For the second time in a month somone i know ingame has had their account raided....all eve players i strongly urge you to change your passwords once a week and do not let eve login remember your passwords. Somone is out there guessing account login names and like other things with eve the client/eve forums is keeping account info somehow sutch as passwords...and change those api keys.. GM's please fo something to kill the guessing games some people are obviously playing to hack acounts like limiting password tries and forcing password resets

While i do believe some people are getting keylogged and the like.
its hard to explain that happening to a dedicated eve box that does nothing but run clients and nothng else..not even surfing.
the only explinations are somone is guessing Or CCP has a leak somewhere.

First of all ,NO it wasent me that got whacked
Second i started this thread strictly to put out some kind of warning/information. Do with this as u will, pay attiention or not.
Third i do implicitly trust the acount of events as given to me by somone i know for over 2 years thru this game,far as i can tell there is no reason to believe that the events dident happen as described
Fourth and most of all, given that the same box is running multipal accounts and only 1 account was raided says several things now dosent it. that paticular box also blew the mobo approxamatly 3-4 days before this happened and is awaiting replacment parts even now.

Actually its is horridly easy to brute force,flat out guess the password.
1 eve forums and eve client use same acount name
2 if you ever have attempted to buy or bought a char from anyone and had it transferd, you give up your account name to the seller making it rediculasly easy to harvest account names
3 login for forums is not secure aspx? page and can be back clicked to however many times is needed
but overall when i made this thread in paticular it was to be nothing more than a reminder and suggestion to change all passwords on your accounts and change api keys just in case, nothing more.
to all those who have flooded this post with flames about who is responcable for whator automaticly blame the person who got hacked etc or say that they have garnerd nothng but enjoymennt from someone elses problem/loss...may you oneday SOON experience the like yourselves the the Nth degree.
