A bunch of threads on the Diablo III forums from players who've experienced unauthorized access to their accounts suggest their may be a security issue with the action/RPG sequel or that the game's future support of real-money auctions has attracted more hacking attempts than one would consider normal. The threads in question are: Ummm...all of my gold and items are gone, Hacked. GG Online Only Single Player DRM, Hacked with an authenticator, and The hacker found (with screenshot). Thanks nin.

Take a look at the many forums around the net where the fanboys most gather and you'll easily find this argument that being online always would prevent any type of hacking and more stupid arguments like that. Therefore I tell to all rabid fanboys, told you so because as you've said it didn't take too much intelligence to see that this would happen.
There is a vast difference between in-game hacking, and account hacking. The people talking about the always on connection preventing hacking were, almost universally, talking about the former. Suggesting an always on connection would stop account hacking would be, quite possibly, the stupidest statement ever made, as the online requirement has no impact on account hacking in any way, shape or form.
Gloating over this and trying to use it to "disprove" the people talking about in-game hacking just makes you look silly and desperate.
Yeah, arguing that in-game hacking and account hacking is the same thing seems problematic. I don't know if that problem is ASeven or Diablo 3 fans but, honestly, whoever is using the term "hacking" to mean both is an idiot.
Diablo 3 being always online should prevent most forms of in-game hacking, particularly item dupes, because Blizzard will go out of its way to fight any kind of item duping people introduce in order to preserve their new Auction House money stream.
But account hacking is absolutely impossible to prevent because even retina/fingerprint/DNA scanning can be hacked. |
