Oh I agree. I’m just saying... websites/companies saying “don’t worry about it, WE are secure” is just wildly funny to people that work in IT.

My friend who was targeted has multiple 75's with over 20-30M in items stolen.

Literally, all the good items were taken. It cant be that hard to track down who took the items, where the items are now or gil and how far it has reached.

Multiple characters could be involved, and for one person to have been taken from both accounts, main and alt, seems kind of interesting to investigate.

By chance, though. Or, rather, most likely by whatever they had related to others who lost stuff, if it was from a shared website/service account leak or a 3rd party tool etc.

And yes, of course the person/people stealing the items/gil don't have real characters to give it to, since they're RMT. But the accounts/characters they the profits go to banned for it, and the people losing items/gil get them back, but it takes time for nas to go through and give those items/gil back.

The important thing isn't that though, it's how someone is getting into people's accounts to begin with.


Especially annoying since we all joked about how dumb it would be to give such a thing your account info.

I remembered that, and would be thrilled to learn that is the culprit.

I truly hope you are correct Nab but I feel like you may be giving out a little false hope to people hoping to get their items back. I know of at least one who was hacked for 40m worth of stuff nearly three weeks ago with nothing done yet. How long can people really hold out hope for something like this?

I never used or downloaded that tool.

A couple thoughts I've had:
Maybe all the victims have/had a username and password that matched their forum info, and the forum was breached?
Maybe all the victims logged in during a particular window during the ddos that somehow allowed info to be stolen, perhaps requiring the account info to be stored in Ashita?

If there's any info I can share that might help, feel free to ask.

For those curious about a timeline: I lost my stuff on the 17th of December. Nas told me on the 10th of this month that he would take care of it. I haven't gotten my items back yet.

Nab giving overly black and white answers in a world of grey? Whaaaaaat?

Harley isn’t the only one, lol.

Certainly is not. Adding to the chorus, I was also hacked and had all my gil taken. It's very disheartening but still holding out hope like the rest.
