Edited by: Aschera Nintu on 26/02/2010 02:24:02 Hello,
what am i going to warn u guys from ?
tldr; this is a story of hacking and customer support
first to me,
i play since 4 years with 4-5 accounts, i reached alot ingame, and im somehow proud of all those achievements. obviously im posting on an alt to save the guys i flew with from forum idiots.
What happend:
my main account was hacked a few days ago, i dont know how, since i never belived in the hacking storys, to say the truth, in most cases the user turned out to be the problem, like no security on the pc, or giving away the login to some "trustfull friends". i play mmo's since the days of uo, and my pc's are as safe as a homecomputer can be. i never bought isk, nor used 3rd party software, beeing a paranoid persone not even corp members had acces to important assets. but it still happened.
after noticing that i cant login anymore, i wrote the obligatory petition, got a quick answer to verify myself as the account owner what i did. one day later i got an email who confirmed that my account has been officialy hacked, and is now after a banning ready for me to get back. and that i hade considerabely more isk in my wallet then before ....
The damage done:
sure im not "entity" but im a collector soul, and i stored stuff for all my accounts on this main one. a short list of what was in there: several freighters, faction fit faction bs, around 100 normal bs, all faction and navy cruisers and frigs, t2 ships for 3 races, including pimped out commandships, t3 ships, and almost all other subcapital ships in bulk, further around 10k of t2 fitting items, ammo, drones etc, short everything u expect in a well sortet hangar to be there after 4 years of play... not to mention rare items u get when doing cosmos or explorations. researched bpos for t1 stuff including most bs bpo. so with keeping the isk in market all the time i only had around 1bil of liquid cash in my wallet.
What was left:
about 20 shutles, 2-3 t1 frigs, and thousands of used t2 crystals.. not even my slave clone with officer implants was there anymore cos i had a bounty of a few hundred millions wich were also taken. and indally around 10 bilion isk in my wallet.
wtf happened ? :
the hacker sold every item he could to buy orders not carying how much they offer, the rest was reprocessed and freitherhauled to jita to do the same.
in about 10 hours there were actions in the journal almost every second.
so is a t2 rigged, faction fit legion gone for around 100 milions... all in all the loss is around 200 bil.
Reimbursement policy:
after several mails witch a senior gm, i must say im pretty dissapointed, i cant quote them here for obvious reasons, but i will give a summary on the outcome.
on this website theres unter support, game policies, reimbursement policy, a point regarding to hacking:
If your account was hacked by another player and items were stolen or transferred to other players, we will investigate and items that we are able to track down will be moved back to the rightful owner.
but ccp doesent stick to it!
as my items were sold in the market they cant be brought back, as the buyers are unguilty and ccp cant interfere in the market. duping the items back into my hangar is for obvious reasons not an option too, and rollbacks for a single character dont work.
so in short, everything i had, is only worth what buy orders payed for them... and a 5 bilion legion is now worth 100m. as the only thing ccp can do, is reimbursing all the isk wich was transfered from my account.
needless to say that i dont play anymore, as there is no more trust in the company, and so many of my friends decided the same..
all whats left for me is to warn players on how much theire assets are realy worth, and what kind of help they can expect.
greetings
ps. u cant have my stuff, its gone pps. u cant have my chars.. they get deleted !

Although being hacked is a tragic incident (i know a few who have been) Imagine how unjust it would have been for you to suddenly have money taken out of your wallet that you earned legitimately through a buy order.
CCP cant just take money back from the market, it would ruin the balance in this game.

sure, i understand that. and its not the point.
the point is, that everything i earned in playing hardcore for 4 years is now gone, then u get 10 bil isk, wich is nothing in eve, and wish u good luck on recoverying ur loss. this is a slap into the face of the customer.
this is not an emoranger i quit eve thread cos i lost a mission raven due to worlds collide. i couldnt care less if i get stupid replys or flames, as im already out. and if i can warn some people on what can happen to them and what theire assets are really woth, im glad as this is definitely the last thing i do in eve.

honestly, it sounds like they did the best they could. what did you want, for them to generate isk out of thin air for you?

