yes it shouldnt b hard 4 evony to find out acct was hacked with the familiar name of Hehemine being the main problem and coming out it alliance events. so its easy to confirm acct been hacked ,they should make a safe environment 4 the players or else evony will just go down
Instead of the "security code" been something we type in it should be along the same lines of the runscape bank code, then maybe the game would become more anti hacker friendly

Very true, if you can hack a password and username, what is a second set of passwords. Just a way Evony gets out of doing anything to assist someone, by claiming we have a second system to protect you, you didnt do it so we cant help you.
Agreed this would be good - but there will still be people selling their accounts and giving people this information so they can "assist them" and get taken, which then poses a bigger problem of them also having banking information
The problem I personally run into with helping (and no, I'm not Evony so there isn't so much I can do) is that if you didn't give them your email password, it's an easy fix. Most people either have the same password for their Email as they do for Evony, or just give it away. That always freaks me out more because you use your email for more than Evony, and that's a huge huge risk to the user. Not to mention that a lot of these accounts are linked to Paypal (which can be reset via email) so the hackers hold all the cards.
The problem with resetting it is most of these hackers have (if they didn't, this wouldn't need to be solves through Evony) every bit on information you could use to prove you are the original account holder. Even IPs can be spoofed, so you can't count on those readings to say "oh okay, lets just send you the information to a completely new email we can't verify, and give you this account. Anyone could go "hey, it really is me, I gots haxed I'm not trying to get revenge!" which poses even bigger issues. Just my two cents, feel free to throw the tomatoes now![]()

Anyone using the internet opens themselves up to vulnerabilities if they are not safe. Think of it like doing the dirty deed without a condom. I have condoms on my fingers right now as I type. Anyways, who is to say this so-called "hacked" person didn't compromise his own account?
Be responsible for your log-in passwords, change them every 30 days, don't visit fishy sites, protect your computer against viruses and spyware. Evony can not hold your hand while you use the internet. They have even bumped up protection by adding a secondary password to protect against trashing your account.
Sorry, but I don't buy the 'hacking' thing.
