hacked account

[cooler989]

When I try to login I get error 3102 says someone's logged into my account. I know it is hacked because they created a second character on another server. I already changed my password. What do I do now?

Get the token app if you have iOS or android for extra security. And follow the guide to register it. Put in a ticket as well. When they get off the account they won't be able to get back in again.

I'd like to know this as well. Was there a link, email, something like that, or a breach right at Square? I've got a token, and i know they aren't 100%, that they 'can' be hacked, but generally is too much work for the hackers.

Well there was a suspicious email that came out a few weeks back regarding early access codes (IIRC) that several people were dismissing as scaremongering etc. despite numerous people pointing out glaring errors in the email (spelling mistakes etc.)
May have something to do with it......

Another way is that hackers will hack forums of various game sites and try the usernames and passwords they retrieve from them and then use those in selected MMO's in hopes they weren't smart and didn't use a different username/password for the game. A lot of people don't use various usernames and passwords, so it is very easy to get into some peoples accounts. They used this strategy in Diablo III, but I'm sure they use it for everything else too because it was very successful.

This. I bet this is the single most common way to loose your acocunt. I got my email breached once and they got hold of my Blizzard account and this was due to me using the same username and password everywhere. Lesson learned after that.

And I don't like people saying "hacked", that would imply someone singled you out and brute forced your account, that doesn't happen.

They didn't use the token...simple.

Password is secure enough, if you are not being stupid with it, I don't even have an iPhone or Android, so no token for me. PEBKAC will also break any security measure.

I was hacked and hadn't even been on the PC that I play on in almost 3 days, so something fishy is going on...