Edited by: Vitamin B12 on 26/02/2010 02:59:01 well first of all i am sorry that your account got hacked. i understand the way how ccp threat you. as the poster before said. sold is sold...
every heart something about warehouse containers? i guess they should protect your assest pretty well. if not through the passwort ccp just need to track down this one container. buying BPO's and lock them down (24h need to pass) is also a good solution to save yourself from being hacked i guess. correct me if am wrong with one of the above.
but what would interest me most is how you got hacked. you stated several times that you have a pretty secure computer... how did it happen then

This story explains to hackers and ISK sellers how to laundry their dirty isk:
simply set up a few accounts, make really cheap "buy" orders for stuff that costs 10x more, and then when transaction goes thru, CCP can't touch the items which has been bought by the alt accounts. CCP takes away isk gained for the cheap buy order, but the alt account can then proceed to resell the item for its real price.
Way to go CCP.

Edited by: supertrollguy2 on 26/02/2010 03:06:43 Why can't the GMs dupe the items back into your hangar and then delete the isk which was made from the sell orders of those items. The people who bought the ships/items etc would still get to keep everything since they acquired it all legitimately. The isk generated from those sell orders by the hacker would be deleted. The only irregularity would be that all the ships and items you lost will be copied and re-appear out of thin air, but this hurts no one.
Am I missing something?
*Edit: the poster above me makes a good point, I guess nothing can be done

The current mod policy on this is pretty unsatisfactory tbh.
Also pretty unsatisfactory is having the wrong mod policy on the websites.
I understand CCP's reluctance to mess with the market but I now know several players who have had their accounts hacked and I only suspect one of those of really having much blame in the matter.
In every case this "bought in good faith" policy was adhered to and in none of those cases did it really strike me as satisfactory customer service. CCP are basically saying "You can have your account hacked and your stuff taken off you and we won't sort it out".
It's one thing to lose items ingame through not counting the zeros. It's quite another to lose the items because of out of game hacking.
I'd say customer confidence in the security of EVE > any "prime directives" regarding not taking stuff back off characters that are probably alts of the guys doing the hacking anyway.

Being hacked is always the fault of the player. It doesn't matter how secure your computer is. If you dig far enough you'll find where you went wrong. Maybe your password was "cookie" and you got dictionary-hacked. Maybe your friend logged into your account to change skills for you one day but HIS computer wasn't secure.
If your friends decided to quit EvE because they wouldn't reimburse your lost ships to your own stupidity then those aren't the type of players people want to be playing a game with anyway.
Every player that quits over being hacked is one less person making the game so appealing to RMT. This is good news.

ok, first to the how was i hacked question... i cant tell but im pretty sure that it was not my computer who was hacked. a keylogger would have been found and this could be the only possibility to get the account details. my guess would go to something like beeing unluky in a bruteforce attack to the eveo forums as they use the character login, but ofc this is only a guess.
to the station containers.. ofc i had like 20 of em.. just to manage the sheer quantity of items.. but they werent locked... if you would have told me to lock em, i would have answered.. lmao i dont get hacked lol xD
and jsut something to think about.. i know real life comparisons suck, specialy in a pew pew spaceship environmet but when it comes to assets and stealing (and i dont mean canflipping here haha)there is a law.. when u buy stolen goods, even withoug knowlege and u get cought, u dont even get ur money reimbursed.. and this law is for a reason...but in the gameworld it would be too much work to write all those buyers a mail that they aquired stolen (hacked) goods and therefore the legion they got for 100 mil (and ofc all the other stuff). will be transfered back to his owner.. could take days of work... its far better (easyer) to punish the victim even more.
i would have never complained if i had lost all the stuff due to a stupidity ingame, like gettig scammed, blobbed, ganked, outgunned, outsmarted etc. infact this was a reason i played eve for such a long time, i hate games where u dont lose anything when u die.
but doing nothing wrong, getting home from a bar and realizing that everything u had turned to dust feels way too random.

I don't know where you're from, but if you make a contract with the seller and the seller says the item isn't stolen, you can sue him for reimbursement and you cannot be held responsible.

This is eve, you gotta take everything the hard way.
They can generate any amount of ISK with a few lines of code. There is no real economy, Eve is a game.(a great game, but a game) This is my sig, stop reading. |

If you're going with the real life comparisons, here's one for you.
Do you think your insurance company pays up if they find out your house was looted clean because you lost the key and neglected to replace the locks? Or worse, you didn't lock the doors at all?
No. They don't.

well, i explained more then once that i did everything to secure my computer, and i guess i do more then 99% of all users. to go on with the looted house.. in this case the insurance company hast to proove that my house was unsafe, otherwise they have to pay. hard to prove that my computer is as save as i can make it as a non it specialist. so ur comparison sucks

If i write a keylogger especially for you, how can u find it? I would bundle it with another EXE-file, maybe EFT or something and your trusty Antivir would have no chance to find it because they only can find allready known bad code.

