That's definitely disturbing, whether they've "hacked the IP" or gotten into your information some other way. Do you use your game password for things other than FFXIV? What else might they have gotten into?

Question to everyone: if the scammers got the IP address from the victim visiting their site, would they potentially start poking around in it on the assumption that anyone who would fall for the scam also probably has poor internet security overall?
