I can't even get my unlock code. Talk about a buzz kill for wanting to get back into this again. I feel your pain m8. I hope you didn't lose too much. As for the code, email support, they are awesome and try to get back to you very quickly.	Posted by barbzilla#1393 on Mar 11, 2013, 8:28:00 PM Quote this Post

" whytwokay wrote: My account got hacked with all my high currencies and some of my gear taken as well. [...] When i downloaded the new patches i had to type in my password which was suppose to be "stored" and when i did i got a message saying it was accessed from another computer and they sent a code to unlock it to my email. I never got this email when they tried to gain access to my account and i know for sure they did not have access to my email. Seems really fishy to me, definitely has to be something on GGGs side, nothing i could have done to protect my account. Exactly the same happened to me only they also deleted my 75 witch. Immediately checked a lot of other accounts like steam, origin, email etc. All fine, only PoE account got hacked. Really really weird.

I just got hacked. For some reason that guy was also able to get this unlock code u recive if u log in from another place. might be proxy but this is what the mail says: "Your Path of Exile account has been locked because someone attempted to log in from a location that you don't typically play from - "Fuzhou, Fujian, China"." probably nothing to do about it except changing password is it?

It seems fairly often that these hacks come from China. Not that they should block an entire country or anything, but I don't think it'd be outlandish to make Chinese IPs go through a little more rigorous authentication. Or, hell, all of ours, if that's the only fair way to do it. Invited to Beta 2012-03-18 / Supporter since 2012-04-08	Posted by VideoGeemer#0418 on Mar 12, 2013, 3:46:25 PM Quote this Post

A lot of people are complaining about being hacked by chinese (me also), i think it's someone using a proxy or something (i have no experience in this kind of stuff). I dont think chinese have something against us lol.	Posted by eddie_m#4986 on Mar 12, 2013, 7:00:09 PM Quote this Post
Dropbox and LastPass use the Google authenticator service- I wonder if that's expensive for a company to do that. It's just an app on your phone	Posted by wonko33#2809 on Mar 12, 2013, 7:21:30 PM Quote this Post

What you going to do about that, been som while now and you must know about it? Yes, they do know about it. It's called the "Side with (bandit)" option, which obligates them to fight anyone in the party that chose to kill said bandit. >troll joins Kill Oak party >Selects Help Oak >kills everyone else >guy that didn't bother reading claims hack >lol	Posted by MaurEzekiel#5944 on Mar 13, 2013, 9:41:54 AM Quote this Post
I think a good solution for the Bandit quest thing would be If you get a second confirmation request if someone in your party chose to help instead of kill or the other way around. “Demons run when a good man goes to war"	Posted by Sneakypaw#3052 on Mar 13, 2013, 10:48:51 AM Quote this Post