If your password was brute forced, then you had a bad password. Simple as that. Way more propable is of course, that you use the same password for multiple games / websites whatever. Not every websites stores password in a very secure manner. So for important stuff, always make a new password. Can be a pain to remember, but it's worth it.

Your account being "hacked" is that proof genius.
You clicked a keylogger. You gave your password to a friend. You had Pancake as your password. Whatever happened, it was your fault.

Edited by: Thrasymachus TheSophist on 26/02/2010 06:15:20 That really sucks and I agree that CCP's response is weak. The problem is that you might be trying to trick them ...
I would like to think that they would be willing to track down what they can and get reverse the sales/transfers.
As for real life comparisons: 1. If a "buyer in due course" purchases stolen goods, but does so in "good faith" (meaning, they have no actual knowledge that it was stolen and no reason to know it was stolen), then you can't get it back from the purcahser. At least, thats the law in the U.S. If they buy a luxury car for $100, they didn't buy it in "good faith" and you're right, they'll lose it ... 2. If you have homeowners insurance and your house is robbed, they pay. Regardless of whether the door was locked or not. If they think you were in on it, they won't pay and there will be a lawsuit to determine if you were or were not in on it.
Of course, neither of these has any bearing on an MMO ...

/me is aware of that
somehow i knew that i could post whatever i wanted in my op and still would have to say, no i didnt to this, thant and specialy not those things...
but ok, lets go throu it... password was complex = check, password and username were not related to my charname = check, password and username never used in the same combination for anything else = check.
trust me im a very paranoid person, i even got a password detection on my pc at home, where i am the only person who has access to

[30]
Edited by: Destination SkillQueue on 26/02/2010 06:44:02 They did the right thing TBH. Here are the reasons why:
1 - The security of your account is mainly your responsibility. CCP could offer authenticators to make it more secure, but the responsibility in all cases on the user. The alternative to that isn't really feesible.
2 - It is only fair that innocents are being protected. This means the market transactions will have to remain unless they have reasons to suspect the trades of being made to ISK laundering accounts. You might be ****ed, but you failed in your responsibility while others didn't. It is only just that you suffer all damages, that can't be recovered from the 'hacker'. It also makes sense to have one guy ragequit, than steal the property of hundreds of innocent players and risk them leaving.
3 - Duping items isn't kool. It wouldn't matter in a single case, but as a policy it would create a huge isk/item faucet to the game, that would again punish all players. It would also be used to fake incidents in an effort to dupe assets. The no dupin policy assures there is no point in trying such scams. Again it is best to limit the damage done and limit it to the persons who failed to live up to their responsibilities. That would be you, the 'hacker' and possible alt accounts.
I know you are butthurt over this and will leave, but there is nothing wrong with CCPs current policy. It is better to let you go, than open the floodgates to bigger problems down the road. The only error CCP have made is not providing additional security measures for people who want to be extra sure their accounts stay protected. It might be a simple thing and earn them some extra income.

Man that sucks, but yeah CCP probably can't do much because if they start duplicating items in those amounts of ISK there's a chance of people actually abusing the reinbursement policy even if it's just a one time event.
Sorry I can't give much moral support, but being the way I am about computers I'd probably recommend you to make a clean reinstall of your OS anyway just in case you actually got a bug somehow. The process is just too fast nowadays so there's no reason to risk losing even more besides your EVE assets.  |

for what ? that everytime i log in, i need to fear that it is gone all again ?
and yes its hard to quit, ive done almost everything u can do in eve, its a fantastic game, but human beeings (some of em) are able to learn from mistakes.. and if u get screwed up once.. ull try not get screwed up again. and if u cant find the reason for beeing screwed up at ur side, u cant change anything to prevent it in the future.
so it looks like i have to logical options.. first one would be to turn my already pretty save computer into a government security monster (didnt even the pentagon got hacked once ??) what i cant and what wouldnt prevent anything if the hacking did not run through my pc. or just move on...

I wish CCP would let you put assembled ships into containers. I'm sure that most people have rigs on their ships that they wouldn't destroy just to put into a container. But if we had the ability to put all our items into containers and create secure passwords for them then our accounts would be that much safer, because then our wallets only would be the things that were at risk. Which that would still suck but it would be a lot less worse than having practically every single item taken away.

