My boyfriend Oroku was hacked this week. He wasn't scammed, he didn't give anyone his password, nothing.
His password was an 18 digit inside joke that I really don't see how anyone could have guessed. His name was changed from Oroku to Figmuh and was banned for password scamming. He hadn't checked his profile in a while.
Here's the kicker. The stuff that was stolen. - D-Tail - Nitemare Scarf - Horns of the demon - Chain Wallet - Fuzzy Penguin slippers - Demonic Pitchfork
being the the most expensive and the ones that he was wearing. We don't know what else was taken yet, because the account has been banned and we can't see where the items were traded to or what all is missing.
And the backlog for this kind of thing is 6-18 months.
The D-tail wasnt even his! D: He was borrowing it from our friend in Iraq until he came home. I just hope we can get this stuff back.
But I'm sure as hell changing my password every week from now on.

D:
I'm sorry, Noji. Do you think it could have been someone the two of you know, if the PW is an inside joke?
Or he could have clicked on one of those phishing sites by accident and not have realized it until it was too late. D:

Damn.
That really, really sucks.
Especially if there's no apparent way it could have happened.

We think someone got into his yahoo email and just had the password emailed to them. Its easy to guess what that one was. :/
Both of us are most upset about the devil tail. I'm dreading when our friend gets the news. :S
AND I'M PISSED OFF because I've been trying to get him to give me his stuff for months because he never gets on. D:<
SEE. IF YOU ONLY WOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME.
xDDDD

Gaia Staff have to do something about it.

Yeah, I hope so. I'm not sure what their policies on this kind of thing are. What if they can't get a hold of the tail? Surely they wouldn't just give him another one, would they?
I don't know. But thats a lot of time and effort lost if they don't. :[

Well.
If Gaia doesn't do something about it...we could try to hold a charity art auction/ massive guild event to rasie monies to help buy a D-tail.

I'll gladly be a part of that if nothing gets resolved via Staff.

This happened to me last year on my other account, Lady Vierra. I had many MCs that were fairly expensive. Then the hacker got me a second time (because I reported him) and changed my pass... Sadly, Gaia usually doesn't get back to you sad And you usually don't get your things back. I quit for a loong time, and then decided to try again. But it still sucked, as I played that account for years. Tell your bf good luck and we hope he stays on Gaia <3 I'll gladly donate, but I don't have much =/

I know how hard that is, Noji-dear. My main account was banned not long ago as well. (Lori_keet) I didn't have a D-Tail, but I did have over 15mil worth of letters and items. I quite for a while and decided after talking to my friend Ambu on aim (gaia moderator) that I should inquire about my account. Don't know if I will ever get it back, but at least its worth a try, eh?
