Thread: Account hacked

    Easy to prove who the original owner is. Security Questions.

    Hacked is hacked, Evony should be responsible for players being hacked, that simple. I agree with what you are saying, prevention is key, but in the end, a hacker can get in if they are smart enough and determined enough.

    I agree with not allowing a host of alot of folks have your information, this can lead to unsavory acts outside the game. Given I use a email account just for Evony, and it isnt tied into any money accounts such as Paypal.

    Again in the End, its a easy Fix by Evony. Will Evony do something about it? Doubt it, only times I actually seen actions taken by live Evony Personel is, banning for TOS failure, or if legal action is taken.

    What exactly is your definition of a bad hacker?

    A hacker that can only get your email and password but not your security key.

    If they can get your email then they can get the security key as they would use the same method to get both

    I said this before and I'll say it again...


    So, what you are saying is that some random person guessed your email, then went on to guess your password, and after that reset your account without you giving them or anyone else your info? Even if the player was a expert Cracker, I would find that hard to believe.

    As far as hacking goes, I have never heard of Evony getting "Hacked", if someone did do it why not give themselves millions of coins instead of just resetting a single account. The idea of a "Hacker" doing this is quite far fetched.

    Now, maybe someone did "Crack" into your account without you giving them any info. The first thing you should do is make sure that you have scanned your computer for key loggers and/or viruses. If you downloaded any 3rd party Evony programs, they often have key loggers built in to get your info.

    Also, if you are on ANY Evony related site and used your account info as the login, then that may have done it aswell.

    I have no idea if Evony can help you or not, but those are some basic tips to keep your account safe next time.

    Also make sure you have a strong password, Microsoft offers a great guide on passwords, here:

    And don't forget that your Email account itself is the most vital part of account security, so it should have a unique and very strong password of it's own.

    not if you are smart enough to use a different email password

    Evony should be responsible for players being hacked
    that depends on the situation.

    if you are a idiot that breaks the rules and gives out your password. thats your fault.

    if you have a keylogger on your computer. thats your fault.

    if another player hacks you. thats not your fault, nor is it evony's.

    if evony made hacking easy, thats evony's fault

    I guess your another who has just read this briefly and then posted there opinion on the matter, go back read the whole thread then post.

    Its not my account that is the one in question, and 9/10 people dont actually need to download something for it to be there, it can be planted there, then discussed as a daily update, im sure you have heard or seen one of those at least once in your life time

    Look. to get one key logger on to one guy through evony is impossible.

    it would infect every computer that either A. talked to them, or B said something in WC, OR C Whispered them. you can't be specific without knowing ones IP.

    another way for people to pass a key logger on, is through out of game connections, is to infect a web page. you cannot load a key logger directly onto a computer without it being downloaded automatically in a download, or uploaded to your computer via a mass thing. Like I said, can't be specific without the IP