You think too much of yourself. Nobody with the skill to hack into a properly secured EVE account or computer is going to bother with your virtual currency. You're not even close to worth the effort.
Seriously lying to us about getting keylogged is bad enough, but lying to yourself is just pathetic.

Originally by: SlayerOfArgus I wish CCP would let you put assembled ships into containers. I'm sure that most people have rigs on their ships that they wouldn't destroy just to put into a container. But if we had the ability to put all our items into containers and create secure passwords for them then our accounts would be that much safer, because then our wallets only would be the things that were at risk. Which that would still suck but it would be a lot less worse than having practically every single item taken away.
you know you can right click -> recover password on a can right?
and there is almost always a vulnerability somewhere.

It would be funny if those people who say " it is your fault, this is eve and so on" got their account hacked and we could see if they still would give the same answers. 
I also think eve should be a harsh game but what is so wrong about if those people who got a faction fitted legion for 100 mil for example, would get the ship removed and their money back. Ok they might have sold it allready for more and so on but in the end they could have only done that because someones acount got hacked.
My bet is that not one single person here would say to himself "Well i have to suck it up, this is eve" except they are very rich and do not have to care about their money. At least i would not care if i had so much money that it does not matter if i lose a few billions.

Edited by: Lindsay Logan on 26/02/2010 09:45:37 The logic that "you got hacked, its your own fault" is quite silly. Really, the people who utter it is as thoughtless as can be.
Its just like saying "you did not wear a bulletproff vest when you walked your dog, so its your own fault for being shot".
Come on. Even if a victim is stupid and do not know what security is, its not his fault for being hacked. Its the hackes fault. Some victimes are just easier to hack then others. Taking counter mesuers is the wise thing to do, but one is never 100% air tight, and given a good hacker anyone can be hacked.
And even if the victim is easy prey does not mean its his fault, its stil the hackers who did it.
So stop the bull**** about the victim being at fault, its fundamantally flawd logic only befitting childern.
And no, I have never been hacked, I take precautions, but even so I am not invulranble.

Originally by: Aschera Nintu as my items were sold in the market they cant be brought back, as the buyers are unguilty and ccp cant interfere in the market. duping the items back into my hangar is for obvious reasons not an option too, and rollbacks for a single character dont work.
This has allways beeen CCPs policy for good reasons. What is it you want CCP to do? They did all they could without screwing up other people for your sake.
Your thread just shows that you are never 100% secure. So what?
Quitting over this would be rather sad. Don't you play to have fun and be with friends? You still have A LOT of ISK.

Maybe, maybe not. No way to verify. And that's why CCP treats everyone who gets hacked the same. Transfered ISK are reimbursed. Market sales can not be reverted for obvious reasons. There's no other way to handle it.

Originally by: Zhana Agonskaya You still have ya skills built up from 4 years of play, so should be no problem earning that isk back..
for what ? that everytime i log in, i need to fear that it is gone all again ?
and yes its hard to quit, ive done almost everything u can do in eve, its a fantastic game, but human beeings (some of em) are able to learn from mistakes.. and if u get screwed up once.. ull try not get screwed up again. and if u cant find the reason for beeing screwed up at ur side, u cant change anything to prevent it in the future.
so it looks like i have to logical options.. first one would be to turn my already pretty save computer into a government security monster (didnt even the pentagon got hacked once ??) what i cant and what wouldnt prevent anything if the hacking did not run through my pc. or just move on...
I do have a lot of sympathy for you but CCP's policy is the only correct one as to do otherwise would open up a lot of game abuse. They do trace the ISK (as some buyers are RMT buyers) and it may lead to several bans but that won't help you much.
Really the s****bags are those who did this, not CCP and it's a shame there are no practical legal means to get to them.
It really does not help that you do not know how they got your account details. I suspect if you could confirm it was your fault you would feel better able to deal with it. I assume you have run keylogger and trojan checkers (which most virus checkers won't detect) but really there are a multitude of ways they could have got in.
If CCP took time to close your account after you notified them I would ask for that ISK back though as they should have closed your account ASAP.

