IMPORTANT: Recent hackings

[Classical]

It seemed most of the initial attacks were done in "more advanced ways", rather than using alts, at least that was my hunch, and was what I stated in my first post in this thread.

The dramatic attention the issue started receiving got some people thinking, and they used Ecko's, view alts. thing on his site to steal heirlooms, etc.

As an added security question, why does the change password option not require you to enter your initial password?

Love it when Russians talk. I imagine the accent and think how cool it sounds.

Sexiest accent in the world, I swear to god. A proper Castilian Spanish accent comes next

Anywho.

Thank you chadz for everything! This is great news.

Ban all LLJK, only way to be safe.

Does it have anything to do with the new steam warband patch?  Also, I think you should release the names.  I think you should have released the autoblockers names too.  In a community this small your reputation is everything.  Who cares if a cd-key or whatever gets banned, they'll just come back with another one.

I hate you, and roymorrison.

I agree though, release the names.

Lynching is imminent. Rrrrr

Release the names so we can beat them the fuck up.

e: also ecko remove your stupid site feature that let's people check up on alts, that is most likely how they got into accounts. someone starts up an alt without putting in a password, the hacker gets into that account and changes the password to get into the other characters, and then they remove heirlooms/characters. just get rid of the alternate character viewer

To be fair, there is no way that Ecko could have forseen that so many people would not have passwords on all of their alts (which surprised the hell out of me).

But yes, to chadz we should take a stance on just CD Key Banning everyone who hacks, regardless of if it is an in-game hack or if it is entering someone's account without permission.


EDIT: It would also be nice if we could compensate the hacked individuals with something to make up for this happening to them. It would not have to be veyr big, just a small gesture.

I feel another mass ban coming on unless a name is released.

[LLJK_Fellblade]

The funny thing is you are probably serious.

No, you don't get compensated for forgetting to password your shit and getting hacked.  You get your shit restored and that's it.  Otherwise you're creating incentive for people to be dumb about their security.

That statement is false, some who got hacked had all their chars passworded.

Roy Morrison is so dumb even goons didn't want him.
