Armoured C Gallente Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group	Posted - 2009.11.30 08:42:00 - [4] I would of believed it more if you would of said this "For the second time this month someone I know who brought isk has had there account hacked". The responsibility for your account is yours and yours only, CCP can help in the protection but it up to you to insure you don't catch keyloggers which could effect your account. You can do this by only going on sites you trust , not buying isk (as the sites you purchase from has keyloggers on the site) and maintaining high security standards. Or buying anti-virus software like nod32 Basically they were idiots , got there account hacked and it there own fault. Don't cry here for there pennence as they have 99% likly brought it on themsleves. There is no guessing of these guys accounts it 100% brought on by themselves. Hope they get there accounts banned
Akita T Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2009.11.30 08:47:00 - [5] Originally by: SeerinDarkness For the second time in a month somone i know ingame has had their account raided Tell him to get a better antivirus // get a better firewall // upgrade and/or update his OS // not to surf for questionable stuff // not to click on every exe and allow it to install Quote: all eve players i strongly urge you to change your passwords once a week A password which will be promptly intercepted again on an infected machine and will do you no good Quote: and do not let eve login remember your passwords. You can't forget to do something that is impossible to do. Quote: 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 Nope. Not even close. Quote: and change those api keys Irrelevant. They have nothing to do with your account NAME nor PASSWORD, they are only account ID number and (more or less) randomly generated strings. Quote: 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 Nobody's "guessing" anything, unless those "hacks" are actually coming from an acquaintance.

SeerinDarkness Minmatar An Tir	Posted - 2009.11.30 09:40:00 - [10] 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.

So you don't have the foggiest of clue's. What one says to someone he knows and what he actually does or lie to cover up something that is wrong is different. I took it he told you he uses it for nothing else yeah?

Your explanations are far harder to explain than some kind of user error. People have a tendency to overestimate their own competency and underestimate the competency of others.

Miraqu Caldari	Posted - 2009.11.30 09:50:00 - [13] Originally by: SeerinDarkness its hard to explain that happening to a dedicated eve box that does nothing but run clients and nothng else To be honest, as soon as you connect that box to the internet, you are vulnerable. Even if you don't surf the net you will have to care about security.

JeanMichel Bizarre Whimmy Wham Wham Wozzle	Posted - 2009.11.30 10:44:00 - [18] I've been playing online games for quite a while and have never had any issues whatsoever. I do, however change my password every few months and take care to include upper, lower case and numbers. If you have the slightest idea of how to keep your PC clean of **** there is little to worry about. ------

gallchecker	Posted - 2009.11.30 11:38:00 - [20] online gaming since the aoe series in 95. never had any accounts hacked, never been scammed in a game yet. 'everyone is the enemy until proven otherwise' works fine for me :)

Zartanic Red Federation	Posted - 2009.11.30 11:47:00 - [21] Edited by: Zartanic on 30/11/2009 11:53:05 Mr X buys illegal ISK/character/item Mr x gets hacked Mr x gets his account back Mr x gets phising email requesting 'identity/security' check from ISK sellers pretending to be CCP Mr x ignores the obvious phishing attempt and gives them account details Mr x gets hacked again And/or: Mr x has not removed the logger Mr x has the same user name and PW as a forum he uses that's been compromised Mr x does not take basic security measures when visiting sites and happily runs any script he comes across There's a ton of ways to get compromised and most of them due to laziness or stupidity. It does not take a conspiracy theory to work out how its easily done. If is was compromised EVE forums security or API keys there would be TENS OF THOUSANDS of security breaches. The fact there is not is a massive hint.

Hope they get there accounts banned Hey forum ***** do you know for a fact that "they brought it on themselves"? How could you know this? people get hacked for various reason, you'd have to be an idiot to blame the victim without knowing all the facts. You lack attention in RL so you need to come here for it. thats just lol.

It's not easy, I can't think of one, maybe you could help me on that.
Tiny Tove	Posted - 2009.11.30 11:59:00 - [24] Perhaps Mythbusters should take a look at the CCP and fevered fanboi claim that you only get hacked if you buy isk. Because it's very damaging for people to think it's the only way to get hacked, and it stops people being vigilant.

It's not easy, I can't think of one, maybe you could help me on that. Every case, since they can't take responsibility and always blame others for their own mistakes and carelessness. It is also fun, that their "friends" are the ones complaining on the forums. Usually spouting the same BS he just got served from his friend and acting surprised when others don't automaticly swallow it.

It's not easy, I can't think of one, maybe you could help me on that. Are you telling us that you think everyone who was ever hacked on the internet has brought it upon themselves? And specifically to eve, You can honestly tell us that every person who has had thier account hacked has brought that upon themselves? How can you be %100 ceertain of that, do you know the details of each and every instance of this happening to an eve player?

Alex Raptos Caldari Phoenix Rising.	Posted - 2009.11.30 12:19:00 - [29] Originally by: floggar And specifically to eve, You can honestly tell us that every person who has had thier account hacked has brought that upon themselves? Considering all the possible methods for a "hacker" to obtain your username and password, i will have to answer Yes to that question. The only ways to get hacked ultimately come down to end-user stupidity. Either they use the same Username and Password for everything, and another service they use gets infiltrated (Corp website). They visit a dodgy website through either intent (Buying isk/other services) or blind stupidity (Phishing emails). They then proceed to give said website their details not making sure it is a legitimate website, or allow said website to run a script or save an executable (Most commonly a duped Flash Player) At the end of the Day, the user is compromising their own computer by being a stupid end-user. So yes, they bring it on themselves. Originally by: Dirk Magnum I've become gay for Mark Harmon despite my initial reservations about the show NCIS but nobody will ever know

I believe he was talking about the Eve Website, which remembers your details if you specify it to.
