    Default Resent Account Resets

    As of lately I have noticed alot of weird account resets lately. People stake claim they havent shared their account information at all. Just in our allaince today a person that spends a ton of cash mysteriously leaves VH position, leaves allaince and account reset. This has happened to 2 people i know on server 150 so far. Someone from our allaince on 147 said his account there was reset today also. So people, please secure your accounts. Push Evony to fix their security system on site also as its not 100% secure. Also secure any servers from obtaining valuable details like login information etc etc. Fix cookies where it dont save login details also over a wireless network. If you encountered this issue please post your remarks here also. Make this well known

    There is nothing that can be done to protect against people being too stupid to realise they shouldn't give their account details away to anyone, even those they think they can trust.

    The problem TC is that recently there have been many complaints of account hijacks without the victims sharing their info at all. Sure, they could lie and say they don't share. But there have been so many complaints that I almost see this related.

    It's not just down to sharing your account details, although I'm sure that is the main cause of account hacking. As Rota explained in another thread, a few simple leading questions means that another player is able to work out your password and email.

    Just be extra vigilant about what your security questions are & don't use names of your actual schools/colleges etc as that is too easily found out.

    Thanks to Infinitus for the epic B'day pressie!

    Well, heard of hijackings that didn't involve acct sharing. Maybe evony is hunting down acct sharers and took out your missing VH because they had an itch trigger finger or maybe by accident.
