My friend was hacked while logged in

[Riepah]

I'd suggest a rollback affecting all purchases/sales that exceeded 1 million gil in the last few hours.

[axemtitanium]

Incoming rollback? Sounds dire.

[DubstepNinja]

Can we confirm this only happen to ppl in limsa?

Oh ,so like blame the nation with the pirates when some gils go missing

[Ignaz]

Not sure to continue farming TOM. Feel like roll back is coming

[Namasu]

And dozens of people did the same thing in the last few hours?

I don't know what you mean by that. Dozens and dozens and dozens of people were also hacked the first month because they have terrible password management (ex. using same login combination for different game like LoL led to many players getting hacked).

Also, if somehow a group of RMT hackers were to obtain a large pool of FFXIV player's IP (from 3rd party gaming forums etc.), I wouldn't dismiss the possibilities of them taking advantage of the less computer savy player with little knowledge of computer security and scan for vulnerable ports to gain full remote access.

Sure there could be an exploit in game that let someone use my character as a puppet and steal my gil through the market place but I don't see enough evidence to prove that it's totally an in-game security issue and not the case that I brought up above.

Didn't happen to me (as far as I know, but I logged out seemly right around the time this started being reported) but I'm bumping this for those I know that were hit. I agree with a previous poster, the "sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you" isn't going to make up for this.

Guess we're going to need to use a security token to verify every transaction now, even in-game ones...

This stuff is happening to people who're logged in, while playing the game. I'm pretty sure if somebody had remote access of your computer, they'd still have to actually log in with your account and move your character to the market to buy something, instead of it just happening while you're standing around or crafting away like somebody else here mentioned.

Also, if it were simply someone accessing your computer, it'd be much smarter to transfer the gil via mail moogles instead of the market board where it's plain for everyone to see that a crazy thing just happened and bone chips are sold for 2 million a piece.

[Espon]

You might also have given the hacker backdoor remote access to your computer somehow. That seems more plausible than just missing gil while afking in game.

You can't log in from two different locations at the same time. These people are losing their gil while they're still playing.

[HumsterMKX]

At the meantime, stay away from zones with a marketboard, just to be sure.

The lalafells did man... I swear.. I am taking serious risk telling you guys... get the word out before its too late.

Got hit by it too while briefly stopping by Limsa and putting up materia on MB. Both of my characters are millions more poor.
My LS buddies I spiritbond with also got hit.
