The theft of accounts, Part II

@ Leesupport: I'm sorry it happened with you. I hope there's a way for you to get back with us.
@ Caroline: I told you to remove the picture. As Kreger said, this surely has proven our innocence.

On topic: I had the same, I think around 10 attempts.

my guess is this is someone with a problem with the admins... they likely (as most criminals do) started small with a handful of attempts earlier in the month, and upon recieving a successful attempt or two decided to try their hacking program full scale.

I am afraid that if this attempt is as wide spread as it is, we will start seeing accounts going grey between Oct 18th and Oct 20th... I can only hope that the admins can help stop this before it runs rampant. But if the letter from the admins is correct then this bot will likely continue its attempts, so we should all make sure that our passwords are nothing common.

@ Lee - the admins letter (which you were unable to read without the account here) stated that the bot looks for common words, so sadly, you may have been a victim having an easier password to tap into. This would also be a good way to determine if you were a victim to this is just answering to yourself - Was your password a common or semi-common word? If so, then I think what I outlined was likely the course of events and you were the unfortunate victim of being the warning sign for the rest of the community.

Sadly, my guess is there were others out here that had similar issues with simple passwords, and it is likely that between the 18th and 20th we will see a lot more grey accounts from both sides of the war.

No, my password was not a common word nor had anything to do with my name. It also was a mixed password. But some people are just plain good at hacking, who knows. If someone was able to hack my PC they could get into my account for sure.

The Best thing to do is, to be sure if it is someone on TW, go on the rally point. select 1 troops and preess the attack button, if it says "The following actions between players that share an internet connection or computer, are not allowed during the sharing or 24 hours thereafter: Mutual attacks, support and / or resource deliveries as well as all actions with the same target account." you know it's your hacker.

Little late, I haven't really been around, but I thought I'd share mine. ;P

The attacks are not over .. nor are they likely to be, so remain vigilant. Since the reports of the 10th and 11th of oct where i had a dozen or so attacks i now have these.

Clearly Mattaus is looking for an account to take...

lol


@Phylo: I think those are your last log-ins, not the hacker's failed attempts, otherwise you would not see the IP address

So I have to say even though I thought the Lee acct. story was all BS
I DO now believe what he said
Sorry you lost your acct. Lee
I know how much 4 years and players' history means to them.

They have been working awhile to get to mine

Looks like the hacking attempts started the end of Sept......


I am certain that kreger is behind the whole thing. I mean he has access to and plays every account in W3.

No amused! Hopefully that is meant in jest cause these are the kind of comments (like "Cult deleted our accts.") that people take and run with. :icon_confused:


good thing I changed my password from AP_is_a_noob to something stronger

that WAS my old PW she suggested I change it to PO something something :D
