Hope this helps

I’d be more concerned with the keylogger that is obviously on your machine.

There is no key logger , i got 2 antiviruses running , spyware clean up every day. They get these info from other guild wars 2 related sites.

Stop just assuming it’s a key logger every time someone say’s he got hacked , some of these Chinese ip addresses holder hack credit cards…you think they are not able to hack a fan site for guild wars 2 >.>

Keylogger? What’s with people assuming all hacked accounts are from keyloggers when they probably do not even know what they are. You can only get keyloggers if you download one or download something that has one in it. As far as I know I haven’t even downloaded anything GW2 or anything suspicious.

The most common way for a “hacker” to get your details is for you to have a keylogger on your computer. This then gives them a run down of everything you do and type on your computer.

They could of course get it from fansites such as guildwars2guru, however the keylogger is a much easier and hassle free way to do things.

Keyloggers can be put on your computer from bad email links, phishing links, simple adverts on websites etc.

As for nergoza saying he has no keyloggers, thats what the majority of people that got hacked in wow said. Then it was found that they were scanning with MSE, macafee or norton.

I hope you changed your GW2 password if you still have access to your account and made it a long and secure password that you don’t use anywhere else. If you use the same password for your gmail account that you use elsewhere, change your gmail password NOW and start using unique passwords everywhere.

I was in mumble with a friend last night while we were playing gw2. He said another friend of his started playing gw2, and he mentioned the account compromises to her, telling her that people were using the same password with gw2 as they were using with other places. She told him she should change her gw2 password since it was the same as the one she was using for lotro.
