Default Account Hacks

Has anyone else had folks in their guild effected by this?

My guild has had 2 people's accounts hacked, all gear stripped, one even had all his characters deleted. Information was confirmed private. GM's sadly said they could do nothing about it (which really stinks) and we've had to pull together twice now to get them back on track. Curious if any other guilds have suffered from random hacks.

That's a shame, I'm sorry to hear that's happening here.

Make sure the issue isn't a vulnerability on your end. What I mean is your website's forum, CMS or DKP system. If it keeps happening to just your guild, consider checking into that. There are known issues with older versions of EQDKP and all the major forums / CMS systems have public and private exploits.

Make sure your guild knows not to use the same login information on ANY website that they use for their account. Make a new login, password for just forums and non trustworthy sites.

Internet 101.

=*( Not true. They can do something. Not doing anything is their choice. I'd be raising a ruckus if it happened to me...

this happened to me on live years ago - logged in one day, had been stripped of all armor, de mask destroyed, de-leveled about ten or so levels. the head gm on my server said he thought i'd been hacked "fairly" but refused to reinstate anything. i probably cried a little!

if they are refusing to help you here, id guess they think something's a bit fishy

It's probably retribution for fucking with Heartbeats that one time. TMO never forgets.

I used to log on other peoples toons exploiting the EQEMU login, don't think I stripped them but did use them as grief/train bots for a good while

GMs said it was some "new policy" about returning items being the reason nothing was restored. Also, our forum is pretty secure unless someone is using the same login for that as their account info...
