Robbed? My Xunlai Chest is empty - Guild Wars Forums

EvilWayne · Oct 28, 2009, 04:28 PM // 16:28

That's about it. I haven't been online in awhile, but when I logged in, just about everything I had in-game, in the chest is gone, including over 1k gold.

I realize that it's probably gone for good, but I'm unsure what could have happened. I can't seem to find any information about it.

And equally confused on where to report it, if at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-w

There's nothing the forum can do for you. You can contact ANet Support, although I doubt there's much they can do to help.

Check your system for key loggers, change your passwords, have serious words with anyone you've given the login details to, then pick yourself up and start again.

I believe the general consensus is anet won't do anything tho.

Either someone is being really good and secretive at hacking people's accounts lately, or people are being consistently stupid in getting hacked and posting about it here. There sure have been a lot of threads like this lately.

People are consistently stupid. It's the one true constant in the universe.

You forgot to mention that people are evil too. Reading your post proves it. This poor guy is not going to get his stuff back, but at least don`t insult him.

Kumu Honua · Oct 28, 2009, 06:19 PM // 18:19

I didn't say HE was stupid...

SpiritSpammer · Oct 28, 2009, 06:46 PM // 18:46

what sucks is you can change the game password through the ncsoft website. So you have to be carfull with both passwords.

or maybe it is people that log on to guru that get hacked ^^

I can confirm that whoever this hacker is, is really good at this.

I got hacked yesterday and here's why I think he is good.

-I just installed Windows 7 on the 22nd, that leaves less than a week to pick up a virus.

-I haven't done anything new other than that, havent visited any sites I havent visted before, havent even logged on to this forum until now.

-No 3rd party programs run at all, I've played TF2 since the upgrade and checked in GW twice, that's all.

-Spybot and Housecall FULL scans return NO MALWARE.

-There's nothing suspicious in my boot sector.

-I'm secure behind a router and a firewall

-Basically i've done nothing that would give away my password.

Theres ONE catch: This forum and my GW Account shared the same password, not anymore though.

Is that an accusion?
EDIT:: Sorry, on topic, it isn't THAT hard to crypt a virus so that it won't get found by any AV's, sandboxie is your friend (Although some crypters have anti-sandbox)

DarkWasp · Oct 28, 2009, 09:00 PM // 21:00

Still, I did nothing that would infect me after Windows 7 was installed. It was a fresh install too, not an inplace upgrade.

Some skiddie could've found an SQL exploit in guildwarsguru too, though it would be near impossible, providing that the people behind guildwarsguru probably have it very secured, and if they're getting it hosted somewhere, the host would also take care of the security.

DarkWasp · Oct 28, 2009, 09:47 PM // 21:47

Well yeah man, I wasn't blaming the great guys who run GWG.

I'm just betting either NCSoft/ArenaNet/GWG got hacked. My NCsupport account info was identical to my GW account as well. Luckily not my regular NCSoft account, which I used to change my password back. (Then a different PC on safemode to make it something different)

The hacker took party items, and what pisses me off the most is:

FoW armor, and two sets of 1.5k armor and one 15k armor which still had dye from the old dye system. Impossible to recreate. As for the FoW.. whatev, it's in my HoM.

GW2 will come and I won't care about these items anymore anyway. It's just sad to see the armors with sentimental value dissapear.

Really wasted his time, I had maybe 10k. He also took two dedicated celestial minipets but missed an unded mini-pig. Ha!

Vendetta Wish · Oct 28, 2009, 10:02 PM // 22:02

It would be interesting though if there were a connection between people who use guru and those who are hacked. Not saying that anyone associated with guru is involved but that someone who uses guru has figured out a way of hacking accounts using information they get from guru. Anyone who is lazy and uses the same password and e-mail account for both would be easy prey. It would also be a great way to scout for people buying or selling items to get a feel of how much wealth they might have. Just an Idea!!

snowman relic · Oct 28, 2009, 10:07 PM // 22:07

lol dude ur sad about losing 1k? u can make 100k in a week or less FEATHERS

Or...he accessed the information before and is keeping his/herself from doing more then 1-2 accounts a day and didn't choose yours till now O.o

I wouldn't put it past anyone. Everyone is suspect, especially on this site. I'v been a member of many online communities and this is one of the worst when it comes to behavior.

Besides, I bet hackers are members here, if for no other reason, than to come and read the "I got hacked!" threads. Maybe even to add some salt to the wound.

But I highly doubt any of the gwg staff would hack a player. If it did happen like that and people found out, this site's reputation would be ruined beyond repair. So I'm pretty sure the staff and those connected with this site keep as far away from hacking as possible.

But two very important rules.
1. Never use the same email address for this site and your game account.
2. Never use the same password for this site and your game account.

It never hurts to be careful. Good luck and I hope everything works out.

Azure mist · Oct 28, 2009, 10:38 PM // 22:38

you lost 1k?!?

Rage quit your life.

I lost 1800ectos unded zhed stack of shards and a perfect vamp q7 chaos axe.

Stfu 1k
