Hacker's everywhere?

[OzzMOzziZ]

Well, after a nice saturday playing the game with my friends, I logged in on sunday to have more fun...but what I found out? A nice email from the AH saying that I won a bidding at one lockbox with all my AD...wtf?!?!

Well, someone just hack into my account and take all my itens/stones/bag and gave to another char/account.

After 5 months playing this game, this sucks so bad!
Its the first game, the first time, that something like this happens to me and I have no response from the GM/support "Team" so far...

If you spend some real money on this game, watchout! You may lose everything just because this game have no security so ever for the player accounts!

That game have even e-mail guard, so don't even say things like that. You probably gave password to someone and that scum stole everything, cause it's not very possible that someone just stole it by hacking, cause e-mail guard.

I dont gave my password to anybody, just got hacked.

but thats the thing, rarely its not one player that "just gets hacked" (unless your pass is pretty simple and you pissed someone off ingame )

Usually when it’s something like this (one person’s items are sent to another player) then it was probably by someone you *know*

sidenote: doesn't the game tell you who "forced" you to buy the lockbox from?

My password its not simple, and I dont pissed someone off ingame...
And my ingame friends are all mature persons, we know each others for more than 10 years (from playing another games) and no one knows my password.

And yes, I have the account name of the guy that sell the lockbox, sent his account name for the support, but got no reply so far...

But the point is:
This is the first game that something like that happen to me, I already play a lot of MMORPG's and have a few old accounts with very silly passwords and do not got hacked in the past. Again: "My Password is not simple and no one knows my password".
This guy (kid) got my account info inside the game somehow, that is the problem here and if happens to me can happen to others as well.

Quite untrue, actually. My World of Warcraft account got hacked some years back, and the guild I was in told me I was a gold spammer. Everything I owned was sold for gold. I use a seperate password for every game / account/ etc... This does happen.

A: there is no way for any other computer to log onto your account without first verifiyng the computer itself via a 1 time use code... which is sent to your email

Long story short, you shouldnt have bought that power leveling service and handy auto quester from the chinese, Youre an idiot

[beeda2004]

it can be virus from web browsing, its not a game problem

[TemeK12]

[OzzMOzziZ]

This is my last reply on this topic, because all I see is stupid kids talking ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, if you cant read the topic, please dont reply.

And for those who cant read, here we go:
-My account was hacked from inside the game somehow;
-Did not gave my password away;
-My password was (and its not) not easy;
-Got no response from the support so far;
-I did not disable the account guard;
-All I did was writing here, so other people dont be surprise when this happen to them;

SO PLEASE, IF YOU DONT HAVE NOTHING GOOD TO SAY, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!

Ok, if you didn't disable account guard, how could the hacker have gotten into your account? Unless they got into your email (which would mean the hacker is not from ingame) there is no way they could get past it. Simple.

This conflict has now grown so severe that the only possible solution involves a texas death match.

It's a professional wrestling gimmick used as an "ultimate" solution to manufactured fatuous conflicts.

Don't know what brought it to mind here...

If your account was hacked, it also means your email was almost certainly hacked as well, I suggest you change your email password.

Unless you've found how you were hacked, be smart about it. Clean your computer up of virus as best you can.

It's important for people to know that, to access your game account a hacker does not need to know your pass, only how to access your email account. It's my belief given your explaination, that your email account was most likely what was hacked, probably followed by a password reset of your PWE account.

PWE is notoriously bad at respecting customers beyond what is expected of a corporation. Meaning, because you(your email that is) verified another computer to access your account, you are at fault for allowing someone else to access your account. PWE made an attempt to contact you via email regarding access to your game account, as far as they are concered they hold no liability and will treat the situation as if you personally allowed this person to access your account. PW isn't an American company, don't expect them to act like one.

An easy tip I can give to people to avoid email hacks is how to avoid a very old and time tested method to access people's emails. Use a unique password for your email address.
