The mother load; HACKED

General Discussion Started Last reply 78 posts
Huge grats to the thief who hacked my account that really was a big score for you. 2.5 billion adena. 5/5 Boss jewels +4 120/ Vorpal Heavy Armors/ +5 Cutter 300 / stones / crystals / Drac set / +3 Vesper Stormer Haste 250 elem.. wow wow wow and this isnt even half of it. For someone who has payed to play for over 7 years this is quite the kick in the face end for me if NCsoft decides to do nothing about it. For those of you who believe I've shared my info with other people or think for 2 seconds it wont happen to you. BEWARE!

next time think twice before using illegal programs :)
2.5 billion adena?


maybe next time you shouldnt buy gold from farmers broseph
For an older player, before merges and new gear, 2.5 billion was nothing. Several people I knew had over 10 bil themselves.

If you did nothing wrong, and truly got hacked, I feel bad for you man. Good luck on recovery.
Same here - all gone. Good luck and hopefully you'll get your stuff back.

I'm still waiting for any reply. It's been a week. So don't get your hopes high up though :(
**** Hammer, sad to see that happened. I know your an honest player (known you for "in-game" for years) After getting geared up after coming back myself, im pretty poor myself (mid A grade on a 79/78 toon) or id help you out.
2.5 billion adena?

What's your theory here? That a gold seller automatically gets someone's account information after they send them Adena? I'd love to know how that works.

To the OP, good luck in getting your kit back.
I have a strong belief that bot programs might be sniffing login info, so don't trust them for a second.

So play legit.
Dont bot/buy adena.
Change your pass every week or less.

Now that l2 is free, you can keep your money or precious stuff on a dummy account when you leave your computer to log out or to idle as a mentor.
the day l2 became f2p i got hacked the same day. had the best gears you could have in this game,

emailed them...took 4 weeks to awnser back then they said they couldnt help cause it didnt show in the logs and they cant do anything after 3weeks.

ncsoft know they have a failure in their security system and they just dont want to admit it
so they take their time to awnsers petition so they can use the it doesnt show in the logs cause it happened to many weeks ago excuse

engrish!
What the hell is wrong with some of you people. If I did something illegal in game which could have caused this to happen do you really think I would come on Official and ***** about it? I've played this game going on 8 years. The gear and adena I worked for. So just ****! and be warned, your account is not as safe as you pretend it is. enuf said
Insinuating (look it up) that DaHammer somehow caused this himself is the wrong move. The amount of time he spent ingame alone would prove otherwise. He has to the best of my knowledge been the "cleanest" player I know. He has earned everything he has ever gotten in game. Hell, hes one of the few people that would start groups just for the purpose of leveling people that werent FoM classes cause he hated to see people relegated (again, look it up) to soloing.
I PLAY ONLINE GAMES FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS AND I NEVER GOT HACKED USING THE SAME LOGIN AND PASSWORD ALL THIS TIME, THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO ARE HACKED ARE THE ONES USING ILLEGAL PROGRAMS OR PLAYING IN LAN HOUSE

:rolleyes:

Uhh...Wrong, I had one of my accounts hacked a few years ago, it took a few months of NCSoft looking into it, but they found that it actually happened, and got my account back, and I got everything I had back. I have never used 3rd party programs, or done anything illegal in this game, but it does happen, not that often, but it does happen.

You can pick up a keylogger from almost any website you go to, they are created everyday, and antivirus systems cannot always keep up, so it is possible to have a keylogger and not know it until it's too late.

So to say only players using illegal means, or sharing info get "hacked" is not entirely true.

2tfm thank you for stating my case. It does make me feel a little better from someone who knows how long and hard I've been playing to help explain to the community that my account was indeed "hacked" , "keylogged" , "stolen" whatever the hell you wanna call it. YOUR ACCOUNTS ARE NOT SAFE! I dont care who you are or what you do or dont do. If it happened to me, it can happen to you.
This seems to be happening to ALOT of people lately very suspicious NC.

More then likely it was a database error.

