Mailbox addon picks up items slower than usual, slower posting on AH & all spells are delayed. Been like this since 2 days ago. My Internet connection is as it always been. any ideas?

Yup

Nope, but you're not alone. A lot of accounts were compromised during the night.

Thank you for bringing this issue to light. I am one of the many affected users

My character had used the hearthstone to get to an inn, also when I asked the general chat in STV a guy pointed me out a "gold-seller" meaning that they had spammed their website from my account to others.

Yup, I too was hacked this morning to my great surprise. You can check my comments under the other posts regarding the hacking on details of mine but this is too strange to blame it on the players. I suspect it had to do with the servers being shutdown for an entire day.

Many people have been compromised these past few hours & there's more posts to be made by many players soon when they get off work/school I suspect.

Title, mine was compromised this morning.

Same. Apparently there's a 2 step authenticator for this game alone (someone confirm) which I weren't aware of but regardless. I do use 2 step authenticator for my email & it wasn't compromised, neither have I granted anyone access to either my email or account & my password for this private server is unique (as in never before used in accordance with my email). I literally am clueless to how this has happened to me. My suspicious goes out to the server shutdown in which I think should be looked into further from Elysium's part.

I didn't know there was an authenticator for this game alone, no. I have it on my email so it won't get compromised, then leading to my passwords being stolen.

Apparently there's no way to get it back, but let me tell you... You're not alone. There's been over 5 accounts who's been compromised the past 5 hours (those who've posted on this forum alone), myself included. This is such a weird coincidence.

My account was also compromised this morning. Everywhere I have my email connected to is fine but this vanilla server & I find that very troubling. I do have a 2-step verification for my email & it's not shared with anybody. I suspect that the fault is of the server when it had to be shut down for an entire day because afterwards it reminded you to change password on multiple occasions. I was stupid enough not to do it because my security measures seemed very good. But what do you know...

@annoyedhunt @Skink My account was hacked this morning as well & I don't have a clue of how it happened. I do have 2-step verification on my email & nobody has ever been granted access to my email nor my account by me. Along with that, I used a unique password that I've not used elsewhere so there can be no possible leaks of it anywhere related to the email (which has been through 3 leaks but none of which this unique password was used). I find this very troubling on Elysiums part & the fact that they refuse to refund what you've lost or even look into the issue is saddening to say the least.

I am suspecting that what made the servers shut down for an entire day had something to do with it but can't be sure because I personally don't know what went down, but there was a lot of messages to change every account's password. Unfortunately I didn't and ended up being hacked the day after.

I also noticed that I was hacked this morning. I do have a 2-step email verification & I do not share the email nor account with anybody, so how come? I've been on this forum since that time & been seeing quite many players get hacked... Could this possibly be because of what happened the other day when they had to shut down the servers for an entire day?
