Hacked account

Yesterday I had just gotten the update when I found that all of my Heir-loomed items were missing. My only remaining heir-loom was
my last completed weapon. People work a long time to get all of their heir-loomed items, so this is a really hard blow.

Yeah i agree, if that kind of thing would happen to me , i would definatly quit playing.

And also the admin on the database need to take a look at their security and take a look at the logs to determine what kind of attack is used to break thru the database.
If an algorithm program is used to crack password by guessing several combination that mean X ip is hammering the database so it should be easy to spot who is doing that and block that ip but then proxy could be used.

One method should be that after X attempt the ip is blocked for Y among of times. Obviously security measure are lacking to have that happening, its certainly not an engineer from the NASA that is hacking thru the CRPG database, most likely a script kiddy.

Read the announcement forum.

Both of you are behind, no scripts were used.

And Vieu, we do have that in place already.

I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

I got up this morning and got into my account and all of my chars weapons, gold, and leveling was gone. I switched my char passwords after the first one, so I
don't know what's going on there :(
