    Account got hacked yesterday

    Lost all Gil. As a legacy player,I had about 2 million Gil. It happened after sever maintain. if you have not active one time password, go get it, otherwise you may have the same fate as me. I am not sure if I could get Gil back. I had the same experience from Rift online and they did recovery for my account. Not sure if SE has the same service or not. I cant find it in their support categery.Who know it?

    You're missing a lot of information you should supply before needlessly trying to scare people:

    1. What are your browsing habits, where did you last visit yesterday? What did you download? Do you block scripts/ads?
    2. Did you buy or sell gil?
    3. If your account got hacked and you immediately got it back to know you lost all your gil...you don't need to go through to SE.

    Now the million dollar question, as with #3, how did you regain access to your account? Normally with a hacking it's impossible to retrieve access yourself and ontop of that unless SE got internally attacked it's impossible for someone to figure out your SE Account ID - there haven't been a flood of topics on either XI/XIV side talking about hacking, so I assume someone you lent your account to robbed you blind.

    i really don't know how people can get hacked. I also doubt it's keyloggers as well. next time have a strong password

    It's not really that hard:

    - If you have a keylogger
    - If you use the same user ID you use in other online services

    But even in that case, as the OP said, setting up OTP protection on your account will go a long way to preventing unauthorized access.

    Likely lent out his account to multiple "trusted" friends and never changed his pass. Or was a bought account.

    Actually, if he got keylogged he'd be just as easily session hijacked to get a OTP since they don't immediately decay to allow users time to input them.

    Yeah, it's possible, but I wasn't under the impression that most keylogging was done in real-time. Like, the keylogger phones home every so often and the script kiddie can parse through the logs at their leisure. Someone'd probably have to have it out for you personally to be giving you that sort of individualized attention.

    Not sure how i got hacked. I had the same experience from rift. At that time thounsands account got hacked and Rife immediately implemented email check system before anyone can transfer large mount gold in game. I also had norton guard system installed in PC. I don't think your account is safe if you don't use one time password. They hacked me only because I had lots of Gil. With 20 year IT prof experience, I am pretty sure it isn't key logger. my account info got leaked from somewhere else. I like blizzard security system. they will lock your account if someone else try to login far from your home town.
