Recent Hackings

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.

I'm not saying people shouldn't be wary of sites that are known to be the cause of accounts being hacked. We're both on the same page about that. It's just that at some point, the company providing the service for you have to actually keep this under control. They're lucky enough to still have 500,000 dedicated subscribers. Most companies understand that... well, most people are dumb. Preserving those "dumb" subscribers is the only way they'll stay afloat.

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'm not gonna argue with you that WoW doesn't have better service, because it does.

But I wasn't really comparing it to WoW, so...
 
My account has been hacked haven't gotten it back yet but I fear for the worse...but I'll get it back today so hope I'm good :(.

Damn, that sucks :(. But at least you have your account back. You should make your friend re-equip your char., after all, it was his fuck-up that lost your account.
 
I got hacked as well but POL is making me get a notary to sign stating that I am who I say I am then mail it to them.... I checked FFXIAH and well I bought a Imp. Bronze piece on Alexander the day I was hacked so they wanted what was in my storage ><
 
My playonline password has been changed, and I can't log in.

after being on hold with SE for 3 hours I havn't gotten anywhere, have to wait till later to call them though.

Yea I do. But I have logged in from multiple PCs and a few friends have my account on there PCs. Well so idk, It came as a suprise to me. They said they would reset my password but I dindt have the availible information onhand, and when I called back I was on hold for about an hour and then I relized that the place was closed, so no one would be there to take my call. We'll see though. I'm not to worried, I have been checking FFXI and nothing yet. I'm hopeing its a fluke on SEs part, maybe my password got fucked up somehow. I know I used my PO pass a few weeks ago to check something, so I know i didnt change it.
 
Their phone service is honestly quite shit....

The guy I talked to was a total dick. I took into consideration it was the first of the month, the end of the builling period, and thats when they get there most calls. He pissed me off though because he asked for a sshit ton of information to confirm my account such as First name last name, reg codes, DoB all this shit, and then he ask for first and last 4 digits on the current credit card. I was kinda frustrated at this point and said after all that info you still need something? Then he goes and says "Well thats really all we need is the credit info" I wanted to reach my hand through the phone and choke the shit out of him. :mad:

They tend to be assholes for some STRANGE reason...hence why i had to restart ; ;, also you shouldn't have to feel sympathy for them coz it's the first of the month...it's their job/s to help us the PAYING customers out if we are in a jam. Also asking you all that info and then saying we only needed credit card info was a dick move on his part but w/e

Yea it pissed me off. I have never had problems with the phone service before, last few people I have talked to were quite helpful, but now I'm confident the helpful ones make up 1% of there staff.
 
the guy on the webchat actually helped me out real well. he was real nice too. just reset my PW and told me how to change it if i wanted to.
 
Yeah i was hacked Last night. My lv 73 Pup. I am on Hold with SE for 2 hours so far. I hope they can get my character back

They have to ask for all that information or else anyone can just pretend to be you and want to get your password reset. I for one feel better that SE needs all that information to get my password reset so that hopefully it is only me getting it reset.
 
well i got off the phone with them. They said it can take up to 5 weeks to get my character back. I will most likly loose my Exp also.

I was playing this morning till 4:30 am est. I was in a kick ass party that i made getting 12k per on Colibri in thickets. Well i logged out with lv 73 8k tnl. I started the party at 71 4k tnl.

Well i logged out at Whitegate at 5:00 am. So i wake up the next day and i cant access my account. I get ahold of SE and they reset my password. Basically in 2 hours my account was hacked and stripped. The person logged in at 6:29 am
