Dunno how people knew. To be honest, my password was pretty damn simple before. I wonder if it was a dictionary attack. I haven't had any contact with anything sgw related for a long time. Not forum postings, emails, or any of that stuff. So it's kinda surprising to see.

Anyways, now that i'm all good and paranoid, think i'll go on a password changing spree on all my internet based accounts.

Oumar is not a hacker and Oumar's account ALSO dropped out of long term vacation.

Zaphor as well.

Neither of these people were scheduled to come back to game or have answered ingame PMs.

I'm attempting to get in contact with them and their friends now but I think they, these two accounts, are also subject to this.

Oumar - ID 76408
zaphor - 4602

I only noticed myself because Oumar rejected a long standing invite to rejoin Delta (from when Delta was deleted for some reason). Whoever has logged into Zaphor's account has learned and HASN'T rejected the alliance invite.

I did notice Razarwire too as he was in Delta's logs but only one hit.

I caught up with 311 on googlechat a few minutes ago. Hows that for being retro.

me: hi

311: hey
i logged in and change pw, and went back to vac mode

me: yeh i just saw you accepted the TA invite

311: its possible .......that i just came out

me: it wasn't just your account
has happened to loads of other players
you had the dark TA tag, came out of vac mode, left the alliance
did you see anything else strange? messages, broker requests?

311: no
nothing
i looked
no brokers that i saw
i had 600k uu out

[Tekki]

Thing is you don't drop out of vacation and go on PPT.

Both Oumar and Zaphors accounts have dropped out of vacation and gone on PPT, though Oumar is off it now.

[Norbe]

You also don't drop out of vacation and automatically leave the alliance you are in, which happened to both shinobii and 311. Shins account was also put on PPT.

What happened to Razerwires account is still a mystery though, unless he comes on msn i have no way to contact him.

[Tekki]

Sigh yep.

I'm hoping I can get someone in touch with Oumar to find out if there were outgoing brokers, and I've done all I can to message Zaphor.

Going to be an interesting Admin meeting

Okay so what we need to find out is who else was subject to the hacking and who is behind it. Seems like it could be pretty wide-spread.

[bebita]

another account that should be look into it

she had over 400 mil army now uu disseapeared no sign of life from her .....

[Dubby_CompGamerGeek2]

[Ancient_one]

33492 > used to be ishtar66
11899 > sad to say it used to be henshenshi's old account...

[Shinobii]

That's a good point, there is a limit to dropping out of vacation and then going on ppt. All I can tell is that someone used a market turn to go on ppt according to my market logs.

You have used 1 trades and/or donations this week.
You have used 1 PPT bonuses this week.

So thx to norbe who had my cell phone, i was alerted pretty quickly.

Admin has gotten back to me and it looks like what i lost will be returned and then I'll be hitting vac mode till I can get myself in the mood to play again. Probably send my stuff to someone more active in case this happens again.

[Norbe]

Actually shin, you can drop out of vac and go on PPT straight away, you just can't do it the other way around. Good to know that the admins have got back to you. Hopefully they are aware of the problem now and will be looking into it.
