Could you link to this VOD? I've watched the last two days VODs like from 40 minutes from the end to the end and I can't find where he talks to this guy.

at about 9:05:00 is when they start talking about it and they talk about it until just about the end of the stream. They're talking about a vulnerability on pathofexile.com

Clearly not as safe as it has to be.

And if you don't have time to continually be proactive in your computer security, then what can we really say when something goes wrong... Leave the title of "safe and secure" to people with common sense who, in addition, actually are obsessive enough to always monitor their computer processes and network activity, among other factors. The best you can claim is "unlikely to be compromised" with such a lackadaisical approach to security. You may as well move into a bunker if you want security while expending little effort on it.

People think they can run a virus+malware scan once a day with a firewall implemented and that's all the action it takes to be safe and secure. Technology can only do so much to prevent human idiocy. It's another example of people relying too much on technology to do/automate everything for them. Fools.


Common sense you say... So what are your common sense telling you is a adequate time to spend on your computers security a day? Do you think 90% of the peoples on the internet or playing games are obsessive with their security? -Hardly.
Most people have the common sense NOT to be obsessive with their computer, sp what are you gonna tell them? -They are fools, idiots, that it's their own fault? Yes if you are that self centered you will.

No, it is not their own fault, no they are not fools, they have other things to do like working with their reports to Science or Nature.

So yes my computer is as safe at is has to be.

But just out of interest, what exactly do you do to prevent things like this happening to your computer? What have you done that prevented this chines-guy to take over your account?
I don't think GGG is saying it's our fault. (I really hope not)

Because if a determined hacker can get into nuclear missile databases and bring them down, anyone's home security system is going to be a joke for any skilled hacker.

Hacks will happen regardless of how good you think your pc is secured so it's the job of the company to issue reasonable measures to combat this problem, and restore items that were lost due to this.

If their secondary security measures are coming soon, then anyone who lost stuff before these measures are implemented should get a full or partial restore.

This is a good faith move that will be looked upon favorably by the community they are trying to build.

What's the point of playing an item-based game if at any time you could lose all your items with no recourse to get them back? Seems kind of silly to me.

What's the point of playing an item based game if you can just dupe everything easily? Seems kind of silly to me.
