    Do you know how they got your login information? Make sure you've changed your password.

    i think from some twitch user link that i just casually click on when i am bore, since i don't follow social media much so i don't know it a thing after i search for it when i get hacked, they give out the link for lodestone, but when i see this again, it's abit different with the officical one

    but i am not so sure about it, since i dont understand much about this stuff, just saw that streamer getting top view on ff14 channel so i curious about it, and i only watch her for like few seconds

    i take a picture about it when i recheck and she is still streaming, but i am not sure if it okay to post here

    Yeah, those are phishing scams and unfortunately they pop up fairly commonly. They'll steal footage from a popular streamer, mimic that streamer's name, set the stream to sub only chat and then pump up their numbers with viewer bots so they show up at the top of the list. Then they just place some blurb that lures you into clicking the link. It's good practice to not log into any websites from links provided by a 3rd party.

    Yeah, they warn about the twitch phishing scams on the launcher in FF14.
    Make sure to run a virus scan just in case, as some accounts get hacked through a keylogger virus. I once played Runescape as a kid on my brothers laptop, turns out his comp was riddled with viruses from him going to... Certain sites... And my account got hacked.

    Stuff like this is why having a good internet security program is handy as any decent one won't even let you go to the website that the phishing streams try to send you to.

    One time password app on IOS/Android or a security token would also keep your account protected. It honestly needs to be mandatory.

    Not from the phishing scam the link you get sent to looks like the login page,you enter all your login info, including the OTP. As it is logging the phisher in at the same time and you are providing them with the number they get in.

    Don’t click on weird links. Scan your pc for malware and viruses. Change your password. Don’t share your account.

    One of these things got your account hacked.