If they truly did reimburse people like this then you can sell your adena + gear or w/e for real cash and then get NCsoft to recover it for you. Nice scam eh?
Yes, it seems to happen a lot recently. Someone I know who took a year-long break from the game came back recently, I accepted her as mentee, but then only a couple days later her account got taken over and all her stuff traded/sold (she's lvl 78 and more of a "plays the game to chat" person, so I am pretty sure there was no powerlvling service/bot program thing going on).

Like others already mentioned, the most likely problem is that some websites use an exploit with flash/pdf/whatever to install a keylogger on your system. It does not even have to be a "shady L2 website", the keyloggers I read about on the antivirus pages know LOTS of online games and send everything they find back to the keylogger owner, so it could be that you go to some generic gaming/lolcat website or maybe even a website for some completely different online game, pick up the keylogger, it reports all your various game login info back to the keylogger owner and that one then sells the login info for WoW to someone, the L2 info to someone else again, etc. - and those other people then empty each account and sell the adena they stole.
I also got hacked and both of my charcters linked to the account are now...how to say...yes...naked...they don't even have single adena left. Everythings gone...

I noticed two mails sent form the accout to the users "xiaobao" and "kiasdw"...maybe anything can be done against them!? Don't know... :mad:
it sickens me to read about some legit player being hacked and having everything they worked for taken. Over the near 8 years if you played this long it is entirely possible to have that much money. Especially if you've ran a clan or had friends quit and pass along gear and valuable items to sell. Not everyone cheats and bots. The game wasn't as easy as it is now and some of us old players know how to farm adena through quest rewards. Maybe he hoarded mats and crafted items to sell and saved up. There's a lot of factors besides buying adena. Everyone's always quick to accuse.

I think you could change your passwords daily and it doesn't make you any more safer than the guy who has never changed his. It helps,but I don't think it's major. I've been sent fake emails where the sender claims they are NC support and that I need to enter my info because my account has been suspended. First rule: Never follow links in emails. Second if you are worried,close the window and open a new one and log into your accounts from the official site. Low and behold my accounts were fine and in good standing.
Bump this thread
Ugh, all these hackings are sickening. It'd be nice if NC chimed in on the issue, it's obviously prevalent.

This among the suspended petitions,botters,program users,login traffic and adena spammers will kill this game just like Aion. It's sad that a community of players who have been loyal since beta have to deal with this. If NC offered pay servers I'd be all over it. Paying keeps out the trash and manageable server populations. I predict in 6 months all that will be left is bots and spammers.
for the topic starter : hey dude i am sorry for ya, i know how much that hurts , almost 8 years :mad: and yes guys in 8 years its quiet easy to gather up this kinda money , friend of mine made 2b on market durin freya update just before GoD , and he did that in 2-4 weeks.

we all should gather up and make a massive Poll so Ncsoft hears us cuz most of the time some of the priority serious posts get lost between the blablablubb posts

NC seriously has to put in some hard working hours now not in 5 months ...

if bots keep going freely and this hacking keeps happening then the L2 we know right here will be gone at its best within the next year

i heard yday that the first play"bot"ers on Naia hit lv 99 :confused:
duno if this is true but seriously no way in hell someone can get to 99 this fast without having 4 persons play the same toon or run bot
The same thing happend to me, I can't say I had Billions but I had Millions worth of enchanted Gear on, all my valueable items got taken from my account, and bank and what couldnt be sold or sent out via mail was sold to a vendor.

1. This happend when the game went Free 2 Play, it was fine for years before that because I had quit playing.

2. NC Soft did not add secondary password which protects just incase a keylogger got installed, yet I donwloaded a F2P MMORPG recently called Dragona and they offerer 2 secondary password options and a way to lock your character with another Password just incase.

3. I submit a ticket over a week ago still have not got no response to getting my gear back and can't even play the game.

4. I checked my computer with my AntiVirus that detects viruses, and also Malaware bytes It found no viruses period.

5. I dont know when or how long it is going to take for them to fix these problems but they should have already put in a Secondary Password system to prevent such to others because this is stupid that we can't feel safe even playing the game.

6. No I did not use the same password as all other services either, I use different passwords even changed my L2 Password yet again.

7. I have no shared my account info with anyone else.

Also I have played L2 Since 2006 at least that I know of I just quit because I got tired of the boring grind and such but all my stuff was there for years until it went Free 2 Play. It seems like if someone had my info as I did not change my info from not playing for this many years they would have logged into my account renew the subscription and taken all my stuff years ago while I was not even interested in L2.

