3102 - Hacked

[Panthur]

Cancel service or account (i forget which) to kick them off. Change Pword yet again. (GET TOKEN) I can't recall where or what thread it was that people who were hacked did this to kick the hackers off, usualy happening within an hourish. Once booted, they reacivated it again. But without a token you're missing that extra layer of protection and i do know most did not have the token at the time of the hacking.

Also i really dislike forums like this posting my character's level etc. Creeps me out. If i want to reveal that info that should be MY choice, not the forums.

There are far too many people getting hacked for this to be a mere coincidence.

Thanks. I'll try that.

Edit: Ok I canceled the service account. I tried to log in and it said it was canceled. Then I reactivated it and tried to log in and still received the same error. Did I do something wrong?

It doesn't seem deactivating the account kicks them out. If I cancel the account it cannot be reactivated. It warns you on that one. Are you sure that's all they had to do?
