there was talk on krips stream that someone had found a vulnerability in the GGG forums.

It appears they were right..

There "was talk" about all kinds of weird exploits to take over accounts in the period just after D3 launched and a ton of accounts were stolen. They all ended up being just rumours without basis in fact. It's surprisingly easy to get a rumour about some exploit started and growing. In D3 there was a period that tons of people didn't join public games because that's was allegedly how the attackers would steal your account.

Krip was chatting to his IT guy 'james' hes the guy that helps krip with his DOSing attacks. James said he found something in the webiste code and that he was messaging chris about it...go watch the VOD from yesterday, it was about 30min for the end of his stream. - hardly a rumour

What's the point of playing an item-based game if at any time you could lose all your items with no recourse to get them back? Seems kind of silly to me.

What's the point of playing an item based game if you can just dupe everything easily? Seems kind of silly to me.

Clearly not as safe as it has to be.

And if you don't have time to continually be proactive in your computer security, then what can we really say when something goes wrong... Leave the title of "safe and secure" to people with common sense who, in addition, actually are obsessive enough to always monitor their computer processes and network activity, among other factors. The best you can claim is "unlikely to be compromised" with such a lackadaisical approach to security. You may as well move into a bunker if you want security while expending little effort on it.

People think they can run a virus+malware scan once a day with a firewall implemented and that's all the action it takes to be safe and secure. Technology can only do so much to prevent human idiocy. It's another example of people relying too much on technology to do/automate everything for them. Fools.

Common sense you say... So what are your common sense telling you is a adequate time to spend on your computers security a day? Do you think 90% of the peoples on the internet or playing games are obsessive with their security? -Hardly.
Most people have the common sense NOT to be obsessive with their computer, sp what are you gonna tell them? -They are fools, idiots, that it's their own fault? Yes if you are that self centered you will.

No, it is not their own fault, no they are not fools, they have other things to do like working with their reports to Science or Nature.

So yes my computer is as safe at is has to be.

But just out of interest, what exactly do you do to prevent things like this happening to your computer? What have you done that prevented this chines-guy to take over your account?

is it possible to check account manipulations to see what I for example was trading for ?
also i have to say that i still don't really know how I was hacked , cause there was nothing I do wrong.

It's not good luck we didn't get hacked, it was a mistake on your part that got you hacked. Unless you want to say it's luck we didn't make a small mistake.

Just got hacked today, I have done nothing as far as I know other than add a level 1 character to my friends list that never talked back. I assume he was checking to see when I am logged off so he could jump on my account last night and take all my valuables. The only possibility that seems plausible is that someone linked a build on the witch/marauder forums which I clicked - but going through them all now and they all seem to be official. I sincerely hope it is our error and not a leak on GGG's side.
