Recent Hackings

wrong. that didn't stop the original wave of hackings from decrypting the pw file so i doubt it's going to stop any further attacks.
It does however stop any keyloggers that weren't made by a person that has cracked the laughably weak encryption on our passwords.

Firefox or IE, doesnt matter. Its Flash that had the problem. I updated my flash last night, but idk if Im good or not. I have my POL pw saved and set to auto-login though, so keyloggers cant grab me. Same for almost any site I visit that I need to log into.

firefox+adblock+noscript = most secure browsing experience available , at the moment, imo.

and for god sakes, keep 3rd party programs updated.
 
Oh no ; ;
 
Aww, that's really sad. ;_;

I'm not sure if this has been answered before, but if your password is saved so that you don't have to type it in every time you log into FFXI, you would be saved from keyloggers correct?

i think what they did was set the keylogger to reset that block so you would have to type it in again. thats how they get you. i think a few people that found they did have that thing on their comps were saved when word was spread it was a keylogger.
 
My roomates account got hacked yesterday night, and since he has access to my account on his laptop too, I will probably be hacked too. Good night.

you said that your account only works from your location though correct so even if they had the info it'd be impossible to use

Change your password, and don't tell your roommate. Problem solved.
 
lol i did get hacked for sure, now im on ragnarok!

come join me for the fun. i only lost all my gil though.
 
My taru is on Sereph server now... (; ; )
I think I lost nothing, (well only my enfeebling torque is on the mailbox pending to be delivered to another RMT, how much is it right now btw?) since my brother got a gm to freeze my a/c soon after hacked.

Anyway - -; I'm waiting for a data restore to get back to Quetz as soon as possible..
 
I really hope that goes well, Karla. That really fucking sucks.
 
It was a good thing you got your account back fast. Hopefully we'll see you back in Quetz ASAP ^_^
 
You would think after the first massive wave of accounts being stolen, something would have been done to prevent this. A real company doesn't let their security get breached so constantly with no ways of reparation. I would just quit if I were any of you. It wouldn't be worth it to play a game that no one seems to bother taking care of.

And how exactly do they protect someones computer from a keylogger?

No offense to anyone who got hacked, but its the responsibilities of the players to keep their computer's security updated. Before they were slow with getting people help, but now atleast they're freezing everyone's account and working on restoring them.

When you start up World of Warcraft, it does a scan for any malicious software and notifies you before you enter your password and login. Should you get your account hacked, it more often than not gets returned to you, rolled back the same way you had it before it was hacked within the week.

I can agree with both of these statements. SE should be taking bigger steps to ensure the safety of their own goddamn investments (us). End-users should be more careful about what sites they go on (Why the fuck do people still go on Somepage anyways? Hasn't it not been updated for like a year or something?), and take care to regularly scan/clean their computer with the appropriate software (set it up as a scheduled task or something). Even then, I know, we're still not 100% safe.

It really makes me mad that this is still happening. That hackers can't find anything better to do with their time than fuck up someones good time on a goddamn video game. How about just fucking getting a ton of synthing mules and doing that whole bit again? Why torture people like this? Can't they track these motherfuckers anywhere? My sympathy goes out to those I do, and do not, know that have had this happen to them.
