hacked

[Makior72]

Another thread about someone who got hacked. This time, by yours truely. I received an email saying my account may be compromised and went to check it out. Turns out, all of my characters except the one I made on a JP server have been deleted, and I assume stripped of any gear or Gil before being deleted. The irony here, 4 days ago I ordered a security token and it has yet to arrive.... I'm hoping the support staff can restore deleted characters cause I am not looking forward to another level grind to get to where I was (36 paladin) so if anyone received rmt spam from makior sirtalis on Shiva lately, I'm sorry, it wasn't me. Anyone know wether or not support can restore deleted characters? I'd ask but they are closed on the weekend.

watch out, I made a thread about this and everyone started calling me a liar and blaming me and saying SE did nothing wrong and that its 100% my fault that my account was compromised, even though I had a security token...

That would be because these forums have the highest concentration of zealot-like white knights ever seen, all willing to throw themselves upon their own sword in defense of this game and Yoshi-P.

This is a mentality I'll never understand. It's possible to both like the game and admit that there are some serious flaws that need to be addressed. "White Knights" are actually a detriment to the game because if we listened to them, a single problem wouldn't get fixed because "It doesn't happen to me so it's not an issue." People need to be able to see outside their personal narrative.

This statement is true.

This statement is true.

The English forums do. I was told that the Japanese forum don't suffer from this. I have no idea if that's true, but it's interesting if it is. Why would they feel the need to defend a corporation? Do they see it as the little cute corporation being picked on by the big mean players and rush to it's defense?

Actually no. It's because it's my job to run VPN servers that often have 2~3 methods of authentication for some very large customers and I know how complex and hard it is to compromise a 2 part auth system with a disposable token. But go on. Believe what you like. Play the victim.

The pentagon got hacked, the DoD got hacked, the FBI got hacked, the white house was tapped.. and you think someone can't bypass a silly authenticator from SE?

Not everyone is calling you a liar, it just seems that way because of a few vocal people. Just ignore them.

It's important that people report what is happening to them without fear of being victimized.

Woah! Am I reading this correctly? You got hacked even though you have a security token?!? How is that possible? Now I\\'m even more paranoid...
