If you want a discussion topic about it, it should be in the discussion topics section of the forums. This section is for providing feedback about the game, not speculation about theft. You're right, it is just a warning. That being said many people have one issue in common : a suspicious trade offer, it doesn't go through. Player leaves. Next login they are cleaned out. There was also the imgur i posted above showing someone ending up with another players login as well as the 6 year old reddit post where this happened during POE 1 accidentally. The picture posted has nothing to do with what you are describing. That was a session tracking issue on the website that let them see the players account, but did not let them login to the game with it. A problem yes (and perhaps could have led to a bigger issue if exploited) but very different from in game access. That issue, according to the quoted email, also only occured during a maintenance window (when some things get changed and/or turned off). You hijacking accounts or what? It's the same vein of security issue that _COULD_ cause this. Step 1 is to self reflect.	Posted by RKxZlcLUUF#5704 on Jan 1, 2025, 4:50:48 AM Quote this Post

People aren't getting banned after being hacked, although parsing the distinction is beyond a lot of people so it's easy to see why this claim is circulating. If you contact GGG to tell them your account has been hacked, the very first thing they're going to do is the same thing just about every other company would do: they're going to lock your account so that nobody can access it. Think of it as having your credit card stolen: you call up your bank and they're going to IMMEDIATELY freeze the card while they work on getting more information, to mitigate the damage that can be done with the stolen card. As for why this is done in a game like PoE, that's fairly obvious: if someone were able to access your PoE account and loot your items, what's stopping them from using your various levelled characters to bot-farm bosses? What about looting your guild's stash, or joining different guilds and raiding THEIR stashes under your name? Locking the entire account is the only option which makes any sense. The account will (eventually) be unlocked once GGG can determine that it is no longer compromised, but some people don't have the patience to wait for a few days when all they want to do is play videogames so they get on the internet and start posting in allcaps about how they've been banned from PoE because their account got hacked. I agree it sounds weird I'm just quoting what I've read in the various media reporting on it. Personally trade isn't so important to me I can't play without it so I'm just turning mine off for now.

No bro, its not security issue / hack for the cheap temporalis. There is a serious exploit happening right now that allows people to reuse Temporalis's Relic again and again. I don't know the detail of the exploit but you can check it here https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1hqtpr0/temporalis_scamtum_finite_farming/	Posted by bewilder2#0356 on Jan 1, 2025, 4:54:40 AM Quote this Post

This section is for providing feedback about the game, not speculation about theft. +1 In addition, im surprised no one called it out yet: OP calls on players to lock down their own hideout, while warning them of "suspiciously priced chase items". This is in direct contradiction to what every poe player knows: the trade takes place in the seller's hideout, not the buyer's... If someone lists a cheap temporalis, i pm them and they invite me to a party, the next thing that happens is me going to their hideout - not them coming to mine. Please do not read between the lines here - this could very much be a real and novel security threat to accounts, but it is worth noting that the way it is presented in this thread reeks of populist fearmongering tactics.

You're missing the part where multiple people have reported going to attempt the trade and the player enters YOUR hideout. They only need to be in party to enter your hideout if you don't lock your hideout down. Step 1 is to self reflect.

They only need to be in party to enter your hideout if you don't lock your hideout down. I haven't missed it, im just having a hard time buying into the theory in its current form. If all that is needed is access to one's hideout, and as we know this can be achieved most easily via the party screen, then you would expect a significant proportion of players in public parties to be hit by this attack method (and perhaps they are, i have not researched this subject). What im getting at is this: Given that all the attacker needs is to be in a party with a target that he believes is worth the risk (has a decent amount of stuff to steal), what would be the best way on his end to locate such targets? Idk about the best way, but it is definitely not by listing cheap chase items - which attracts hundreds of PMs a minute from those who frantically track these prices - therefore do not have significant wealth. One would expect either a volume approach: attacker enters public parties and wipes entire accounts at random hoping to hit big, or a value approach: trade in high value items at perhaps slightly lower prices (not the "bait" level op refers to) to attract wealthy buyer which are worth cleaning out.

You people are so delusional it's almost amusing. Learn to use a secure password vault, that is the only thing you need to do in order to never have your account 'breached'. People are having their login details intercepted, either through their own stupidity and/or vulnerabilities present on their system. Nobody is going to teleport to your house and set it on fire if you make something public, you sound like old people used to back in the late 90s when referring to the internet.

I agree its hard to believe but after having a friend get hacked and him explaining the exact same scenario I'm just giving a warning in the place the most people are viewing at the moment. Definitely a lot of suspicious plays going on. I'm not talking about the 1 div listing of items, I'm talking about the numerous temporalis that are selling for 20-30 div a couple hours ago Step 1 is to self reflect.
