GB was Ninja'ed this morning

Postby Asarelah » Fri Nov 20, 2009 11:57 am

The guild bank was ninja'ed by an account hacker on the Ezraella account this morning.nnEzra's characters have all been removed from the guild; and he is working with Blizzard to get his account restored. And Warzen is working with Blizzard to recover the missing items and gold from our bank.

><nnThat said, if anyone needs gems in the interim, I've got a stash I'm happy to share. nnAlso - if we need to take Ez (and alts) shopping for goodies in various instances/dungeons, I'll happily spare the time. That goes for any of us who get zapped by the ninjas - that's just a bucket of suck, and I'm happy to help with what I can.nnI'm reminded of a quotation from Shepherd Book - so do account ninjas go to the special hell reserved for people who take advantage of innocent young women and talk at the theater, or do they go to Heinlein's level of hell reserved for people who abandon kittens, or do they get their own circle?

Oh how unfortunate! I hope we're able to recover our losses.. If gold is needed, I may not have much but I'll be happy to donate whatever I can for Nyx.nnMaybe we should remind all Nyx members to change their Blizzard account passwords and their forum passwords every 6-months? That way it'll reduce the possibility of an account getting hacked. Back when I was admin of a forum, I've done the same (PW changed every 6-months) and the hacking issues were resolved due to that.

This is unfortunate but I trust we will get a lot of it back. Gold wasn't taken but may be used by those who can withdraw it (Nightwarders and Oracles) to replenish any food supplies, enchanting mats or uncut gems we may need for now.nnLady Nyx will no doubt take swift action to limit our officers amount of items they can withdraw from this day forth. Starting tonight:n- Umbral Champions will be able to take 12 stacks a day from the Gbank.n- Nightwarders and Oracles 24 stacks a day.nThis should limit the ability of a hacker to clear out our vault in one night.nnAlso, if you are an officer and DON'T have an authenticator please let Lah, Aitana or myself know asap. Lah will mail you one for free.nnRespek!

This means I more Wintergrasp fishing! Squee! Something tells me I am going to be busy in Northrend just fishing this weekend! Maybe I might get a turtle ! nnI'll gladly go and fish for more feasts and the like!

It's so great to see our members just up and volunteer to help recover OUR loss.nnSome more ideas/requests:nPlease send any Northrend greens to Asarelah or Warburn for disenchanting.nIf you're doing a heroic badge run, please take an enchanter with you for Abyss Crystal farming. nPlease deposit any Northrend meat and cloth in the bank too.

I will be sending Ezraella and Keila authenticators first thing in the morning, when I go in to town.

Took Ezzy (As her Hunter Lumi) on a bit of a shopping spree this afternoon courtsey of my recent killing in the AH with Frostweave. Epic flying is nice, but keeping our family being able to play is more important in my eyes. In the event it happens in the future to anyone else - just let me know and I will be more than happy to do the same for anyone else under the care of our dark lady.nnIt's what we Paladins do.

Keep giving people without authenticators full access to the bank.... what did you think was going to happen?nnIt's not the first time shit like this has happened either.nnMy condolences to Ez though.. Jumping through Blizzard's hoops to get your account/stuff back is not fun at all.