Did you also use the "Path to awakeing" site, to claim the rewards from there, where you have to ligin with your account data (just as here in the forum)?
My sympathies m8, I know how it is playing legit, I am one of those guys myself.

But, did NCsoft replied back that they will not even investigate on this matter? This sounds really unprofessional.

I would also worry more than just only for the game. If you haven't used a net cafe pc or someone elses pc to log into your account, you should start worrying about keylogers on your very workstation. Meaning that they might have caught all your password for all the applications you have been using.
I would not trust my pc anymore and I would suggest you re-install everything from scratch, unless you are confident you can remove all the "Shilen" sent evil creatures from your pc.

I would not worry about the website. SSL is used for encryption and the site's certificate is encrypted with an RSA 2048bit key, which is quiet secure. This means the password is sent encrypted to the website and should be safe.

The only possibility is if he used a link from a possible phising email that redirected him to a malicious site pretending to be the official web page.
I just registered here and I am already annoyed by those threads about hacked accounts. It's your own god**** fault if you lose your account. Why bother others about it? You can't even tell which one of your 10 keyloggers or which of your 20 so-called friends caused the issue.

What a FAIL!

If you would read more carefully, you would see, that more than 90% of the players with hacked accounts have neither shared their account data, nor habe a used the game on a public machine or have keyloggers installed. Its just happening random, no matter if you were playing for years, or just started playing, it even don't matter if you changed your PW from time to time...so why you register here, just to blame others???

If I read a post like yours, I'm just hoping that you're the next, whos account gets hacked, so that you can also share this annoying situation with all the other legit players!!!
Thank you! No I don't believe in randomly hacked accounts. :rolleyes:
I did check the path to awakening site which I saw advertised in game, but it said my characters could not claim the rewards but I had only checked that the first time it was talked about in game and never tried it since. But there has to be some reason that my account would just be randomly logged into by someone and all the items taken on going Free 2 Play.

I have played over 10 different MMORPG Titles, most of them which have Secondary Passwords, and if in fact I had a keylogger installed on my PC I would have had those accounts taken from me as well but have not seen a sign of anything, and no they do not use the same password as my L2 account.

What this guy said, I have access to dozens of accounts, all which had MUCH more monetary worth than mine, and none of them got hit but mine, and same thing also happened to TWO friends of mine. I use different passwords for everything, something is shady and theyre not admitting it, there has been a major breach in security, I sent my petition in on 12/10/2011, its been escalated twice, with no response.
got hacked too yesterday...

all my chars are naked but the hacker was lazy/kind enough to leave my personal clan warehouse and all the pets alone.
actually, i have a feeling the hackers are using some kind of scripts for gear transfer because they were very selective about what item types to take. optionally it may be some database bug :T

Same here and agreeing to the point with the selection of gear...
To be specfic about what happend is I logged into my account, and found all my characters stripped of gear, I found some of my characters which I believe to be in different locations not sure but looks like they vendored the non tradeable items and sold off my gear then took all the gold from all my alt characters, my main character only had a little bit of gold left on my account everything else was stripped and left there. The only explaination I could coem up with is someone got access to my account and mailed the items because I had sent items to my alt characters myself but had noticed those messages in the sent mailbox were deleted.

I really dont know I would really like to see NCSoft add a Secondary Password System, and a character lock password system so that if a character is locked like in Dragona for example you have to remember the password to get back in so basically it works like this. I had made a peti**** on the forums but it appears asking for a new security system with that title broke the rules so it was removed instead of changing the title.

1. You login to the game user name and password, and lets say for the sake of it someone had a keylogger if the login was from a different IP adderss than the usual person it would send them an email warning, I know some game companies do this.

2. When you login to the game you are prompted to press in a code secondary passwords can be anywhere from 6-12 numbers for example and not repeated either like 1 after the other etc.

3. For additional security the person can enter a third character lock password which has to be used to unlock the character if they are going away for a long while like for example what happend to me when I went away for those years. * Each locked character can have a different password.*

4. Additional Security would be to require a password for deleting anything on the account, sending, or mailing items one time per login from that IP address so you use the secondary password to get in but evne need a third password to do this and it is a password used for that and purchases.

