It could also be someone close to you who logged in to your account and deleted your characters.

This only matters if your computer is only 2 days old.
If I was a hacker, and I tried to gain access to player credentials in an efficient manner, I would have a huge list of details to go through. Clearly there would be a delay between starting at the top of the list and reaching your details :D


TL;DR obviously you got infected by something earlier, or shared your details/email address with somebody recently. This is especially true if you are using a simplistic password that could be bruteforced using a dictionary attack.

You can't bruteforce a PoE password, there is massive slowdowns after about 30 attempts, making it all but unreasonable.
just thought it was fun 1 day after signing up for the beta i got hacked, reason why i wrote "past 2 days" instead of like 10years.

If you're serious about everything and would like to help track down some possible ways people are hacking accounts, head over to this thread and take a look/respond. But be aware I'm only looking for people who can help out and who aren't exaggerating things.
