Posting this to see if anyone else has been hacked multiple times like I have?
I’m thinking there are 3 possibilities here but am interested to see what others think.
Here’s some quick background.
- Hacked first time but used an email I used before but with a strong password not used before.
- Have always run Avast! and Microsoft Security Essentials and ran a key logger detector after the first hack and found nothing.
- After 1st hack, I created a new email address, a 32 character ASCII password and validated the email.
My thoughts on how this can happen…
1. Develop Compromised
ArenaNet systems are still compromised since this was a new email and 32 char random password
2. Developer Support Error
Is it possible they revisted my old tickets and screwed up?
3. Producer Mistake
ArenaNet sold duplicate serial keys through buy.guildwars.com and I’m fighting with another player reporting hacks and activating the key.
4. User Compromised
Maybe I had a root kit? In case I did which is really unlikely, I deleted my C drive, formatted it and re-installed Windows 7 and the game client.
I’d love to hear of anyone else having these issues. I was on another forums and one of the mods was calling out everyone saying its their own fault. Well, I used a new email, a 32 character random PW with ASCII, and followed all of ArenaNet’s instructions and was still hacked for a 2nd time. Something’s fishy right?
