As you may have noticed, spammers have been recently paying us a visit, opening paying accounts for the sole purpose of spamming our forums. The sites and executable that they have been linking to contain keyloggers. These keyloggers capture your account and password information, rendering your account vulnerable to third-party access and abuse.
We are, and will continue to work diligently in regards to this form of abuse towards our community, and strongly urge you those of you who may have accidentally clicked those links to run a full system scan and change your passwords. It is also advisable to always make sure that your operating system and virus scanner (you do have one, right?) is up-to-date.
We apologize for the inconveniences this spam may be causing you. If you come across said spam, please use the report link, which is located in the top right-hand corner of the offending post.

One of the avenues of attack by ISK sellers has been through emails that appear to be legitimate emails sent by CCP. Their goal is to trick you into providing them with your account information so they can steal it and your hard-earned ISK. A recent email sent by these ISK sellers talks about how much ISK your account had when you quit and talks about how you can use it for buying PLEX. This is very similar to an email we sent out in October, however, this current email has not been sent by us.
Please be careful when clicking links from emails and websites. Verify they are from CCP as these emails are attempting to install malware to steal your account information. If you at any time you are concerned that an email you received may not be a legitimate email sent from CCP, file a petition and provide the full body and headers of the email.
Fly safe everyone!

WeÆve had a significant increase in hacking in the past months probably in response to our Unholy Rage campaign. Accounts are being keylogged by ISK sellers. The same pattern is being witnessed in other MMOs. We have made it harder for them to ôfarmö ISK by ingame means and thus they turn to desperation in order to stay afloat.
We are working as hard as we can in solving these issues. Unfortunately, Customer Support has to take preemptive action when accounts have been accessed by IPs frequently used by hackers, even though nothing has been stolen yet. We need to make sure that our affected players are aware of the danger and that they take appropriate action in order to secure their systems.
There are ways to avoid getting hacked and we urge all players to take note;
1.Never buy ISK for real money. 2.Never visit ISK selling websites. 3.Never user macro programs. 4.Never share accounts with anyone. 5.Avoid logging into EVE using public computers. 6.Do not use the same username in different MMOs and if you do, certainly do not use the same password. 7.Change your password periodically. 8.Have your password complex.
Following these simple steps will make it much less likely that oneÆs account will be hacked.
We hope that you, our fine players, will assist us in this by not doing business with hackers and ISK sellers and by encouraging other to do the same.

A new phishing email purporting to offer 5 days and a free gift is going out by phishers. The email looks similar to this. This is not an email from CCP.

We've identified a new phishing attempt with a PLEX reactivation offer, similar to an email we sent out late last year. The email sender is using "[email protected]" in an attempt to make the email appear to be legit. Please be advised that CCP has not sent this email out, and we encourage you to discard it immediately.

We have discovered a new account Phishing scam.
It's offering 5 days of free activation. It gives you a link that shows "eveonline.com" but is hyper linked to a different address.
DO NOT click on it.
If you have any question of any link in any email right click it and copy it. Paste it into note pad to reveal the actual web address. It will show you the link's actual destination. If it doesn't look legitimate do not click on it.
In this case the web link has eve-online in the address portion then has .zxq.net instead of .com. It also has an extension that "copies" eveonline.com at the end of it to catch the images.

http://www.********************/EVE%20Online%20%20My%20Account%20login.htm?ReturnUrl=%2faccountinfo.aspx
The URL has been obviously altered to protect the innocent. When receiving these types of emails, please pay close attention to URLs (here: eve-onlina). Also, we don't have mounts. We have Internet space ships. And that's serious business. We also know how to write EVE properly, and occasionally our grammar is gooder ;)

One of the latest mails circulating has a link to Account Management which sends you to 'h**p:/218.12.32.213/ sansha/https/secure.eveonline.com/login.aspxReturnUrl2fAccountManMenu.aspx3faid3d103543aid193543.htm' - Please do not attempt to fix or copy this link and paste it into a browser.
This is most definitely a phishing link and we urge you to remain vigilant as always.

