However I have no idea why I was targeted. My friend invited me to play the game last week and I've hardly talked or messaged anyone outside the game. I haven't received any phishing emails and I run Malware/Virus checks regularly. I'm only a level 22 on Hardcore, which may be a reason I still have my things (If they managed to log on it). Already changed passwords. Any thoughts? Try checking the email you use at the following website (it's legit and recommended by LastPass) https://pwnedlist.com/query If it shows your email has been compromised, get a new email (recommended) or change the password to something else (not recommended) using https://lastpass.com/generate - I recommend: Password length of 16 a-z A-Z 0-9 (all ticked) Minimum digit count of 5 Require every character type (ticked) Best of luck :) "Nope, looks like you're one the lucky ones." So +1 to theory that hackers got my mail directly from ggg.	Posted by Bukzoid#2085 on Apr 23, 2013, 6:17:36 AM Quote this Post
Within a week of signing up for POE using a unique password, my account gets hacked from someone in china. All antivirus etc updated. Zero problems with other games and PW. Only POE. Coincidence? Pain is Good for it lets me know that I am still alive.	Posted by Kreyson#7118 on Apr 23, 2013, 8:00:10 AM Quote this Post

My ac was hacked earlier today! A friend of mine has also wondered why I 2 hours after I went to sleep again comb the online game and only for 5 minutes. Yes, that was not me .... Orb's all me (alone About 25 Chaos Orbs) and valuable items were stolen.	Posted by B3RGZI3GE#3974 on Apr 23, 2013, 8:55:51 AM Quote this Post
So the conclusion is that I have to stand to see someone play with my mind and you're not? For it is not fair that the game's creators to wash their hands in this way that I'm sure I can return my Signature: User and do not feel like much work, and try to communicate with one of them but I have ignored so good luck to all who have stolen your account that these people do not expect anything, I'm indignant with this great game that I thought would overcome others.

Change password and e-mail, protect your new mail with phone verification, go for a walk. Better for a long one :)	Posted by Bukzoid#2085 on Apr 23, 2013, 1:37:56 PM Quote this Post

The second time I had a break-in to the new account with PoE. New e-Meil and password did not help	Posted by t_tor#3443 on Apr 23, 2013, 3:04:38 PM Quote this Post
What I want you to understand is that I went to start sesiony my email did not exist, as I recovered my account and as denounce the guy who connects with my account? someone can answer that?, and for that I will start playing again, to pass the same?'s not worth it to keep writing by passing around and ignore.
