I'm not saying they don't, Pyrocat. I am into security myself and know pretty well how vulnerable systems can be. That being said, I would bet you that damn near every claim of getting "hacked" in an online game is bullshit. What people really should be saying is "I got keylogged because I am stupid" or "I am just sketchy/stupid."
Oh yeah, I completely agree, but for 99% of the population, keylogger == hacked

Problem's been resolved. No hackers. Combination of someone else's RMT, a coincidence of character names, and a minor computer error. Feel free to continue flaming one another, though.
Great news mate!

I posted this as a reply in another thread, but I think it's important enough for more people to see it.

I apparently got banned sometime yesterday for a RMT transaction in which I personally did not engage. It's possible that one or more people are hacking accounts in order to use them to do RMT and avoid the ban on their own accounts. This evidently happened on my account entirely without my notice, so I don't see why it couldn't become a more widespread problem. Watch out for strange characters on your account, change passwords often, etc.

I'm interested to hear feedback from folks - is this something that many of ya'll have experienced?
Glad it got investigated man, congrats!

welcome back

I think p99 having RMT is a symbol of legitimacy! Also I concur that 99% of MY ACCOUNT GOT HACKED = Keylogger, inputting information into a phishing site, or sharing account information. Obviously you should never trust people from the internet.
