Hey guys! On the 29th of august someone **** this account, some friends of mine managed to get it back for like 5 minutes, and I logged here, unfortinatly, pwi changed the Secret Q&A to some new stuff, so I can't get my account back! I would REALLY love if a GM could PM me in game! (on iAwesome, my alt) This is the only way I can imagine to work. I'llgive you more info in game, but PLEASE, if you can, take a look at the ticket I sendt yesterday. The hacker closed it yesterday too >_<

    Step one, get a virus scanner. Avast and Avira are both free and very highly rated.

    Step two, Change your account password, DUH!

    Step three, open a ticket

    Case closed.

    Was that really so hard to figure out?

    Listen, Idk if u read what I wrote in the beginning.. but here>
    1~I have AVG, but apparantly he **** trough tht, idk.
    2~I didn't have time enough to change the pass before he did, if you take a look at it, its not about security answer / question anymore.
    3~I have opened 2 tickets, the hacker closed 1 of them before the gms could look at it, and I have opened one on this account too, but I got no response. (2 days now)
    "Case not closed. Thanks for trying ! Appreciate it!b:victory


    nb> I just realized it says O_____o on my 2nd post, and iAwesome on this one, but they're on the same acc,just changed char.

    Looks like you got absolutely owned then.

    contact your emails support and give all the info you need to reset that, then do the rest of it.

    As a precaution, do it off a different PC. In fact, if possible, do it off a PSP or something, be super sure you wont be keylogged allover again.

    in 15 min it says that I can try to change password for my email by answering to the security question, but the hacker might have changed that too! Lets cross fingers >_< That might be the only sulution.. Unless GM's would actually do something.

    Obviously it's not working and you need a different one. Both of the ones I recommended are rated higher than AVG in detection and they both have fewer false positives.

    If you follow step one and fix the keylogger part, then he can't see what you're doing anymore. Hence, when you change a password, he won't automatically know what it is anymore.

    And here we are, right back again, If you followed the previous steps properly and now have a "clean" system, he now can't get your info and does not know what it is. Change your passwords for everything. Now he can't read your e-mail or close your tickets.

    Did you really not consider this?

    with access to the account he can close the tickets. bit if the email still works getting him off that you can recover the pass.

    sharing a account even with trusted people bring the risk up of getting **** up alot you may keep your pc clean of keyloggers and stuff but your other 4 buddys may not even run a anti vires.

    i fix pcs on the side when people around hear ask and i can tell you some setups are such a mess when i get to them its crazy. expired or no av full of spyware and normal a few vires infections.

    b:surrender no offense but you let the key logger in your system there are several things you could have done the instant you figured out you had one but you didn't. Therefore if they have your email and you can't get it back and they have your account and you can't get it back and you haven't set up any other form to recover either of those (btw you can set up another email to recover your first one yahoo and stuff is great like that. But you had to have done it before you got logged)

    I'd recommend avast for the boot scan feature. Its a feature where you restart your computer and before any of those nasty bugs have a chance to boot in windows os, because heh windows isn't started yet, Avast runs a scan and is capable of scanning EVERYTHING without interruption cept by you. That usually takes care of pretty much anything on your system but avast is slightly jumpy so its up to you which one of the two you choose.

    And if he has your account info across the board what are the GMs suppose to do exactly? You should be careful :)

    well neither this, nor keyloggers, is actually hacking, but this reason is where 95% of the so-called hacking comes from. The keyloggers typically come from the "cheats" that people try to download for the game.

    To the OP, sorry but I can't login atm, Saturday mornin' with the wife and kids. I just check in here periodically because PWI's forums are interesting.

    This is what it sounds like to me:

    If person has access to PWI, knows enough to close tickets, they are obviously a player of PWI.

    If they accessed that person's twitter, then it's very likely they used the same e-mail and pw between twitter and PW.

    As iterated most of the problems happen when people share accounts, and just about nobody ever admits they shared accounts, despite GM's being able to compare IP addresses to see who/when has logged into the account and verify this is actually true, and true quite often.

    It's funny how roughly 15 years of MMO's and I've never been "****" like this.

    Zone Alarm is one of the most annoying, worst, most useless firewalls out there.

    Seriously, if you're gonna use a firewall, go buy a freaking router. The last time I used Zone Alarm, it screwed up my IP Stack so bad I had to reinstall Windows to set up a VPN. It TOTALLY hosed my IP Stack. b:surrender

    lol za was useful in 1995 when we all used dial-up modems on windows 95. now its just bloated old soft-where. they toss more junk into to try and make some money off. the built in xp firewall offers the same level of protection. now most of us are behind hardware firewalls like roughters or other pcs making za useless. a good av with a mailware scanner is pretty much you need.

    other then the failing of sony its been a pretty rock solid setup so far.
