I doubt his account was hacked due to a keylogger. With the rash of cases lately, GGG most likely got popped. Probably what happened was some Chinese hackers compromised a server or database and stole account credentials. Then they used the credentials to log in to the game client and steal items from the Stash.

I got a similar message early this morning:

"

Your Path of Exile account has been locked because someone logged in from a location that you don't typically play from - "Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China".

This is what I suspect also, I received an email this morning saying my account had been logged in from "Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China" thankfully I roll with a 1 password per service routine so it shouldn't affect anything else if it is stolen credentials.

Annoying none the less, either way gonna spend the day seeing if I managed to download anything dodgy in the 2 weeks since I completely re installed windows :/

If his machine was compromised, then all his other accounts would more than likely show unauthorized activity. This is/was on GGG's side of the cesspool/internet.

i work on IT security with professional security software and Hardware Firewall
MY PC WAS NOT COMPROMISED

GGG send me a mail where they explain that their policy does not cover damages
just leave game with my friends for this reason

good luck all

You might work in IT but your PC was/is compromised, also most,very near all cases investigated by GGG have proven this to be true, so your ignorance just because you work in IT is going to be your biggest problem... and you should know that PC's are never truly secure.
