> EVE is famously anything-goes, with corporations (EVE equivalent of guilds) being very careful about who they accept specifically to prevent this type of attack.

Really? The general run of comments seems to indicate that the attack could only succeed because nobody in the targeted corporation noticed a popup warning them about the attack for 72 straight hours.

That strongly suggests that very few corporations should have any guards at all in place to prevent this type of attack, because there's no way for the attack to succeed unless everyone in the targeted corporation has stopped playing the game.

What are people worried about?