5. Require a name of the character when you login to the account like in Guild Wars, even more security.

Breach of Security, It has been happening a lot to a lot of game companies lately I really don't know about NCSoft but its been going around, I have been constantly changing my passwords on most games I play just to be safe, and keeping my pc as safe as possible.

I am just upset because I can't even play the game now and everything I had is gone.

They left quite a few things behind on mine, took my weapon, my adena, 50 or so lvl 80 lifestones, and some morai random drops. But they left 20+ ele stones, and the top / high grade life stones I had, and a warrior hat. Just seemed a bit odd, like they didn't really know what theyre doing.

Why are you going to take 50 lifestones that sell for maybe 200k, when I have 40m in ele stones in my inventory?
I was stripped clean of everything I had, except for my Vorp BP which had pvp on it and 5k adena. My warehouse was emptied out. Only thing left on it was non-tradeable stuff. Try, if you can, to imagine playing for almost 8 years and waking up in the morning with everything you worked for gone. This shouldn't happen to anyone. There is not one logical explaination. If you believe It's my own fault then you are dead wrong. If you think this cant happen to you, Im sorry, you are wrong again. Good luck.
I also got hacked and both of my charcters linked to the account are now...how to say...yes...naked...they don't even have single adena left. Everythings gone...

As soon as I read xiabao this came to mind.

Bot program companies sell your information to adena selling sites; its really simple actually. Grats to ya.

This is a copout, I've played this game 6+ years and have not heard of that once, until now when NCsoft and you nerdrage LOLOLEBAYERBOTTERNOOB kids need a scapegoat.

I love when people spout off ******** they see somebody else say with no proof.
is even safe to change password at ncsoft website??... with all this **** i even ask that
People claiming they got hacked either got scammed or keylogged, if NCsoft really was hacked the servers would've been brought down already. 3rd party programs could also act as a keylogger, but I highly doubt they would destroy their own income.

None of my homies who've been botting since 05 have ever gotten "hacked" or somehow magically gotten their logins stolen from buying adena, Lmao get real people.

Just an Idea, to find source of ****.

May NC Moderators can do some survey?

Question like.
PC/system:
- What operation system do you have?
- what browser are you using?
- what Anti-Virus do you have? (if any)
- Is your computer is directly attached to internet or is behind some hardware firewall inside local network?

L2 Game account:
- When account created? (not forum account but game, duration in years)
- When re-activeated? (last month or years ago)
- When last time (before get hacked) have you change pwd? (just before or months/years ago)
- Do you have same name account in other online game (Y/N)?
- Do you have same log credential in other on-line game (Y/N)?
- Just before you get hacked have you been doing any changes in your game account? (buying coins/sending web petition/etc)

Game:
- have you notice something strange in game before you got hacked?
- have you been using just before hacked 'path of awaking'?

Habbits:
- what game forum(s) are you using? (possible source of infection)
- do you have same profile/pwd on some forum like in-game? (Y/N)?
- If you have same : what one?
- are you using special, special tools/proxy (like battle ping or kind of)?
- before being hacked have you got some mail about possible **** in any game?

To whom stolen items has been sent?
Just an Idea, to find source of ****.

Good idea!

Maybe this could help sort out the problem a bit, cause there seem to be more and more hacked accounts in the last days...
its hard to say what is the best way to protect your items if you are hacked/scammed or whatever you name it. Maybe have an account full of level 1 toons and store your valuables on there and most of your adena. I guess if you have a good clan they can help you gear back up or reroll. I guess 1-80 is pretty simple with a mentor so they say. I know I'd be very upset if I logged on and everything was taken. I'd consider quitting at that point possibly. I don't do all that work so someone else can take it.

Defiantly watch out for fake emails,I've gotten them. Open a new browser window and go to the official L2 site and log in and you'll see that your accounts are not locked out or anything. Remember any GM conversations via email will never ask for logins,passwords or info because they already have it if they are emailing about your account and if you sent in a ticket to support they already know what they need to.
Ok guys, I have no respect for the trolls that come on and say it is your fault for getting hacked. For all we now they are the hackers. Unfortantly, my guild in Rappelz has some experince with hackers, and you do eventually get your stuff back but it has taken some people a month or more to get stuff back. The best thing you can do is take screen shots of all your stuff. When you mail the gms send the screen shots, that way they can verify that you had what you say you had.

