Post Warning
Just wanna warn all you guys.

I just logged into my main account, the one with Pev on it, and found it had been hacked. My password was changed so I did a recovery and changed it to something different. When I logged on some Warrior by the name of Polska Master was in my fourth slot, but only level 1. Thankfully when I checked my other chars they were completely in-tact. I'm gonna go change my email addresses and passwords for both accounts now. But anyway my main reason for this was to say that as many people have reported before about their GW accounts, they had downloaded nothing prior to this that could have allowed a keylogger on, had not given out emails or passwords and this had simply happened. Most people have had their chars deleted and their gold given away but my 22plat was still there thankfully.

I'm running ad aware right now (virus scan auto-scanned last night so i know thats ok) and if it finds anything i'll let you guys know

edit: nothing odd, just the usual tracking cookies. But the retard had put his mailing address into account info, so I've emailed guild wars support and given them both an account of what i found and also the pratts address. I hope to god it wasn't fake and the guy gets into some shit over this ;)

Man, that must have been a scare. :? Glad you seem to have it all fixed now though! I did a quick check on my account just to make sure, and it's alive and kicking, thankgod. :)


If they'd hack my account, delete my chars and get rid of my items I'd simply quit playing GW I guess. All that time for nothing, you know. :)

lol i know the feeling. I think i'd remake my chars though just so they could see them in-game and know they hadn't fucked up my enjoyment. Bastards. It was some canadian wanker btw.
