| Post subject: | ghost captain (account hacked?!) |
Yesterday I re-activated myaccount after being away for a couple (or more) months. I sailed the 7 seas, got my first Gold Pieces, used some to upgrade and left after using all my 600 moves. I made sure that my Fame level was back to zero before reaching the end of my moves. Today when I first logged in I had 502 (?) moves left. Should be 600. I also noticed a new upgrade in my stats. I gets worse: My Fame level was 14 and the Inbound Attacks log shows some lucky skippers who had a feast succesfully attacking me at a high Fame level. I even got upgraded. I suspect someone hacked into my account. I immediately changed my password so hopefully this won't happen again. Is there an admin who can verify if someone played my account from an IP-address other then mine between approximately apr. 17, 20.00 PM and apr. 18, 11.00 AM (all PTW times)? |

At 3:56 am though your account was played until it hit and failed an Auth at 4:17 am. I have to ask 1) did you leave your game window open with live radar active and/or 2) do you have a refresh program like reload every that was active? It looks to me like you left your screen up and someone walked past and started playing it but when they failed the Auth and were logged out, they could not get back in. |

Thanks for looking into this on such a short notice. Yesterday (april 17th) I completely shut down my computer at 20:00. I don't remember whether I first logged out of my PTW session or not. I'll make sure I will from now on. Today (april 18th) I started my computer at 12:30. That's when I first noticed the "third-party" activities. So at 3:56 am there couldn't have been any activity from my computer. I checked my computer's System Logs to verify the shutdown and startup times. Any other ideas? |

To be honest I have no clue, the system logs every person who logs in and there literally is no login from 2000 on the 17th till 1200 on the 18th |