Does this game warehouse have a password? If not it needs one. That is what we have to protect ourselves in rappelz. The warehouse password must be entered to get into the warehouse and to delete characters. If you put everything in your warehouse before logging off the hackers get nothing from you and you still have all your characters.

Sorry you guys got hacked and I hope they give you your stuff back. It is not your fault it is over 3 weeks old, its theirs. I would tell them that.

That's a good idea. You can do this everyday when you log off. Just open up the inventory and hit a button and done! You could do it once a week too. At least you have something to stand on with this.
one of the best players i have come to know in l2, we started off in this game like everyone else, ended up being in wars against each other, then clanned together and so on so forth. to see this happen to him is just one of the most ****** moments in l2 history i have seen.

even worse that ncsoft will do nothing to correct the situation. there were no illegal programs, or purchased adena..... in 8 years 2.5 bill shouldn't be hard to obtain in gear, adena and other.

all you know that when your account security is violated and ***** as this person's was you loose all desire to play.

thanks NCsoft for yet again DOING NOTHING.

Hi Sang. Much appreciated. I do have a support ticket. I have heard some encouraging statements from people and the opposite from others. I'll keep my hopes up that this issue gets resolved.
lol at all the new posters that think 2.5b is impossibru. farming wind/earth stones way back when they were 100m a pop + farming mastery books = billionaire.
I have my troll filter turned on, so only saw about 10 posts in this thread. Nasty things, those trolls.

Hang in there Dah! It's only taking time because they're thoroughly investigating what you had and where it was sent. I have every confidence you'll be confirming soon that all your bits 'n pieces were returned. Your reputation precedes you ignore the nubs trying to bait you.

Lastly, I don't think anyone who has posted in this thread believes you are anything other than legit... just some people's kids like to troll and kick people when they are down. We can only hope they're next.
People need to stop buying adena from chinese sellers. As long as these websites are supported by adena sales they will continue to **** and steal accounts.

I'm assuming that your saying I bought adena. You dont even know me and you find it, amusing? or do you really think you know the issue here? I didnt buy adena and I refuse explain how you can gain adena. Learn the game.
friend had same thing happen....but.. a very big but..cut a long story short... after alot of digging, it turned out a clan member had taken his gear! how u ask?
over the yrs they had played together in same clan, this thief had built up alot of knowledge, where he works,family,friends,hobbies,d.o.b etc..and from there was able to **** his account.... :confused:

give NCsoft credit where due, they did recover what they could of his gear :).
It's sad but true, hacking happens. Making up a 1000 conspiracy theories won't help.

But what's really shocking is the utter lack of care and player protection from NC Soft. Hackers, bots and Adena sellers are roaming on every server and yet they're being completely ignored.
Dah :(
Huge grats to the thief who hacked my account that really was a big score for you. 2.5 billion adena. 5/5 Boss jewels +4 120/ Vorpal Heavy Armors/ +5 Cutter 300 / stones / crystals / Drac set / +3 Vesper Stormer Haste 250 elem.. wow wow wow and this isnt even half of it. For someone who has payed to play for over 7 years this is quite the kick in the face end for me if NCsoft decides to do nothing about it. For those of you who believe I've shared my info with other people or think for 2 seconds it wont happen to you. BEWARE!

What the hell is wrong with some of you people. If I did something illegal in game which could have caused this to happen do you really think I would come on Official and ***** about it? I've played this game going on 8 years. The gear and adena I worked for. So just ****! and be warned, your account is not as safe as you pretend it is. enuf said

I know DaHammer for some time now, have done some business with him ingame, i'm pretty sure he got all his stuff the legit way, pity about the conspiracy posts that always pop up right away...

sir, imagine this: Lineage2 gets shut down.

everything you've "worked for" is simply and irrevocably gone. this entire exercise is a complete time-waster.

the only thing you'll have to show for your "hard work" are screenshots and videos.

kinda like real life you know. take pics of your family, cause they grow up and leave you.

