3102 Massive bug!

[KisaiTenshi]

Ah. I never considered that square-enix.com website was hacked.

It wasn't hacked. People just don't want to consider that their PC has been compromised in some way.

The players who have reported 3102 in the last week, have had their accounts taken over by botters, and none of them have said that they were using the software authenticator before it happened. Now the question is, how exactly are the bots able to jack someone's login credentials?

a) The player bought gil from the hackers, and had their account compromised
b) The player downloaded any number of botting/hacking tools (which all have backdoors in them)
c) The player plays the game on a shared PC (family/friends/roommates/library/etc), and cruft they download is responsible
d) Your email was hacked
e) you use the same email address or username AND password on other games

A few days ago there were a few reports about the launcher not working. I never saw this. This is the typical suspect behavior when a MITM (man in the middle) attack is in play.

You did forgot f.) Site was compromised.

That would make sense for a MTM attack since a - e didn't happen.

If you have stuck to the facts in this thread. f sounds more than likely.

If the site was compromised there would be 600,000 people complaining, not the 5 or so in the tech forum and probably a few more who actually went to the trouble of using the ATO form.