hi again, and im glad to see that there are some constructive posts between the flames too ;)
i surely can understand ccp too, in some way it seems logical, and creating isk out of nowhere is not right too, nor is duping..
and to remember the reason i posted, wasnt meant to cry bout the loss.. im already over it... but to make public that statements like this:
10. HACKING & ACCOUNT TRANSFERS
Hacking is any unauthorized access to another personÆs account, by illegal means or not.
1. If your account was hacked by another player and items were stolen or transferred to other players, we will investigate and items that we are able to track down will be moved back to the rightful owner.
makes players feel safe, cos they think.. ok if the worst case will happen, ccp will do anything to prevent harm done to you. but this is simply not true. instead u get a mail where ur told to recover ur losses and keep enjoing eve.
maybe they should update it to something like:
if u get hacked, its ur fault, ur screwed, nobody will help u.. prepare to get flamed!
would be much clearer xD

Edited by: TraininVain on 26/02/2010 10:43:21 CCP will happily remove ISK from people's wallets if they think it's bought.
You don't even have to have a security flaw on your computer to get hacked btw.
There's been a couple of people I've known where it's been quite the mystery. OK sure, some people you do just think "Yeah, you bought ISK" or "Yeah, you boobed with security" but....
Forums are fairly insecure for example. I realise technically you should tier up your passwords if not have separate passwords for everything but I bet most people do not.

Had one of my alt accounts hacked and the same thing happened , the bastard sold everything at market buy orders (some lucky guy got a Nomad for 400m) and CCP cant return the items.
Had a lot of faction junk and some pretty rare items so it was a bit of a boot in the sack to lose all my collection but looking at it another way it gives a fresh chance to restart with a decent amount of ISK and to do something different.
Best advice I can give is just to keep going , were you ever going to use all that junk you had collected and just go mental havign some fun losing ships :D

I get rather sick of seeing this "I got hacked". I get sick of it because 100% of the time it is followed by "I never gave my password out and never downloaded anything that looked fishy and and and and and and and and".
You can't just get hacked unless you give out your password or you go to a scam website that looks exactly like CCP's website where you put in your username and password and it gets stolen, or you download something with a keylogger in it.
You did one of those. You have to have done one of those, yet all are so very very easy to avoid, by simply NOT giving out your password, ALWAYS checking the address of the website before putting in your username and password, and not downloading ANYTHING unless it's from a trusted download site.
Hate to sound like a **** but anybody that gets hacked has only themselves to blame. I've also been playing MMO's for over 6 years and I've never been hacked.

If it can be decided that the account was not hacked due to isk buying and there is a record of what happened on the market, that is bogus.
If you buy something from the market that is too good to be true there are three possibilities of why the items were priced so low.
One being that the person made a mistake.
Two being the owner accepted the loss due to need to liquidate quickly (least likely option).
Thirdly, it is being sold without the true owners authorization.

I can not see how these, more then likely, infrequent situations would be hard to resolve. That being said, I have no clue how databases really work, but if they can go in and reverse isk seller transactions when they are located, or they can start deleting stuff as in the Moon Goo incident, then CCP should be able to give a "legit" victim of a hacker their goods back.
CCP: You recently bought a rigged faction BS for 100 million. We have decided that this item was illegally sold due to a hacker getting acces to an account through means other then we, CCP, would hold the original owner accountable.
Pilot: But, but I bought that hsip fair and square off the market.
CCP: Deal with it, here is your 100 million back.
No true market disruption occured in the above scenario, item was returned to rightfull owner and they buyer got their isk back.
Real question. Do people that unknowingly get caught in an isk laundering sceam get to keep the isk that they got through those transactions, if it discovered?

How does a 5 bil legion get sold though? Repackaged and sold in subsystems to the market?
What about non-market items? Just the best WTB contract in the region?

yea this would be the most fair option from my perspective .. but i am only 1 victim.. and this job would require alot of human work to get through all those items... and would create alot of "innocent" lowbuyers who legaly bought stolen goods.
so the simple option is to screw 1 guy, it costs just a few words in an email... sad but true

Sounds like a nasty thing.
And very difficult to resolve also. What do you suggest they should do?
The only viable option is that they reverse the market transactions - giving the player(s) who bought the stuff the money back and remove the item(s) from them and put the stuff into your hangar again.

Create your own corp. Give 1 share each to your friends. Move stuff to corp hangar. Lockdown all the items.
Now, if you are hacked you still need 24 hours to unlock those things via corp-vote.
And your friends will notice that due to the shares/voting system and can ask back if all is okay. 24 hours time to act. Not much, but better than nothing.
Sure you wont be able to just move the stuff and use it whenever you want. But as collector you wouldn't do that often anyway, would you? |

the option a non-gm player has to analyse what happend is just to check the recent sales. i know that there has been no contracts done.. and obviously u cant sell a rigged and fitted ship on the market.. nor can u do it with most faction stuff and items.
so every1 can make his own conclusion on what happend. i just saw ships and modules sold in the history.. means the riggs and fittings have been stripped... as last transactions done there were several freighter loads of minerals sold in jita.
i cant tell if the faction goods were handed to another player via a direct trade, or just reprocessed.
if they would have been traded between players, im sure ccp would have reimbursed them.. but they didnt..

