Out of curiosity, are the hacked players PC users or console? Seems everytime I hear about someone getting hacked it's PC and wonder if this is isolated to those users.

See I do not even know I assumed pc. bahamut is closed and it happened at the same time or around the same time felt like the same person.

It made me think of that warning SE gave about someone posting a fake pol log in screen to users of the game.

I will check if anyone else was hacked.

Just to be specific, were they hacked, or were they "hacked" i.e. gave their account information to a friend who used it against them?

Also if they were hacked, did they recently install/download anything that they have in common?

hacked as in someone logged into their account... then they fought with them and they changed password on them.

that guy has 2 accounts as soon as they hacked that one the other was hacked. then i helped him out by calling a gm on hs third safe account which he changed the password to.

it was too much of a coincidence... because another person was hacked and posted it on my ls's forums.

Well it is pretty easy to write key logger code into the code of a third party program. If they are using such programs this is the only way I can see someone getting thier account hacked/phished. The only other way would be maybe some kind of brute force program(neary impossible). I had a friend a couple years ago who was using an AUTO PL bot and lost his account cause the program had a keylogger embedded that he didnt find till he ran norton on it.

Indeed, I was 'hacked' and then I gave the info to my friend again and I mystically got 'hacked' again. Friends aren't friends till ya meet irl. Learned the hard way.

Yeah...if you can't physically go over their house and remedy the situation with your fists, it ain't worth it...

Someone i know was screaming in linkhell chat that he needs help because he just got hacked. He was on his gf's account (who is a sack in my chat ls). So I decided to help since my cousin is inside his endgame shell . Thats when i placed the gm call he contacted me on another account "he owns saying that his gf char got hacked also". He then logged so he can change the password to the account he contacted me on.. then logged in when i was chatting to the gm to help him. But seeing as how he contacted a gm also it was handed over to him anyway. I had one of the sacks in my ls even though I am one kick his gf char.

about 2 hrs later "someone" else reports on my ls forum that they got hacked and got someone in game to help him and handle it as fast as they could they froze the account etc.

This is what i meant by the warning SE made to subscribers in POL viewer. If this was the cause.. since you never know.

Littledarc

are you that slow that I had to explain everything out while everyone else got what I said..?

were you on the shortbus in school?

Does this seem like people sharing information with friends or what ever? when other people here have said people they know were hacked. and as i said bahamut is locked down only way to get that gear gil isp is a server transfer.
