The Coin-Op Council is a group of 4 anonymous hackers that worked against TriOptimum and other forms of Authority and Corporations. They have performed a series of attacks against TriOptimum.

History

On April 3rd, 2068 the Heartbreaker attack occurred by hacker group the Coin-Op Council. The group hacked into TriOptimum's company email and sent divorce papers to every executive in the company, citing infidelity as the cause. It created mass hysteria, particularly for those in space transit, which could not promptly call their significant other to verify if it was true.

On June 15th, 2069 the Double-Tap attack occurred. This hack came in two waves; phase one crashed the entire TriOptimum mainframe sending their engineers into a panic. When the technicians rebooted the system, phase two kicked in, and the hackers stole millions of admin codes. The damage is still being assessed as of 2077.

On January 6th, 2070 the Widow's Hourglass attack occurred. A visible timer appeared on TriOptimum's central mainframe after an attack was made. The countdown has been ticking up since the attack (at least as of 2077). The code that caused the attack cannot be found, and it seems to jump servers when a transfer is made. No one knows when it will stop and what will happen when it does.

Trivia

• It is unknown if the Hacker is part of this group or not.
