RMT Hackers?

[Rogean]

If EQEmulator was compromised I think we'd be dealing with bigger issues, such as GM Accounts being used, instead of some minor accounts being logged into.

I'm not going to say our system is foolproof secure but it's pretty damn well locked down.. Please provide me with proof if I'm wrong.

Did you take a screen shot? That would indeed be proof that the system is hacked!

If someone hacks a user's account to perpetuate some duping, RMT scam, or whatever, it's a minor infraction compared to hacking a GM or ADMIN account. I mean really... what is the result of getting caught doing something againt policy if you're on someones hacked account? The hacked account get's banned. What is the result of hacking a GM/ADMIN account? Certainly further investigation and the possibility of having your own IPs banned, criminal charges, etc..

That said, of course people would hack users accounts to get their kicks in instead of a GM/ADMIN as the odds are nothing will happen to them personally, only the hacked account.

Alot of you are assuming every instance of hacking is done by an intelligent person with common sense that wouldn't waste time hacking someones account for trivial things. That assumption itself is senseless.

Thanks mate. I feel in the loop now.

If a person has access to EQEmu's account & pw database, it seems like it would be pretty dumb to start accessing GM/Admin accounts. That would basically always lead to very thorough investigations/actions taken. Also, any significant use of GM/Admin commands could cascade into the server falling apart, and items/pp losing most if not all of their value. Not a very smart way to go about things.

Logging onto an account picked out at random, though, would be by far the best way to facilitate RMT, because all it gets is one account banned after the fact, and a bunch of people on the forums saying "shouldn't've shared your acct n00b."

And I don't know shit about web security.
