hacked

[Iskander]

I have a question? Is it solely PC players ho are experiencing the hacking, or have both PC and PS3 registered accounts been compromised. I ask because I know the codes are registered based on pc or ps3 and haven't heard any distinguishing remarks on if one or both are at risk.

Also don't browse the internet and accidetnly pick up malware from an infected ad on a perfectaly legitmate site that you thousands of people vist daily

Oh. Wait. You can't avoid that can you aside from say adblock. Even the people with the best security still trip up.

Unfortunately this is not true. My buddy's wife's account got hacked and she has not bought any gil. There's something seriously flawed with the FFXIV ARR's server's security. Whether it be something being exploited through the datacenters or from these forums... SE needs to address this shit quick before it gets any bigger. I would be srsly interested to know how they could have gotten through your security token though...

You might want to go back to school and learn some grammar before calling someone an idiot...

It's you're, not your...

Is this really the time to be caring about peoples grammar?
Seriously curious here.

Well, I got the CE security token so I wonder if anyone who has the physical token got hacked yet.

I haven't personally, but I know ppl who have.

Mainly from social engineering tactics though.

I love how everyone just assumes that because we lost access to our accounts that automatically means we bought gil. Im a legacy member, do you honestly think id be so stupid as to buy gil when I dont even need any?

You would be amazed at the amount of lazy people display and would still buy gill. it is indeed a primary cause of account hacking but it is silly to assume every person hacked buys gill. but the people who actually do it will never admit it for obvious reasons.

What people don't seem to realize is it's the same for people selling them the gill as well. they have to visit those sites to do so and without people selling them gill they woulnd't have enough for people to buy. and wouldn't be people buying, this vicious cycle is why RMT are this aggressive. it's players who help them fault as much as them.

Wishful thinking. Do you actually have proof for any your assertions?

Looks like you never played FFXI. it's common knowledge. Do you honestly think RMT don't infect their sites? In fact a few years ago a known gill seller to the rmt ended up getting his account hacked shortly after. he even admitted he was doing it..in tells when i asked what happend, not bluntly but his subtle hints gave it away. due to him saying he was talking to one of them and when i asked why he gave me the silent treatment, and then he said something about his screen going black and having to restart and then he lost his account, i don't remember full details. but it's the same ending. Sometimes proof is simply common sense.
