Have you ever shared your config files with anyone?


No,

I appreciate you're trying to help, But please, this is not player related.

This has something to do with GGG and not with us.

Yes our info might have been stolen, but then it's stolen from GGG servers/website and not from us.

People need tech support because they don't know how to computer. It's pretty easy to fire one off to a guy helping you in a support thread too. I'm not sure that's ever happened to me, but I've never asked for one.


Well sorry but again im not that stupid, im pretty fking clever and believe me you can say what you want but its not from our end.

I'm not trying to blame you or anything, I'm just telling you to question why you know what you think you know.
The hackers probably used a script of some kind to transfer stuff from stash to char and then to another mule char. This would explain why just GCPs, 5-links and the like are gone.
A sword he brought, his foes to maim and rend,
from places dark behind forbidden doors,
But night by night he woke with frighten'd roars
from darkest dreams, too strange to comprehend.

Its orbs higher then glassblowers, 10%+ Qaulity gems and 5-6 links NOTHING ELSE 100% sure because I still got me 7-9% quality gems, my items in my stash tab called 2 Exalted+ and my 30+ uniques.
It sounds to me like a thieving group of poor sweatshop workers or mafia slaves got a list of logins from a a phishing script.

I don't see anything anywhere to indicate this was even automated.

The phising script would've been made by GGG then. Since that's the only company that knows my login + email.

It's not a phishing script bro why you keep thinking that? It's a simple security breach because GGG didnt bother spending money on security.
