Those who think they are computerwiz's lol-ing etc at the ppl that got hacked; shut the f up, you are not helping. If you truly had some deep knowledge about computers you would know that there are million of ways to hack some passwords and I will totally laugh my ass off the day that these smartasses gets hacked... anyway, so the only links I can recall clicking that could have anything to do with this is some skilltree-links, and forum search results. and regarding keyloggers; I've only typed my password ones the first time I registered to the site and the first time I logged in to the game. Then I used the 'remember me' -thingy, if the problem can have something to do with that?	Posted by sirspikey#3353 on Feb 7, 2013, 10:27:15 AM Quote this Post
Another victim that just got all there curreny and tps taken from character and stash. All I can think of what happened is that PoE helper is not safe. That is all I had that could influence my PoE account.	Posted by Desolationz#0400 on Feb 7, 2013, 10:28:38 AM Quote this Post
oh, and regarding better security; the iptracking, works fine. Facebook is using it and sends a sms to your cell for confirmation before anyone can log in from a different ip. Wouldn't that be pretty good?	Posted by sirspikey#3353 on Feb 7, 2013, 10:29:21 AM Quote this Post

It looked like (from his post history) he'd been doing this for quite some time. I PM'd support and the user was (apparently) banned very quickly. The mods/devs are really involved in the community and that's rare. You need to be careful what links you follow. Always check the url whenever you've followed a seemingly innocent link that requires you to log in (not just for PoE, but anything). My suggestion for GGG would be to display a warning when following a link from the forums to any site that isn't the official site, like a lot of forums do. But still it's the responsibility of the player to keep his/her password safe. thank you, I finally found out how I lost my password. I had a safe password and my computer is cleaner than my fresh cleaned floor. I#m a gamer since ever, and never though of falling to a phishing site, but I was totally new to this game and didn't know if I had to log in to see the skill tree. Probably I didn't pay as much attention as I should have as well. PLS warn people about this, it's an easy trap for newcommers.	Posted by Finifi#7535 on Feb 7, 2013, 11:53:19 AM Quote this Post
Let's see if there is any one else who has clicked that link.	Posted by mabllo#5074 on Feb 7, 2013, 12:08:24 PM Banned Quote this Post
that has an easy fix, other gaming companies already have done it: whenever an user is about to click a link that is outside of the official domain they are redirected to a warning page informing them about that. GGG should add something similar ASAP so other people can't trick any newbies to phising sites, specially from here!	Posted by knac84#3886 on Feb 7, 2013, 12:39:27 PM Quote this Post

Edit. @GGG staff: in retrospect, this morning while checking the onlines, when the game loaded up instead of the regular welcome message on the login screen, there was a bunch of HTML code. Like viewing the source of a webpage. I believe it has nothing to do with the hacks but u never know. Should have taken a screen cap. Sorry for not doing it. +1 that happend to me today it was very strange..but i didnt login to see linkk of that build Last edited by Dooshan#4963 on Feb 7, 2013, 12:52:34 PM	Posted by Dooshan#4963 on Feb 7, 2013, 12:48:05 PM Quote this Post
