Haven't seen the issue on Hyperion as of last night. That being said, I'll log in tonight and stare my doppleganger in the face.

People on my friends list know me well enough not to spam nonsense. Hopefully the devs can get on top of this issue. As for hardcore hacking, I'm not sure about that. I think they could possibly be taking an advantage of an exploit. I doubt privacy is being compromised or our accounts will be flagged - my security token on my account keeps it safe for the most part.
