COMMUNITY NOTE - ENGLISH VERSION

As with any project with ambitious goals and long-term aspirations, the journey won't always be easy. Disagreements are normal and part of the process; the important thing is to be mature enough not to let minor frustrations define you entirely.

Some might say, "It's just a game," or "Who takes a truck simulator seriously?" True, this is a game, and life out there merely reflects the things that happen in the virtual world. But one must also acknowledge the fun times, the friends, the mileage, or the enthusiasm for the simulation that, yes, are part of the lives of everyone who shares this community. This is no problem; the problem is someone becoming the worst kind of human being to somehow ruin someone else's experience and compensate for personal frustrations. Walking all over long-standing friendships, years of companionship, and especially the trust we place in people—even though no one has any duty to welcome or even empathize with what happens in our personal lives—we still have hours and hours of dedication from each member offering a friendly ear, advice, guidance, sharing life experiences, and a constant concern for the mental health and well-being of everyone present. And with this person, it was no different, in any way.

Unfortunately, this past weekend, the EUMEFA VTC page and two accounts of our members, including our CEO Naka and our Staff Lorenzo, were illegally invaded, vandalized, and deleted. All scheduled events, news, media, and forms were erased, and all current VTC members were banned.

The attack's origin was traced through IP logging and reverse engineering; thus, we identified the perpetrator. Thanks to the unconditional support of TruckersMP's administration and developers, much of the damage has been reversed, and we are working together, providing as much evidence as possible so that this person receives their due punishment. As there is jurisprudence in Brazil for conviction for invasion and damage in virtual environments, a police report will be filed against the author of the damages. A legal advisory service that voluntarily empathized with the situation and decided to collaborate in the investigation released their data and will represent this case.

And what will we do now? We'll continue doing what we've always done—lots of hard work, dedication, and commitment from all members and friends who believe in our journey! We're not stopping here; we have much to do to get back on track. Soon, our Event Calendar will be re-established with the exact previous dates. Partnerships will be renewed and added to the wall as soon as all partners are officially notified of what occurred.

We wish to thank everyone for their support and trust in our story! To our Friends, Members, Partners, and Colleagues, our sincerest thanks! Stay tuned for new updates!

A special thank you to the TruckersMP team: Project Manager, Developers, Community and Events Manager, Support, and Moderation.

Sincerely,

EUMEFA VTC
