Earlier today someone managed to get on my ESO name (eX_Aetius) and blew about 40 points off of my name. I honestly have no idea how someone could possibly do this, as Poshwa and myself are the only ones that know the password, and Poshwa wasn't the one doing it. I don't think hacking is a major problem on ESO, but I just want to warn everyone that it is indeed possible and that you guys really should be wary of people who do these kinds of things.
I've not been hacked. However, I heard a lot of stories about hackers on ESO. I think ES should make some kind of security feature to prevent or hinder hacking. I like the idea of a reset on the account so you can't log on if you're password is entered incorrectly 5 times. Perhaps if you entered you're password wrong 5 time you can't get into you're account until you change you're password.
Don't judge those who try and fail. Judge only those who fail to try.

I'm sure this'll turn out to be a case of somebody hacking without needing to work out passwords.

Are you sure about things? I checked your list of games and there was only one loss against IntoTheLight on that day preceeded by 7 wins. Is that the game you didn't play?

This had happened a lot before. ES_Matty said he was taking a look at this but so far we havent had any responses from him.
We've had 4 clans having the same problem, and it seems like he doesnt need to know your password nor does he find it out, he just changes it and the secret question.

Yeah Caden, but he lost like 35 points, which is a ton of points at that level. Anyways, I've got it up to 1995 now, and I haven't had any problems since, so I'm guessing that whoever did it won't be able to again.
