[Announcement About Account Security] Haven/Salem

This is what I imagine Loftar doing... and then all of us coming in to help him catch the culprit.

Anyways, time to make a backup of the history thread. Pretty glad I dropped the habit of making my password 1234567 years ago.

IMO having an advanced password will help in that issue, I had changed my password long time ago and thats probably why I am not on the list

I have noticed that these people have usually been online on the forums together at some point recently.

lol yea because whoever is trying 2 log on peoples accounts knows that you changed your password a long time ago

Well, I always assumed we will have a point where people will activelly seek for some form of attack not based ingame, let it be exploits, botnets whatever. So my main account (this one) is useless to whoever access it, except for being pain in the ass not being able to write through it on forums anymore. I have all chars I use, even alts on all other accounts which have 0 posts. Just precaution

[Ranma]

Dunno, from the pattern I can see...
MOSTly of those accounts were HnH Militiaries or PvPers
And with that, comes people who don't play and still joining the crowd of ingame politics
Including mods or whatever that actively following the politics

Regarding what TonkyHonk assumed, that the target pattern was top poster probably be true
but then, Jiochan with only so few post on his account, is targeted as well... So that's why I came with assumption of PvP-ers
and it does match with the other results

Yes, ramones was targetted but other famous trader are yet to be seen
such as flapster, etc...

SO I assumed the targets was mainly for PvP-ers and others are for trial or something

Any updates of the patterns are welcome

That is such a good idea! I only have one other account, which basically I never use, occasionally for trading, it didn't occur to me to use it for chars, other than the key alt. Too late now, ofc, but for future chars or alts I shall now be doing the same.
Even though I wasn't on the list, thankfully, it would still be prevention just in case. Such a shame this is needed though.

Thx ramones.

loftar does "2500 IP's" means 2500 IP's through a day, or 2500 one-time connections from different IP's?
If the first case it can be nearly everyone with proxy and any kind of brute program.

I also highly recommend you to add captcha, even if you hardly disslike 3rd-party components.

[Dzedajus]

Why would someone target my account, I have practically no influence in game politics. Same goes for Samu.
This is just really odd. Also my name is split in 2 :/

Also, congrats Koya!

What do you have against Koya? I doubt it's anyone in AD seeing as there are a fair amount of AD affiliates on that list (among them my name). But yes, it does seem like they're targeting recent posters in ICA.