For someone who has payed to play for over 7 years this is quite the kick in the face end for me if NCsoft decides to do nothing about it. For those of you who believe I've shared my info with other people or think for 2 seconds it wont happen to you. BEWARE!

LOL..? No offense, but account created NOVEMBER 2011 (forum date = L2 account creation date :D) and having THIS MUCH items already..?

Botting and eBuying haven't we..? You had it coming...
demi, DaHammer is older than i am. even you know reg date has nothing to do with in game.

I've been in game longer than my register date. My first toons b-day proves it

Reg date on forum displayed is NC account date... I only came to the forums in 2007 and my date is 2006...

But if he indeed is as old as you say, then I'm sorry DaHammer. Lets hope NC will fix it. I know before F2P they did indeed return stolen goods (not money though)
In my Point of view the person who is doing that i a "No Lifer Person" I mean what will he gain from stealing an account in game ? (Except for annoying the owner ) he wont gain anything at all , Its not like he is going to sell it for real money or anything.
yeah i agree that there is something wrong with NCsoft or NCwest what ever its called with their fire walls and accounts securities , Or maybe there werent ready to launch GoD and get everything ready they Just rushed into things , and if they saying that The have been looking into logs and havent found anything then i am sorry you must be blind for not seeing it , Its your Job to check into files So go thro it again and again untill you find the defect , thats how it should work , and find a Solution for those Hackers and get rid of them .

as for the mean time Change your Pw every week , dont make your Pw as the Same ID as your Account , Dont make your ID named after your email , dont make your ID named after your real name , Dont use any Bot program , Dont log in any suspicious Website . **** what am i saying , Just turn off your PC and Dont log in anything lol

Sry not Serious about the Last part just wanted to make some fun :) But i am completely Serious about the First part .

Actually that's what they do,sell the adena to trading sites for real money. They in turn resell it to player who buys it. He gains plenty out of it. Either you are extremely stupid or are just trolling and have no idea the things people do to cheat at this game. They don't do it to "annoy" the owner of the account, would you compromise an account just to annoy someone? I'm going with no on that because you don't spend time trying to generate a working login/pw combo to just annoy someone,you do it for personal gain.

wrong...

My forum reg date is a few months later..

When an NCSoft account is created prior to this recent change to the forum software structure...... it would not create a forum user account until you actually registered with the older forum. At which point a separate password and username could be created that didn't in the least bit match the original account name.
My clannie just got hacked, all his adena and soulshots were stolen, and he checked his mail, stuff was sent on some QMX. Could some gm check wtf is going on, every day more ppl get hacked!
I'm assuming that your saying I bought adena. You dont even know me and you find it, amusing? or do you really think you know the issue here? I didnt buy adena and I refuse explain how you can gain adena. Learn the game.

When did I ever say you bought adena? Your reading comprehension is fail...just like your ability to secure your account.
i do fear the day i login to see a stripped toon and a feeling of violation.

i don't click links, i keep my account info private, and for some reason i still feel that if someone wanted in enough or knew me well enough in game they may one day figure out how to access my account.....


you all can talk **** and make troll comments, but until something like this happens to you and you want sympathy later, i hope to be able to link back to this thread when your accounts get hijacked /cleared out...


while the term "hacking" or "hacked" may not be correct account can be hijacked and security measures bypassed in a variety of ways ....
the day l2 became f2p i got hacked the same day. had the best gears you could have in this game,

emailed them...took 4 weeks to awnser back then they said they couldnt help cause it didnt show in the logs and they cant do anything after 3weeks.

ncsoft know they have a failure in their security system and they just dont want to admit it
so they take their time to awnsers petition so they can use the it doesnt show in the logs cause it happened to many weeks ago excuse

engrish!

They aren't taking their time, it does take them a while but in case you haven't noticed there are only so many GM's and every server has more people on it then all the server's combined back when it was P2P.

It's true that it may have taken them longer then their logs go back to get to your post, but they have to answer every single petition out there.

Best thing for you to do in a situation like that is call their Customer Support line, you may get a result much sooner then waiting for a response to be escalated through the petition system.

This is why you don't take random people in. I'm glad I stuck to my rules of no randoms.