The possible amount of transactions which had to be tracked and reverted in the market make it just not feasible to do so. It's not a simple: player bought ship. Will now get ship taken away and his ISK back (which still would be a annoyance to him just because someone else screwed up).
A player might have bought a cheap ship, lost it in PvP, salvaged the wreck and the mods, sold them, bought another ship with those ISK, insured it, lost it again,....and so on. That's why CCP will not interfere with the market transactions ever.
Because scamming is allowed in Eve you can't just say: You should have known this ship was too cheap to be true. Therefore we'll take it away from you.
Quote: If CCP, can beyond a shadow of a doubt, track the transactions and decide that the account was not hacked due to isk buying, then it should be set straight.
That's like opening a whole can of worms right there. Who is to determine "beyond a shadow of a doubt"? That deffinition is still too vague and would generate even more emo rage. Therefore: strict stance on how to deal with account thefts.

the reason i had so much items was sure.. a collectors soul, but also the freedom of flexibility.. when we had a fight comming, it was like .. uhm do i take out the mach, the nightmare or the baahl today... i think i was one of the few players in eve who realy did pvp in those ships. or just go rat in a phantasm in lowsec, this was the moments i still felt an adrenalin push, cos i knew every single guy in system wanted me on theire kb. this leads to some awesome fights (and ofc stupid losses too haha)but having a lot of tools to choose from nearby is the key here.

I am not talking about going down and returing every T1 and T2 items that were hijacked, but I would think that the market history or contract history would easily show unique items/CCP gifts, Faction ships, T2 and T3 ships, and maybe a few other item types, that would not create many problems other then the tears of those that got the type of deals that would be treated as "hot" in the real world. I know this is not the real world but the reimbursement policy is pretty clear and I think that my interpretation is fairly correct.
For those that do not want to check the reimbursement policy I will post it again.
10. HACKING & ACCOUNT TRANSFERS
Hacking is any unauthorized access to another personÆs account, by illegal means or not.
If your account was hacked by another player and items were stolen or transferred to other players, we will investigate and items that we are able to track down will be moved back to the rightful owner. Note: In some cases we are unable to track down all items that were stolen and we cannot refund those. Furthermore, we cannot refund any loss due to information the hacker may have acquired or given away, such as bookmarks or EVE-mail. If someone gained access to your account as a result of your use of a third party program, all requests for reimbursement will be null and void.
END CCP POLICY:
Again it seems that you should at least get back the most uniques items that were in your inventory, if there is still a record of the transactions.

Now that's interesting. A corpmate got his multiple accounts hacked, many billions in assets were stolen including multiple T2 BPOs. After months of investigation CCP gave him his assets and ISK back, except for the T2 BPOs. Upon inquiry why no BPOs, the answer was basically "you never had those". But that is not the interesting part. The interesting part is that in context of the OP, GM actions about how to deal with account hacking are not consistent. Some get their stuff back, others not.

If the type of items that I mentioned above (all T1 and T2 modules can be said goodby too) can be located and have not been destroyed then they should be returned. If they have been blown up then they can not be "tracked" to an item that was in the original owners posession, and therefore will not be reimbursed.
I am fairly sure that CCP can decide beyond a shadow of a doubt, considering that they say (paraphrased) "if it is decided that the losses are due to 3rd party programs zero items will be reimbursed."
But, EULA's are never written to favor the client for obvious reasons

So player A lost a nightmare, player B lost a paladin. Faction and T2. Which one is unique? It's about CCP having a clear stance. Who is to determine what is to be reimbursed and what not? It just can't work that way. CCP just can't put up the manpower to track it all down and can not be held to be responsible to justify why A was reimbursed and B not.
Can you imagine what would happen on the forums and in the petition queue because many players would (more or less rightfull) claim to be treated bad by CCP compared to others?

Here's another anti-hacking tip:
Do not have a character name that's the same as (or even similar to) your user name.
If the hacker doesn't have your user name, brute force attacks become a lot harder.

