Hmmm ... how about:

FFXI Player,
We got hacked so call us (but ONLY during business hours) and after a few hours you'll eventually talk to a live person, and can play some more! :D

SE

PS If you're thinking about canceling your account, forget it since you need to log in to cancel your content IDs.




or Auto Translate:


{Hello}

{Final} {Fantasy} {Back} {Door}

{PlayOnline} {Password} {Please Check it}

{Thank You}

My brother got hacked on June 1. He then proceeded to get this email, lol. Whoever hacked him was able to charge his credit card to transfer his character from Asura to Sylph. He's got a freeze on his card right now and SE already froze his account until they can restore it back on Asura.

My content ID got canceled and I had to change my credit card info before getting it back.
This is good, though, since it was canceled before it could charge any accounts, and won't bill me until the end of the month for this month apparently.
Everytihng went better than expected?

Thank you for your continued support of PlayOnline and FINAL FANTASY XI.

As a result of an attack on our computer network, there is a possibility that information pertaining to some users has been compromised including the PlayOnline ID, PlayOnline password and certain other details obtained during registration. We have taken measures as soon as the attack was detected, and have limited the potential breach of information.

If you have linked your PlayOnline ID to a Square Enix Account, your account will be safe due to the nature of the information possibly breached. Please be assured that sensitive information such as your credit card number has not been compromised.

To prevent any misuse from accounts potentially compromised during this incident, we have changed the PlayOnline password for all those affected. We will be sending the new PlayOnline password to you by regular mail to the address registered in our records. We apologize for the inconvenience, but you will be able to login to PlayOnline using this new password. We have also sent out details on how to reset your password through our Information Center to those with a valid e-mail address, during the early hours of June 4th.

Those who can still login to PlayOnline using their current password are unaffected by the contents of this e-mail.

Please note: Square Enix employees will not ask you for your PlayOnline password regarding this incident. Please remain vigilant of any phishing attempts disguised as correspondence from Square Enix.

Thank you for your understanding, and we again apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Anyone here has been hacked once, restored but paid attention to the letter they had you sign in order for the restore to take place about not being able to request another recovery ?

Meaning ppl who get hacked now are screwed ?

I write this because i was hacked once, restored in about 1 month and been playing but always uneasy about getting hacked again. Only person who uses my account is me and no, i dont' have the SE security token. ( enough with paying for service and add-on's and 1 week later, surprise bundle pack for 14.95)

btw, i play on xbox360 and still got hacked, and SE's truly magnificent "customer service reps" told me what that letter stated, so anyone any thoughts on this ?

Hmmm off the bat I'd think not, but seeing how this situation is different than others I'd say call them up and see what can be done. As this was their fault you *should* be given your account + rollback.

Mmmm not looking for rollback or credits or stuff, just afraid at SE's sucky security because even though i do not for any reason write my pol id or password, still got hacked and i kinda doubt any person working at SE would be selling account info and if they are, ***at least target uber gear'd ppl lol ( when i was hacked way back, just lost hauby, auster, aquilos, forager's mantle and 500k which SE rep assured me since it was sent from the character to another now inactive character, no way to recover ).

I'm still thinking it was an inside job. I dunno, I play 360 as well but, I do use my laptop while I'm running the store. If I got hacked I sure as hell would want my account back, (Yes I said mine, we pay for the damn thing we should own the things). SE just sucks as a company in general for various reasons, some their fault and others not their fault.

Of course I also have a token, which is also a blessing / curse in my eyes.

the irony of this to me is some one made a 'There will always be RMT' thread then this happens . i double checked both my accounts , updated the mailing address and changed passwords .i'm kinda shocked Square made this announcement in a way . its also a sign of how desperate or cunning the RMTs are getting . make me wonder how much Square is making off illegitimate transfers . some of the time you can get returned with out waiting the 3 months , but most ppl i know had to wait at least a few weeks .
Anyone that got hacked GL , hope you get your shizzo back soon .
