Many of you may know CheekyJay, he is the owner of the popular private server Atlantic Penguin. Well, there’s some not-so-good news reguarding him.
CheekyJay was the main conspirator in a “hacking” group named “The Hippos“. CheekyJay was the person who wanted to start the group, and had the group organized.
One of many of CheekyJay’s acts during The Hippos was he sent around a download link that he claimed was “Atlantic Penguin source”, when the user would open the file a remote access trojan (or RAT) would be installed on their computer. This RAT would give CheekyJay complete access to your computer. and also install a keylogger on your computer, which would allow him to see every password you put in your computer from then on.
The terrible thing about what he was doing is that he was just targeting innocent people. They were messing with people – who didn’t do anything to them. He was terrorizing people who did nothing to him – for fun. What he was doing was an invasion of privacy, and in America you can be brought to court for hacking into computers.
Through the keylogger installed on his victom’s computers, CheekyJay would then be able to see every single password to sites that they logged into, so then he would log into his victom’s forums, blogs, and emails and sabotage them. Some examples of where CheekyJay & his accomplices sabotaged websites can be found here and here. Here’s a screenshot of a forum sabotaged by The Hippos:
Here’s proof, with CheekyJay discussing with The Hippos, in a Skype chat (click to enlarge)
After confrontation, CheekyJay has also admitted it to me on Skype.

CheekyJay wasn’t the only person who was a “Hippo”, as you can see above Andrew, (from Atlantic Penguin) Timmyboi, Jedu, iRocky, Drake, and Chai were all Hippos at one point.
It’s just disgusting how someone who is responsible for thousands of accounts on his own private server, could then illegal hack into innocent people’s computer who had done NOTHING wrong to him.
CheekyJay has been removed as an author from CPPSHQ because of his actions in “The Hippos”.

What they did was plain wrong.Just like someones uncle and dad got status changed my sisters too and MOM. like who would put your cool and pretty ON my moms page? Ok off topic but yeah they should be brought to court one way or another. They completely hacked my computer.
Its such as you read my thoughts! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the ebook in it or something. I feel that you could do with some p.c. to power the message house a little bit, however instead of that, this is wonderful blog. An excellent read. I will certainly be back.