So why even say that items will be reimbursed, at all, in any situtaion.
This sounds like one of the situations where items would be replaced if they are still in their original condition.
As said in my last post, destroyed items will not be returned. T1 and T2 modules should not be returned (too much tracking for too many items). But faction items, researched BP's, faction ships, CCP sanctioned rare items (gifts, tournament rewards), as long as they are whole and tracked legitimately, should be returned according to the EULA.
If you do not think that CCP has to honor a EULA then fine, say that. Just stop dancing around, I never said that all items should be returned, I said that trackable items should be returned, as quoted by the EULA. If CCP does not want to take the time then they should say so.
EDIT: This has nothing to do with the regular player base. Unless a player was hacked the general population should have no issue to petition or cry about anything.

Originally by: Nika Dekaia So player A lost a nightmare, player B lost a paladin. Faction and T2. Which one is unique? It's about CCP having a clear stance. Who is to determine what is to be reimbursed and what not? It just can't work that way. CCP just can't put up the manpower to track it all down and can not be held to be responsible to justify why A was reimbursed and B not.

Yes, CCP could ad "If feasible" to that part of the EULA. But anyone reading it should apply some common sense and would come to the same conclusuion. It just can't work that way for reasons I stated before. Too much work just because someone else screwed up and too vague of a rule for reimbursement to not stirr up **** because everyone feels to be treated bad compared to others.
Edit: There has to be ONE way to handle it. CCP sticks to it, as sad as it ma be for some of us. Edit 2: Originally by: Slade Trillgon I said that trackable items should be returned, as quoted by the EULA. If CCP does not want to take the time then they should say so.
Since this is a game, EVERY item, transaction, game action etc. IS TRACKABLE. That is not the problem. It is just too much work to do so for all those guys getting hacked. Sad but true.

Seems to me, the thing to do from now on is to keep only the assets you need to use and nothing more. As it seems CCP's policy is to rememburse only what your assets were sold for and not their true value. I'll be busy tonight selling off everything I don't need to limit my losses should a key logger find it's way onto my PC.

No, Not all Items in eve are absolute-trackable. You can track transactions, you can track contracts, you can track ships But no, you can't track every single item in the game.

Pretty much this. The amount you get reimbursed has exactly nothing to due with the fact that you got hacked or how much your stuff was actually worth, only how good the hacker was at what he does. If the culprit was clueless and sold dreads for 2m ISK per unit, refined stuff at 50% efficiency and sold the tritanium for 0.20 isk etc, all the help you get from CCP is a piece of wood to bite on (after they went around and collected all the lube).

But from what you say, if you're not leaving anything out, then you got hacked by a proffessional who can hack your account even if you don't visit any shady websites, download anything from shady websites, or give out your password.
Nothing can help anybody, if that is truly the case.

this way i can make sure all this sh*t still had a good outcome...
I would wait a bit before taking such dramatic steps. Even though its terribly XXX$$%^&!!!XX what happened to you, you should step back and figure out if it are those pixels you got hacked out of that made you play this game, or if it was largely the rest around it.
Six years of commitment is not nothing. You'll probably will not find any replacement game out there, and most likely wanting to come back at some point in time, be it next month or several years in the future.
If you do, you'll regret that you gave/ sold, what you had left.
Anyway, good luck, fly safe.

Well it seems the only "safe" way to keep your in game wealth is to have it as liquid ISK and not in items.
Another option if you are an item collector:
Have a two man corp and use password protected station vaults and an unsubbed CEO. Set yourself with limited hangar access (take from container but not move container). Automate all bill payments and put enough isk in the corp wallet to keep it going for whatever timeperiod you need.

As rampant as in other mmos. Protect you account and you will be 99% safe. The last 1% is unfortunate but nothing that could be done without massive manpower or CCP exposing itself to a whole lot of whinage.
Originally by: Boomershoot But no, you can't track every single item in the game.
Unless you hack your client / CCPs server, CCP can track anything what happens ingame (CCP will log anything important).

Yes. That is and has always been CCPs policy on hacked accounts. Having only ISK on your account will get them reimbursed when transferred to other chars, mods/ships sold to the market not.

