Not over yet. Maybe just a baseball bat in the knee. I see he is still a little new to the forums. He may be ligit but then again. Like you said more loaned armor gone. I hate it for him if he did get hacked. Gl to you and hope you get your problem resolved. And the person you borrowed the armor from is understanding.

One thing I have learned from these posts is never loan something with out a deposit for the item.

Okay, so, the "hacker" changed the password, but not the linked e-mail account, because it still worked when the OP reset. Perhaps he was trying to cover his tracks, and changed it back after hijacking the password.

That sounds like the kind of activity which could be found on a log somewhere.

This stuff makes me mad. I think I need a nap.

13k PED? Support case & call the cops.

Maybe you won't get anywhere with the cops or MA, but you certainly won't if you don't try.

Keep us posted.

I've changed my password and got notification within seconds to my assigned email.

This seems to be hard to believe since the person who did the hacking would have know the assigned name at the first log in screen as well as the password THEN they'd have to know the password for the email address to get access to it so they could get the changed password - seems all a bit too much to take in - maybe I should have a nap!

1. Changing password takes seconds (somebody asked about it above).
2. Gold Card is a must have item, one of the first you should buy. Even if it's not 100% secure, at least you have a ticket to demand anything from MA, without it... Well, you're screwed.
3. I suppose you will have to buy that armor back. GL completing a set, whatever it was.
4. Sorry to hear that you were hacked, but you kinda asked for it yourself without GC. I'm feeling more sorry for armor owner actually. And you, not having GC, shouldn't borrow any items. Now only thing you can do is writing support case to MA (don't think they will do anything about this though), changing your e-mail and password on EU web site, getting GC on the first login, buying back stuff you allowed to be stolen.
