Hacked, ,anyone else lately

Re: Hacked, ,anyone else lately

Well, this happened today.

I was in Salvage and all of a sudden I got the "You got disconnected from another terminal" message.

I have no idea how it happened though. I have AVG running daily. I don't bother going to sites like ffxiah.com. The only ffxi sites I've been going to for the last year or so is the official one at playonline.com, this one, FFXIclopedia, ffxi-atlas, my dyanmis LS fourms, my main LS fourms, and BG.

This has gotten me worried. I took some guys advice here and made a bunch of random letters/number password, but what's to say this won't happen again. How much can I shield myself from this? Is there anything else other then AVG?

*sigh*

I'm very worried.

Keep half the password stored. Type in the other half when you log in. That way even if you get keylogged or there's some trojan pulling your saved password, they'll probably only have half of it.

You should reformat if you are on the computer.

Which sucks, because it's a really useful site. But not useful enough to risk losing my gear and gil over.

Well, its always been a concern of mine that the site's server's tap directly into the game's search functions, which is linked to the jeuno AH in game, which all players access eventually.

Really though, it sounds like one of the Taj-like drama crusades, people getting hacked, getting robbed of all thier accomplishments all for personal griviences or suspicions held against a certain player (which may not even be true).

But what concerns me most of all is if FFXIAH is also becoming a liability to players who don't even use it. I'm unsure of how the game's search function works, but its most certainly tied to POL and if FFXIAH is broadcasting that info somehow, no one is really safe. If that proves to be the case, FFXIAH's owners need to swallow thier pride and shut the site down.

Just got word of the third attack I've heard in a week, FFXIAH profile was deleted close to the time of the attack. This was another malicious attack, too. RNG Relic, Ridill, Vali's Bow, Yoichi Relic bow all tossed.

FFXIAH, more and more, is getting linked to this mess. Particulary with people who have made profiles there.
