You don't need to have had direct contact with an RMT in order to hacked by one. They hack other websites with less security like fansites, linkshell sites, and so forth, and then run checks against your accounts using those passwords. Some fansites like ZAM are infected with keyloggers that capture your password when you log in.

1. Use a strong password, unique to the game.
2. Add a security token.
3. Never get hacked again.

Problem is, I never visited a fansite either. This official site is the only thing that I've used RE: FFXIV. :/

But yeah, I failed on #2, so I guess I learned my lesson about being too lazy to check my phone and fill out another field to log in.

Um yeah if you read my post I do NOT go to weird sites or fan sites and none of my passwords are the same. I am a tech I know better. There is no way since the game has started that they could have gotten my password through a web site and no way they could have downloaded a key logger or anything like that on to my Lap Top I use a separate C.P.U. for Tech use and my Lap Top for personal use.

Honestly, I believe it's an exploit on SE's side.

That being said, it gives very good reason as to why RMT/bots are still here.

How do they differentiate between what is a compromised account and what account was made solely for RMT/botting? It would take a lot of time for them to wade through all the accounts and try to see which is which.

Unfortunately, I almost wish they could've just banned me outright. I'd rather have a reason to leave it all behind until these exploits are fixed rather than have a glimmer of hope of getting my account back, only to have it suspended again.

Hahahah I am serious on my side it will not just be my account they lose this one mess up will cost them an easy $300:00 a month if they can not give me a good reason for it considering that there was only a 8hr period from my last log out to when I tried to log in again. I have seen R.M.T. spamming for weeks before they get touched so for it to be this fast they messed something up. Plus this is not the only issue I have had with this game I have had them all, all the log on issues since day one.

Are you guys on PC?
And yeah, people who blame you are annoying me too.
Look at the screw ups that happened lately, guys.
SE can do wrong. Surprise!

Same, I went to work for 5 hours. I come back, log in, bam, suspended.

Yup, I'm on PC. I'm getting really tired of this. Other companies had problems at launch with their games, but this one is starting to trump them HARD

PC here to ....... Sent in my ticket for support a bit ago do not really think I will hear from them any way support on this game sucks so I will skip all that and call them tomorrow morning usually phone service work marginally better. I went and changed my password just in case but it still not help my issue I will not be forced into buying a token and I am beginning to wonder if this just is not a ploy to make people buy them. Considering how bad they look at things the thought process would be "eh lets not worry about the normal security if they care they will but a token focus on that" who knows really all I know is this will be that last SE game I buy if this does not get fixed I love the quality but support is a joke and if the company keeps looking at things like this then they are not worth my money which is a shame and breaks a small piece of my heart because I own almost every game they have made because they are that good but now a days there are a lot of good quality games to play.

If you have Android or iOS you won't need to buy a security token...

I got it, I was wondering how the app works though...I don't have data or wifi enabled atm but I still get a token...unsure if I'm going to get charged for it. (Though I have international free texting so meh)

It's possible to be hacked on there too.
The absolute best way is to get the real physical token I think.
Can't remember if any PS3 got hacked though and it takes
1-2 weeks for some peoples account to be retrieved again from what I read.
