My Account was Hacked :(

You should however should be able to call and put a lock on your account to where people are not able to change any account information over the game and then there is a password over the phone.
 
That totally blows.. where are these websites you go to and get these keylogger programs (not get them, get infected by them)? Is it a known site that has relations to FFXI? Or are these just random sites or Emails you opened?
 
I'm being told its the parser that has the keylogger.

Which one? I'm not sure yet.
 
Well if i was going to hide a keylogger a parser would be the best place seeing as people who use parsers are the ones that are often the ones who have the best gear so by putting it in a parser you are going to get better accounts than going randomly.
 
He used/downlaoded TazParse. Hell I have that one... But I'm okay. Could have been from an e-mail.

He had the rsbo or rbso.exe (I don't remember which). It seems like a WoW bread keylogger.

Flying to California to present your ID sounds a little excessive.

Sorry you lost your account.

Heck, if flying to CA is all I would have to do in order to get back 3.5 years of work back, and continue to enjoy, then I'd do it easliy. It's better than knowing some RMT guy got a free semi-pimped character, and that I have to say bye to all my FFXI friends and find a new hobby.

P.S. I only check email from people I know, and have not downloaded anything like a parser or windower in at least a year. So I dont really know how they could have gotten my info. Unless somehow info can be found through something like ffxiah or qcdn.

there are many ways to hack someones account, too many to list.

forget about why your account got hacked, if a legit hacker wants your account, he'll find a way. luckily there are FEW legit hackers that actually waste their time with hacking video game accounts lol...

you got unlucky,

gl on getting it back

I think flying to CA is a small price to pay for 3.5 years of work. you sound as though you loved ffxi, so i think flying to CA would not be such a crazy thing to do.
 
Yeah, I'd say it would be a small price to pay. Hell, I used to always see Jussy online, always running off to do something.

I honestly couldn't imagine what it would be like having someone else steal Excim from me.


/runs off and changes password
 
I really hope SE mans up and changes their policies very soon, the amount of accounts hacked recently is ricockulous.


Also, I'm not positive about this...Wouldn't a key logger only record strokes when they're typed in? So perhaps renewing a password is a double edged blade?

I'm on the lolPS2, so I think I'll be alright.
 
Sorry jussy for your account getting hacked and i hope you get it back
 
Not to derail or anything, but am I the only one who gets paranoid and HAS to check on their characters as soon as they see stuff like this. Its like when SE announces they banned people the hackers immediately check to see if they're hacked.

PS: I'm rating you up for your avatar jussy... /drool.
 
Kinda unfortunate that things like this are happening... To be honest, assuming this story is in fact true, this is as close to a hacked account as we've ever actually had, I believe. If true, I really hope this turns out well in the end.

That being said, hopefully this will be a wakeup call for many people regarding computer security overall... It really is important. Thankfully this was only a FFXI account. There are a lot worse things that can be stolen, and that's something everyone does need to remember at all times.
 
Theres a thread on Allakhazam saying that malware tried to upload while visiting FFXIAH.COM, most likely coming from one of the ADs. Unfortunately the thread quickly degraded to a Internet Explorer vs Firefox flame.

I do get ocassional pop up pages asking me to download some program or other (it has an OK and a Cancel box). Might be it?
 
Sorry your account was hacked Jussy. Hope you'll get it back >.<

This is why i stayed Windower 3.26 D: i don't feel comfortable using newer version of windwoer. also visiting RMT site or any related to FFXI site can get your account hack too i believe.


Good luck Jussy
 
Sucks that happened, but I think we're noticing that accounts are getting hacked because the STF is destroying almost every way that RMT can make gil, so al they have left to do is steal.
 
I think Psylentcuda is on to something... RMT > new ways of making cash.

Taking that into consideration how easy could they send a logger to your computer when your going on their own websites buying gil? your clicking around, must be accepting things, downloading crap to your temp internet files etc... just a thought.

I'm not pointing fingers or implying Jussy bought gil but have to look at all aspects of possibility...

Theres been talk about the key logger been incorporated into parsers
 
even though it's not my first time seeing your avatar is awesome...

on topic- this may have happened to me and myself not realize it...this was back when i posted help on changing my credit card info and I couldn't remember my password...it was most likely changed by someone because i tried for a few hours off and on of every password i had...I finally got it changed by reaching the person who helped pay for my acct. when i didnt have checking and his info to change the PW...

btw I dont parse i only use windower, but i dl from a lot of sites like narutocentra, realitylapse and stuff for anime and manga

sucks to see this happen, I think changing passwords monthly may be the solution to the problem

What I dont understand with this keylogger thing is how they managed to get my accnt number. You dont have to type that in to get online. I cant remember if you have to have it to access the PoL email or any of the other areas tho, maybe that's where.

P.S. Thanks for the avatar compliments lol. It's Jennifer Love Hewitt.
