I wasn't hacked

Recommended Posts

I use 2fa and haven't been hacked. Just thought I would share this so all those people that make "I was hacked and don't use 2fa" threads can read this.

I've had the same experience for a couple of months now. Unfortunately it causes issues with my inventory and bank constantly being full and I can spend too much time playing :(

There have been folks hacked that do use 2FA. It is important that you do not use the same password for your game account and google account.

If I'm a hacker and I brute-force shlepy157 's game account password, but it's got 2FA, there's a decent chance that game account is tied to a Google Authenticator at [email protected] . If that email account uses the same password and the email account doesn't have 2FA it's game over.

People like that will probably never learn, even if they get hacked. It's like getting a fancy lock for your front door and then have a spare key hanging on a nail by the door.

After I have been playing on Elysium for a few months now i haven't been hacked. 
It really sucks cause I have my characters all to my self and all my gold is only mine to use. There is no gold spamming on my account either, what to do?!?

Only an idiot would have the same password on a service AND the mail-account it's tied to. Then again, consider how stupid the average person is, and then consider that half of the worlds population is even stupidHURRR^ than that.

I had to learn the hard way. Lucky for me it was an online retail site that had an expired card saved. Taught me a valuable lesson though.
