Well its time for new character...hope others will learn from this

Learn what? There's nothing to learn if the players themselves made no mistake.

Well, you clearly learned nothing. It's almost always the players fault, because they are an easier target.

^ Almost always. You know, when the first massive hack started to happen. What do you think is the first thing most players will do? Why, change their passwords of course. So why is it some months later many level 80+ hardcore characters get hacked?

This is where the probability of it being the player's fault gets lower and lower.

He is trolling. Don't bother.

I did not have the same password for POE and my e-mail. Everything is gone. The e-mail wasn't opened or view. Is there anyway they can use a generator on the codes and keep trying till they get it?

I'm not upset about losing all the items but they had to go and move all my HC chars to default.... that's just mean.

Same for me, hacked today. All currency/uniques/quality gone.

My password was unique - it was not used anywhere else - 75% strenght on http://www.passwordmeter.com/ which seems fine to me.
Password for mail was also not compromised so I don`t know what to think about it.

I`m solo player, I`m not speaking with anybody in-game so it seems strange to me somebody "guess" my email adress and password.

got hacked and robbed too
was the first time in any online game that someone gained access to my account
seems very suspicious to me - so good bye i'm done with this game ...

Interesting, just got this email a few minutes ago:

"

As for this somehow being my fault: funny thing that, since I've not played the game or been logged into the forums in over two months (according to residual log files left behind in uninstall from when I last played), my antivirus is automatically updated every couple of hours, I never download/run applications I don't trust (and if I should need something like that for some reason it is sandboxed), and I used a unique password for logging into this game.

Quite odd indeed.

Your Path of Exile account has been locked because someone attempted to log in from a location that you don't typically play from - "San Jose, California, United States".

Just got this mail, haven't logged in for at least 2 month to either PoE Webpage, nor PoE itself. Got up to date AV, don't download fishy software. PW wasn't entirely unique, but didn't get hacked somewhere else in the last few years, at least that I know of.
Just fyi.

Yes my account also got hacked... well Wystril not wystril2
I surprised him in the middle of it too.
Got booted out of the game to be told i was logged from another place.
Lucky me i managed to recover my password make a new and access code fast enough into the game to realise only half my stuff was gone... Sadly only 30 sec later i was booted again but this time my email account deleted from the main site... result? now i cant even send a password recovery to my email.No i dont use the same password for email or PoE and never i had been hacked in my life before. dont go to any ill site or open weird email or go to any kind of link related.

Its sad to see that they dont even admit they have a security probleme


But i may have a easy solution to this password issue, if not mentionned before already. Like many other games have.. you sould add a combination lock that you can only click with the mouse.You cant keylog this or access it in any other way than looking at the screen and clicking.
