3rd week without FFXI
Posted On June 25, 2008 08:58 PM by kioshi_cerberus

Ok, so back on the 5th of this month, I booted up my computer and saw this adobe flash update thing right as soon as I booted it. In my experience, automatic pop ups are a bad thing, so I clicked ignore and figured I would do the update from the actual site itself later on. Afterwards I started up all my programs like Ventrillo and FFXI like usual, and without anything better to do, I decided I would go do some campaign battles to earn some more allied notes.


After I got to windurst past, I got booted outta my game saying I was logged in from another terminal. I was talking to my friend on vent as this was happening and when I tried logging back in, it said my password was changed..

wft right?

So I jumped on the phone to call POL support at the same time tried to do their web chat to see which would get my connected faster and during this time, my friend in vent was telling me I was logged back in and made my way back to windurst present.. ugh, I already knew what was gonna happen..

Anyway, I finally got a hold of the POL support and got my password changed so I can log back in and when I finally did, anything worth anything was gone..

Now, I'm more of a rare/ex kinda person than I am a big spender but the items I did have are worth quite a bit..

So I talked to a GM and wanted to do a roll back, they told me it would take a week to investigate the matter to see if my account really was compromised..... its been 3 so far :(


ugh.. what to do...

2 of the 3 people I know who got hacked now have their accounts rolled back and in order. The 3rd one (who actually had his whole character moved to -another server- and all his stuff sold there) we still haven't heard from yet. I really hope things work out for you. I know both had mild complaints that the communication from Squeenix during the process was sort of lacking, but obviously they're dealing with so many of these cases now I guess it's to be expected.

I'm glad SE is working with people on this though. I know some game companies out there that probably wouldn't bat an eye at the problem.


yeah, for that i'm greatful for lol

Dang, you're not the only one lol. They've been hitting alot of people with random icons lately, clicking suspicious links are really bad. And yeah, you should've updated adobe. They say theres a problem with the previous adobe player that hackers used to access other accounts. I hope you get your stuff back, and try to update that adobe ^^ that was announced in POL actually and FFXIclopedia. I think they should make that a bulletin now.


yeah, i read the updates lol.. one of my other friend's got hacked as well, so he's kinda in the same boat i am ><  figured its just a matter of time till i get everything back, though i wouldnt mind having an estimated time to expect it back :(

they originally said it was gonna take about a week but since its 3 its hard to say when i'll get it back lol
