it seems someone hacked my account. my ingame name is lord seth of earth. i tried to log in today and my password was changed. i retrieved it through my email and when i came on my account, i found that my covert units were sold and my turns were transferred to another player.

Post your ID not just name, it'll make things easier for the admin.

And other FAQs.....


Did you use the same PW ingame in other games ?

ID= 99356

my CO was also changed to Stormbringer (ID=59639).

There have been multiple warnings about using unique passwords on every game server. Any particular reason why you chose to ignore those warnings and use the same information anyway?

TSA Command is doing everything we can to find out how and why Minostauer got and accepted these brokers. We are also working with Treebeard, Command member of teh Hive to sort this out as Seth is a member of The Hive. If I have even the slightest suspicion that Minos had any purposeful actions in this matter, I will personally call for his removal from the game, but until then we need to find out what happened first.

it is too hard for me to remember so many passwords and to which game the password goes since i play so many games.

i just got a message from Minostauer saying that Demus did it, asking him to take the resources as a middle-man, saying that i wanted to trade with him, but he couldnt get on SGW because it was blocked where he was. i do not even believe i have ever had to deal with Demus, whether hostile or friendly, in any way.

Ever heard of writing them down?

yes, i have, but i share a computer and i dont want my passwords out and dont want the hassle of hiding every couple of hours.

and also.... the idiot that hacked my account did it again!!!!

Youre asking for it, using the same PWs, lol.

Sorry man, hope the hacker is caught, but its prolly not even a hacker.

So its too hard to remember multiple PWs ?

Well its too bad, but dont cry when you get screwed over due to that.

Like Tok'ra, it's hard for me to feel much sympathy when you're doing everything in your power to make it as easy as possible for someone to gain access to your account. I suppose the next step would be to tattoo your password to your forehead.

Change your password on SGW, make it a unique password, 8 or more characters in length, no words, just letters, numbers, mixed upper and lower case, and at least one symbol. Then, memorize it or write it down and keep it in your wallet or something. Just don't reuse passwords.

is admin mark ever going to look at this? or is he just backed up?

one question
is the password different when you got hacked now from what it was before when you got hacked? or is it the same?
if it's the same then I am somehow in favor of saying, dno't compensate him cos he asked for it

nevertheless if eart minostauer is indeed in any way connected to the "hacking" (btw any chance it's a rl friend pranking you or taking revenge on you) then he needs to get punished, independent of seths ignorance for basic security issues. (I play several games too and even on sgw servers my informations are not the same, i.e. even different mails and always different passwords)

cmd903 wrote:is admin mark ever going to look at this?

yes no maybe. No point asking us. And mark could be reading this w/o posting.

I hope Minostauer didn't do this in the knowledge of you being hacked...
