server and could delete anything he pleased. we've already removed all of our users from McMyAdmin and have changed every single password to everything. No luck. This is our last resort, as we don't know what to do. This guy is destroying everything. And I MEAN EVERYTHING.
We've tried everything... From deleting all of our users, to whitelistng the server. Whoever is doing this had 100% access. We can't stop him. He does what he pleases. Any command he types we can't see in the console. It's anonymous. We're running out of ideas and I can't trace his IP or anything, as he's from the UK.
If that isn't enough to convince you, here's a few videos of what happened...:
What Were Running:
McMyAdmin Professional
Bukkit 1.5.2 R1.0
8gb ram
x2 Xeon 2.4 Quad Core CPU's

This is 100% a hacker. When this happend to my server (now down), I changed the MOTD to a threat, saying : "If you keep hacking, I'll call the CyberPolice! It's illegal!" after that, they went away. IF that doesn't work, close the server down for a few days, so the hacker thinks he's discouraged you.
Find the hacker: If any of the people you know irl, people who were banned, ppl who hacked (in game).
Also, you could just trace the hacker... It must've left an IP address when it connected with your server

CyberPolice isn't going to work in this scenario... This guy is 100% anonymous. There is NO ip trace, and no sign that he is even on our console. There are just commands popping up. Message being displayed. I'm the only one with console access and I'm not sending the commands. This guy is crazy.
Bullshit. There is no possible way. When the console messaged you, it would have been in the Console with the IP of who sent it. Give me that IP and ill trace it and find your source hacker.
Trust me... there is no IP at all... There isn't even a player online who is sending the messages. I'll try to record a video of this. This is literally crazy. I have no idea how he is doing it but I promise I'm not lying.
