Account got hacked yesterday

[neoreturn]

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 went somewhere you were not supposed to.

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.

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.

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.

Really? Sounds to me like he was warning his fellow players to activate one-time password if they haven't. Why so uptight?

One of my guildies was hacked as well and had all his gil stolen, it does and is happening. Don't believe it? Who cares, no reason to post here then.

It's not being called up tight, ever heard of crying wolf? If you start a topic stating you got hacked and warn people but provided nothing, you're basically trying to scare people, hence why I asked what all he did to see if there is something going around.

Your response was far more uptight than mine.

Even if he WAS simply trying to scare people (which in my opinion is just retarded in this case) what harm would it have done? Making people activate their one time passwords? That's a good thing isn't it? You should sit and think things through before blindly throwing out accusations.

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