RIFT Account Security Measures

[Mar 19, 2011, 1:58 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

An Account Security Discussion Thread on the RIFT Forums indicates that an exploit in the authentication system for Trion World's MMORPG has been fixed, after it was recently discovered that it was possible to login to accounts without even knowing the proper username or password. This combines with a newly implemented coin lock feature that required further authentication for attempts to login to accounts from a location significantly different from previous logins to address instances of account hijacking. Thanks Game Genus, where they have further reporting on the circumstances surrounding all this.
