Dune: Awakening "shutting down all servers" for emergency fix to yet another exploit that put entire bases at risk: "Lost my base and 1k hours of progress"

The sandworm in Dune: Awakening.

Another day, another new Dune: Awakening exploit – except this time, the exploit is serious enough to cause a full-blown server shutdown lasting literal hours.

Yes, you read that right… And, of course, as luck would have it, the shutdown is happening right before the weekly Deep Desert reset – the Coriolis Storm. That usually wouldn't be a problem, considering the recently added Base Backup Tool, but this server shutdown has come entirely as a surprise from Funcom. No warning, aside from the knowledge that a new hotfix to address the big bad base-destroying exploit was underway.
