RMT Hackers?
 
I posted this as a reply in another thread, but I think it's important enough for more people to see it.

I apparently got banned sometime yesterday for a RMT transaction in which I personally did not engage. It's possible that one or more people are hacking accounts in order to use them to do RMT and avoid the ban on their own accounts. This evidently happened on my account entirely without my notice, so I don't see why it couldn't become a more widespread problem. Watch out for strange characters on your account, change passwords often, etc.

I'm interested to hear feedback from folks - is this something that many of ya'll have experienced?

eqemulator's database has been compromised once before to my knowledge and it wouldn't surprise me to see it happen again.

(I may be confusing it with another game's emulation site. But, I doubt that...)

In 2007, before I took control of it.

Rogean - it's not that I don't have faith in your abilities its just your servers aren't as secure as you may believe. I'd look a little deeper.

Why would they hack an account when it takes 5 minutes to make a completely new account?
