As for those who are getting hacked. I’m willing to bet you right now that those are the same clowns that visit the Chinese gold farming sites. You log in and most of the time those idiots are using their same email addy and password. Not hard to figure out your pass for the game then. And some are saying that they have a security token. But I’m betting again, many people don’t have one which is how and why they are getting hacked.
And not only that, but they were wearing slutty clothing!
Blaming the victim is fun and all, but this is hardly the first situation like this. Rift had a similar problem - people were getting their accounts hacked, even with a validator. People like you popped up claiming it had to be the individual people's fault. Turns out, surprise, surprise, that there was a security hole that hackers had found that completely bypassed the password as well as the validator.
Very likely they'll find some similar security hole here.
Possibly, but I do know for a fact, and I’m going to say that this is probably the case for some of these people getting hacked that they don’t have the option on that says always prompt for your token. I saw this first hand with a fiend’s account this weekend when he came over. He logged in and it didn’t prompt him to use his authenticator. I told him, turn that on. To dangerous with it like that.
