What happens after..?
If this does happen, you can get your account and chars/items back (not from a guild bank).
It is called a rollback and you can get only one per account! So if you were to get hacked again, you could get your account back but not your chars/items for a second time.
It’s difficult for them to hack you if you have IP authorization set up. Even if they have your email and password the hacker still needs you to authorize access before they can get in. The only people who can get in are people who access your computer at home if you have it set on ‘remember password and email’.
You get one account rollback to recover any items lost from a stolen account, but only from outside hackers. If someone gets into your account from your computer and deletes/sales stuff then you are out of luck. They don’t cover that. So unclick ‘remember password/email’ to cover that situation.
So, have the IP authorization set up. If you get an IP verification request, only ok the ones from your IP. Have an email and password that is unique to this game then have ‘remember email and password’ turned off on your computer. In addition, if you get an email saying it’s from ANet asking you to verify account ownership, don’t touch the link as it’s a phishing email from a thief. If you do all this, your account should be safe.

Also, it’s important to not that an account restoration takes place only for a compromise from an unknown third party and that we will roll-back an account only if we are able to track the incident and remove the stolen items from the economy. This prevents people from pretending to be compromised by handing their stuff to a friend and then crying “HACK!”