There is another malicious email out there. It has the subject "EVE Online: Character Transfer" and appears to have been sent from "[email protected]". It asks you to visit the Account Management page, but the URL provided in the mail instead leads to a phishing site. Please do not click that link.

Hello everybody!
Looks like there is a new phishing email out with the subject *EVE Online - Character Transfer* similar to the previous one we have seen but with a different character name. If you aren't expecting a character transfer please do not click the links in the email. If you are expecting a character transfer notice, please verify the information in the email and TRIPLE check the links before clicking them.
If in doubt you can always navigate manually to secure.eveonline.com and inspect your account information.

There is a new phishing mail in the works with content as bellow:
--------------------------------------------------------
To: <my email adress> Subject: Petition: EVE Online Account suspended From: EVE Online <[email protected]>
Hi,
This mail is sent to inform you that your EVE Online account, has been closed as the account security is compromised.
It appears that hackers have gained access to your account. In order to prevent damage to your account we have closed it for seven days and created a new random password for it. Please make sure to clean your PC of keyloggers and trojans before accessing the account again.
All you should need to do, in order to gain back access to the account, is to use the following link: <tiny url inserted>
There are ways to avoid getting hacked;
1. Never buy ISK for real money. 2. Never visit ISK selling websites. 3. Never use macro programs. 4. Never share accounts with anyone. 5. Avoid logging into EVE using public computers. 6. Do not use the same username in different MMOs and if you do, certainly do not use the same password. 7. Change your password periodically. 8. Maintain a complex password.
Following these simple steps will make it much less likely that oneÆs account will be hacked.
Best regards, Senior GM Nova EVE Online Customer Support

They are getting crafty. The below email was sent on February 1st, and uses copy taken from the official EVE Online Web site regarding the network issues we experienced on that day. Do not click the link in the body of the email if you received a copy of this:

This attempt has been brought to our attention recently. The "link to the dev blog" brings you to an account log in page. Don't click it.
Quote: It goes something as follows:
Win Big Prizes with Eve Online Lottery !
Are you tired with all lotteries which offer you to earn ships you can't fly ?
Do you want to simpl y win ships you can fly?
EVE Online organizes first lottery and invites you to win one of over one hundred prizes.
Here is your chance to win one of over one hundred prizes.
Visit our Dev blog for details.
First Prize is an racial Titan of your choise with best ingame fittings. Second Prize is an racial Titan of your choise with standard fittings. Third Prize is an racial Supercarrier of your choise with best ingame fittings.
Visit Eve Online for complete prizes and details!
*Good Luck to all participants!
It looks very official, and the dev blog link takes you to log-in to your account.
A trance reveals that it appears to originate from the Comcast network..

Another phishing attempt that's similar to the other character trasnfer.
Quote: "You have chosen to transfer your character to the account named xxxxxxxx.
We are currently processing this transfer. The character you are transferring will remain on your account, but will not be playable until the transfer automatically completes.
If you did not initiate this character transfer, please file a petition to Customer Support.
If you have any questions, you may browse the EVE Knowledgebase or email [email protected] and one of our customer support representatives will be happy to assist you."
Now initially I found it odd that a few of us not wanting to transfer characters recieved this email on the same day. So naturally I linked the link to create a petition to stop this transfer.
Once I do I get this message - "Reported Web Forgery blah blah blah." My computer just saved my ass in other words.
So my warning to you is this. If you recieve this email create a petition in game. Do not follow any links ect....

SonyÆs PSN network has been compromised and the following customer data has been obtained:
òYour name òYour address (city, state, and zip) òCountry òE-mail address òBirthday òPSN password and login name
If you had a PSN account that used any of the same login information you use anywhere else you are advised to change it immediately. This goes for secret questions that can be used potentially to access your email or other personal accounts as well. You should also review any credit card details used on the PSN network as there is no definite answer as to whether this information was compromised. Please see the article from Ars Technica with some more details for the curious: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/04/sony-admits-utter-psn-failure-your-personal-data-has-been-stolen.ars.
We would like to remind players that one should never use the same login information across various sites and services. This helps ensure that your information can be secure when a popular service has been compromised.
