My friend was hacked while logged in

Has this issue been fixed after the maintenance , or is it still risky just to even been online on this game ?

That it harms their own business is not at all true.

Steal from the players and sell it back to them...

Exactly. They already do it with the key loggers they insert when gil buyers visit their websites so why not this too?

Good thing se is calling their lawyers on these cheaters and thieves. They already have their ips according to their post.

Depending on where they are.. they might not be able to do a damn thing sadly.

Between the LUA queries being wide open, this happening, I'm led to believe they have almost no security on their servers. Between all the server problems they had at launch, the amount of bugged content that was in Coil, and all these problems; this is why I unsubbed.

I think its a pissed off computer savvy guy who just framed one of the most known rmt because the Ban Hammer came down on hima few days ago, just a guess.

Most likely scenario (assuming it's not RMT which it most likely is): one of the no-lifers who got their gil taken in that wave a few weeks back and actually has the time/inclination to do something like this.

At least IMHO.

I'm almost right there with you, I expire in 8 days, will I renew... tbh I don't know. I'm strongly thinking of putting it down for a couple months and see if shit gets sorted.

Okay quick question for those who got hacked.

1. You playing on PS3 or PC?
2. You got a token?

Lemme know.

This is what happens when you have RMT's and shit roaming the land
for friggin' days. Sorry to those who got effected. I may been too but I'm scared
to look.

Someone earlier in the thread asked this, and someone else replied that someone in their FC got hit with this and plays on PS3. So it isn't console-specific.

.....just realized how vague that sounded. Lots of someones!!

LOL! I know and Oh God, now I'm really scared. I ain't got much but I did hardwork on the lil' 100k I got from
crafting BS. -Sighs- Seriously for a P2P game, we have the worst security I ever seen. Within 2 months, people had a hack attack twice.
This is something that needs and emergency mait. DO SOMETHING ABOUT RMT'S!! Make Pin codes too while you're at it.

Sadly, I'm sort of inclined to agree. How can hackers remotely hack someone while the victim is still online? You get hacked if you go near a market board... Houston, we have a big f'ing problem. Something is incredibly screwed up, and it makes me wonder what else RMT can do at this point. I've never heard of anything like this happening in any MMORPG. It's even more irritating because FFXI was nearly ruined by RMT, and yet here we are, hearing about issues such as this one. Simply amazing.

Judging by some forums, PLAYERS in general can actually do quite a lot. XI wasn't 'nearly ruined' by RMT until SE started banning them and IP blocking and they retaliated. I get what you were trying to say but SE took care of the situation in XI fine in terms of RMT, but it was ruined by Players using hacks and mods to "make the game playable."
