Originally by: fivestarmitz Just a heads up I believe our accounts have been compromised. We had a corp mate get his account hack and stolen. He only uses evemon, eft, and battlclcinic. We check on his last login and it was when he was at work. They had his account for about 4-5 hours. They change his password and email. He could not login on webiste or ingame. I would highly recomment everyone change their passwords. Eve did have a security breach two weeks ago. A petition has been filed under a alt he had and now his accounts are frozen. But we believe there was a serious security breach at CCP for this info to be leaked. CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS IMMEDIATELY.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll change my password from 12345 immediately to something more cryptic, like 54321

Last night 2 pilots I know experienced the same issue. Likely another site got hacked and people are using same passwords.. Just a reminder for everyone to update their passwords.

Yes, but it's often just a way to "lower defences" and to distract from the actual goal; stealing info. The only proper reaction to a DDOS is to take everything down just to make sure nothing important gets nicked, which CCP did.

Originally by: fivestarmitz You guys are misunderstanding me. He does not go on any bs sites. Someone else log into his account when he was working. He only plays from his residence. No one has his pw except for CCP. He does not bot or do any of that crap. He logs on pvp plex once in a while and that is it. They only sites he visits is evemon, eft, and bc that is it.
You are an obvious troll.
Everybody visits p*rn sites!
QFT
despite that, EFT and evemon were not sites, but applications. if they were keyloggers, the community would have found out long time ago already.
Anyone who uses one password for all sites, will be taught a lesson sooner or later.
-- the general advise to change passwords, and the heads up - is ok though. better safe than sorry.

Edited by: Arn Vel on 04/07/2011 08:25:06 OP, I'd take this seriously if there were several reports popping up in the forum. Right now the most likely explanation is user error. I am reminded of what happened with the recent launch of another MMO (Rift.) Hackers compromised the ads (download - key logger) at several key fan sites and ômanyö people had set their computer to automatically accept downloads for convenience. *face palm*
A large rash of hacked account reports swept the official site forthwith leading many to think Trion had been compromised when it wasnÆt true...
If I were him, IÆd reformat my HD and do a fresh install of the OS and other desired programs if possible. Then ômake sureö of my security settings. Torrents will get you into trouble.
There are several freeware programs for dealing with malware. I use Malware Bytes right now in preference to Adaware. I think Spybot Search and Destroy is still put there too.
Here is a copy /paste link to CNETÆs Download. Com site. Have a look at their security section for relaveant programs.

1234 is not a secure password.
Seriously, though, someone downloaded some illegal software, picked up a keylogger, and now the whole world has to know how your buddy allowed his system to be compromised?!

Just a note: If you log on while you are at work, you are stealing from your employer and also causing a threat to the security of their network, if they have one. Many enlightened employers fire people for this. Some go as far as to initiate legal proceedings.
As to the argument that 'everyone does it'? First it isn't true and second, that doesn't make it right.

Originally by: Terminal Insanity This happens when you use the same password for everything.
You sign up for someone's Forums, and your password is now in the hands of anyone who has access to that web server.
There have been many cases where a site gets compromised and its passwords stolen. The hackers will then try these passwords out in various videogames and see what they've 'won'.
Do not use the same password more then once. Come up with gibberish passwords that are pronounceable... for example: "GrolliEd0rfy". Typing that a few times would be fairly easy to remember, rather then random letters/numbers, and still harder to crack then real words.
Another good way of remembering passwords ist to just shorten sentences. For example: "The OP does not know the difference between a DDOS attack and a hack!" --> TOPdnktdbaDDOSaaah! Put in a little bit of leetspeak: T0Pdnktdb4DDOS444h! and you got a decent password ^^ --------------------------------------------------

AKA, the zergs did it. He is probably lying to you to cover up 1) His own incompetence and stupidity about security or 2) The fact he as a corp spy all along who has just robbed you blind.
Also you are a fool for believing him.

How do you KNOW this? By his word? This is the oldest (and worst) of this kind of excuse. More likely reasons are listed below, in no particular order: 1. YOU are the 'corpmate' and you need cover, ASAP. 2. Your corpmate did, indeed, follow a bad link, somewhere, somehow. These bad links could include many sites that he really, REALLY doesn't want to admit to (macro sites, RMT site, good old fashioned ****, etc.), so his denial really means very little. 3. Your corpmate used a poor password that was simply guessed or brute-forced. 4. Your corpmate gave his password to someone else so that the someone else could do something for him when he could not, and that someone (and I'm betting it's YOU) stole his crap and now needs to get a story out to the forums - as if we can do anything about it - as cover. This is my personal favorite, theft covered by an "OMG, haxorz!!!!!" The reason I go with this one is that it is YOU bringing this story to the forums instead of the "corpmate", who already has an alt (by your own admission) and would have been, at least in this one perspective, more believable.
Fact is, this sort of thing happens all too often, and the excuses are re-tried all too often as well, for it to be as you have presented in your original story.
Cry moar!
You forgot the most obvious ... gf/wife needed new shoes. This is why I never let them play games.

My dear peasant rabble-rouser. If you look at my decorations in game, the only public one I display was earned for my heroic actions in defense of the illustrious Chribba's high-sec pos, where I downed a couple of battleships in his his honor, like a true gentleman.
You take your filthy words back.
