Compromised PoE Accounts: Stolen Items and Hacked Accounts - Discussion and Leads
|
bump for fellow victim

It's mindblowing to see so many victims locked out of their accounts, asking to get access back, to farm what has been lost. Meanwhile the hackers that robbed us are still online selling our stuff. This is a really sad clown show.
Instead of punishing the hackers, GGG also goes the extra mile to protect their identity and silence the victims, by banning them from posting anything, if they post any information of their account in the forums... What a crazy situation. |

Seems like GGG has really screwed up on this one, all the info points to some sort of server breach or web vulnerability as a result of some blatant user error when setting up the security. My guess is: rush software to market with out testing for or just being unaware of weaknesses.

my hacker is still online and has restocked to over 300 items. i will probably get banned faster than him.
@Yoinkz#6468 - did you list the mirror on trade, or via exchange? i also got hacked the day i had a mirror on trade. were there any strange trade attempts before? i had one guy just letting me put the mirror in the trade window and then he cancelled and left, and another guy who wanted me to enter his hideout and he then put in exalts instead of divines. probably not related but maybe theres a similarity? i finally sold it via exchange, so i never had any other valuable items listed on trade (however i bought some expensive items) my main concern is really that they get around the "enter code" email. both my steam and emails have MFA, so nobody accessed it and like mostly everyone else, i never got an email. |

"can you tell me how do you know the hacker's name and what is his name in PM t hanks because i am afraid support will remove the name again |
|
" i was using steam and somehow they acessed it too |

Not got hacked until now, but I'm only playing POE 2 in ssf, but I have a lot of things on POE1 trade league that can be stolen, and I noticed that different login locations started to appear on "STEAM recent login history" after POE2 release date, none before, logins from Poland, Texas, Montevideo, and I live in Brazil... so Wtf? Idk how but hackers are able to bypass steam guard verification I guess?

" I checked right now too on trade. My hacker is also still online and selling alot of new high value uniques. I guess a lot more people got hacked and their items stolen. I don't know how long this will go on until Support will take action. I reported them a few days ago. My account got locked not long after that... But it seems the hacker can still continue with his business. :( Edit: They're selling everything for 25 divines right now... Probably trying to quickly make currency then abandon the account after transferring the divines... Last edited by waitingforunlock#4272 on Dec 28, 2024, 1:19:44 PM

A "cookies hack" is one possible way your Steam account could have been compromised. This technique exploits session cookies, which are used to keep users logged in after they authenticate. If an attacker obtains a valid session cookie, they can potentially bypass two-factor authentication (2FA) and other security measures.

" ah yes, this would explain all the ppl using standalone only that got hacked, makes sense now ty |
