Get a Token!!!

[Jinko]

Not sure which it was, was probably a app token.

Anyway, you shouldn't really need a token if S-E just had decent security.

You should be able to bind it to specific country, or specific IP adress like ???.???.*.*, have the 2 last once there as most have dynamic adresses. That would stop over 90% of hacked accounts I think.

It's not about SE security, its about users security, a lot of people visit dodgy websites unsuspectingly installing keyloggers on to their computer.

Also many people have dynamic IP addresses which are changing all the time, you can't lock these people to that kind of system or you would never be able to log in.

Best, 100% sure way to never ever get hacked?


unplug your computer from the internet.

Thing is, I did call them. I sent in tickets. I did several chats. Basically, for me at least, contacting them only let me log in but not remove the registered security token. I'll probably try this again in the future, but considering how long the process took before and how they couldn't help then, I don't know if things will necessarily change.

That just seems unfortunate, sorry to hear...well the purpose of this thread is to point out that we should all be responsible of our own see security and not have to rely on the publishers all the time, they have provided an option for us to take up to enhance the security of our accounts and some just look it over and not do anything

Well maybe you are just lucky, or stupid ?

Maybe it will happen soon to you also, ya know what though you are so against the help people have provided in this thread (and the other one) it makes me think you are either a troll or you deserve to get hacked out of being so ignorant, good luck chappy you may need it.

Really? Honestly, I haven't. Would be great if you could link one.

It's easy to steal someone account who uses a security token. However, it's less likely since the time window where the token is valid is short.

To steal the account the phishing site that gets the player to enter their username, password, and token would imminently need to login to the account.

To keep your account safe:
1. Never trust any email. If you can't tell it is a phishing email then don't follow links, instead open a browser and navigate to official site.
2. Never trust any 3rd party website. Never enter your login info on these sites.

This doesn't make you sound any better.

Ever think maybe the junk you are navigating to, doesn't have interest in games?
Maybe she opened up a SE phishing email. I've gotten 2 of those already. Look legit, but are fake.

That can also be a factor. Could also be her visiting many game sites, or game torrent sites.

Sigh..

yet another ppl judging and u not know about us please...... not all of the people using torrent site like you do (or maybe u dont) and personal i pay every single game that i owned , music and movie thanks

[BakaChin]

please... do not judge other if u know nothing about them ! this thread just make u sound like a completely retard and arsehole ......

Im not even going to attempt to respond to that and your previous comments proves your ignorance to my point

I never said she downloaded torrents or any of the sort.

I said it's a possibility, course i don't know her. You are having a closed mind on this and claiming those who give insight and suggestions are stupid, retarded, or quick to judge.

I'm just simply giving you other things she "MAY" have done, not what she "DID" do.

For all you know she could have had a keylogger sitting in her computer for god knows how long, and those pricey anti viruses never picked it up.
It could be many many things! Sometimes even safe websites get keyloggers planted in them.

Antiviruses is only as good as how many times you make it scan in my opinion ~.~ As well as, your security is only as good as the person behind the keyboard.


So please, don't take this as a, she totally did X X X X. Just trying to push other things out that may have happened. -.- Next time i'm just going to stay away if i can't be a help.

This is my last post on the matter, I am wasting my post count.

I have played FFXI and WoW for year amongst many other MMO's, I have been hacked once in FFXI afterwhich I bought a token which I still use for FFXIV and haven't been hacked since, I have been hacked in WoW multiple times until I finally decided to buy a token for that... guess what I haven't been hacked.

I never got hacked in Diablo III either because I already had a security token.

You do the math and figure it out.

0 hack history playing lineage 2 , diablo 3 , wow , aion , guildwars , guildwars 2 and other crap free to play (also tons of dodgy count of website)

thanks sherlock