Originally by: SlayerOfArgus I wish CCP would let you put assembled ships into containers. I'm sure that most people have rigs on their ships that they wouldn't destroy just to put into a container. But if we had the ability to put all our items into containers and create secure passwords for them then our accounts would be that much safer, because then our wallets only would be the things that were at risk. Which that would still suck but it would be a lot less worse than having practically every single item taken away.
you know you can right click -> recover password on a can right?
and there is almost always a vulnerability somewhere.
Yes I realized that a little while after I posted. I completely forgot about it. Oh well, and yes I'm sure that there would always be a way to get past it. They'd find a way.

I am not familiar with how corporate hangers work from a directors view point, but that sounds like a pretty good idea. That being said, I have no idea if all that is just a simple and additional barrier for a hacker to get through. Therefore, it becoming a waste of development resources for something that does not occur with massive frequency.

Originally by: Destination SkillQueue 3 - Duping items isn't kool. It wouldn't matter in a single case, but as a policy it would create a huge isk/item faucet to the game, that would again punish all players. It would also be used to fake incidents in an effort to dupe assets. The no dupin policy assures there is no point in trying such scams. Again it is best to limit the damage done and limit it to the persons who failed to live up to their responsibilities. That would be you, the 'hacker' and possible alt accounts.

Fact 1 - At bare minimum your password is entered/located in 2 places, you have it and CCP has it.
Fact 2 - 50% of the vulnerability is taking 100% of the blame.
Fact 3 - Over two years ago the ENTIRE source code for Eve was leaked into a torrent. CCP's solution to this problem was to block the IP address of anyone who downloaded it.
Fact 4 - "My account was hacked" threads are almost becoming as common as ninja salvage complaint threads.

Yes, except anyone who knows anything about computer security, knows that a quality pasword system only stores 1-way hashes of passwords, and that your client hashes your entered password which is then compared to the hash in their password file. Noone compares plaintext passwords. --- im not paranoid, they really are trying to have my stuff. |

Anyone who is saying that his account being hacked was obviously his fault are being incredibly naive. Just like in eve, you and your computer are never safe as long as you are on the internet. Every time you submit your password you are not guaranteed safety. Not only this, but your password is stored in some corporation's database, hopefully encrypted, but not guaranteed safe by any means. I am inclined to believe the OP, sometimes, **** just happens. Its a shame that he lost all of his assets, and I believe he should have been compensated more than the pittance he received. It would not be unreasonable to return his rarer items, or atleast give him a fair market value for some of his larger items. If nothing else CCP should be a little more flexible with a player who has been around for 6 years and has supported them for so long.

lolwut? You do realize it would create an avalanche of cries, whines and threats to quit EVE?

I wouldn't quit. If I were you, I'd take a step back for a week or two, maybe let the frustration fully vent out of your system. Then, when you're ready -- format your PC, reinstall everything you had before with the latest updates, along with EVE. Change your EVE password and just do what the other guy said, only keep what you need.
I know I'm new and all, but I don't think EVE needs to lose players :P

CCP, WHEN will we be able to get an authenticator or something similar to it, so hacking accounts will be 99.99999% IMPOSSIBLE.
WHEN !?
God knows how many times this has happened yet and still the most easyest way to prevent it isnt offered!
Such a shame But then again I cant really approve of any of this because this is my signature |

Or download anything from shady websites that aren't well known.

So...the well known Shady websites are OK? Thanks for that informative tidbit.
Overall, CCP's reaction and response to the rash of hackings has been underwhelming.

If CCP were to dupe your items back then that is something that could easily be exploited. Sell tons of items in a station at uber discount where a friend of yours has the majority of the buy orders up, then CCP dupes them all back to you after you complain about being "hacked." Way way too easy to exploit that way.
Next game you play maybe you won't keep all your items on your one account when you say you already run multiple accounts, and are more careful with your password. You say you were careful with that password of yours, but I seriously doubt your account was hacked using a brute force attack. Meaning it was your fault your account got hacked, and you should be happy CCP was willing to do anything for you at all.

Ok, you provided a strong argument and proved me wrong.
Because of your strong argument: The source code was not leaked. There is no humanly possible way to hack in to someones account through methods other than key loggers.
Thanks for keeping us safe.

So you are saying that CCP would not investigate the claim of a hacked account and would not be able to tell the difference

Okay
After careful reading I think I get it now.
1) Hack acct. 2) Sell all assets to alt for **** all 3) Repeat as often as possible 4) Profit
Not sure if this is what CCP mean when when they bandy about their 'cold, harsh universe' mantra. And I really don't think that returning stolen goods is bad for the game. The way it is set up now the bad guys win. This is OK in game but not RL and hacking accts is definitely RL.
