RENTON, Wash. — Independent Web site GoodGamery.com was the first to discover Thursday where Magic: The Gathering manufacturer Wizards of the Coast hides its Internet content on its mysterious and inscrutable Web site.

Using complex hacking software, GoodGamery webmaster PaZ found news, columns and even DCI ratings carefully hidden away on wizards.com where the company had hoped that no one would find them.

“They did their best to make sure that no one would read this stuff, burying everything under a mountain of firewalls, security passwords, animated planeswalkers and spinning pictures of planets, but in the end, they just couldn’t keep it a secret,” PaZ told The Magic Lampoon.

Details of the breach were posted on GoodGamery’s message board.

Wizards spokeswoman Tina Gaffney was angry to learn about the breach.

“Damn it!” Gaffney told reporters Thursday at a news conference. “Now we’re going to have to relocate all of our older articles and DCI information, hiding it all over again so that it won’t be discovered!” she said.

“Never before has so much of our content been compromised,” Gaffney said. “We just came dangerously close to much of our content being read,” she added.
