"4SCIENCE" added themselves to this group (since its open), and attempted to get me to "listen to some songs" they made. As soon as I questions who they were and which shacker they are (since the profile is private), they logged out. I went ahead and kicked them from this group. but maybe this group needs to be locked down....

The security "hole" in the Rift login system was found by forum user and officially fixed by Trion in under two hours today. It was a flaw in the login system that didn't require the hacker to know the username or password to gain access, a random series of numbers would just plunk the offending party into a random account. In any case, Fixed!

The screenshots and information posted on the official forums regarding the account database are apparently fake. Regardless, I'm still recommending you cancel the "active" subscription so you can remove the existing CC billing information. Let Trion sort this out without exposing yourself any more than necessary. Just re-sub on the date your account expires.

Account hacking is going strong right now and it's started hitting shackers as well. Be sure to use a strong password and more importantly, the following:

1.) Do *not* use any third party "add-ons" DPS parsers, etc with Rift. There are NO official add-ons, DO NOT USE THIS STUFF.

2.) Do not visit ZAM.com or it's affiliated sites. If you must, use Firefox running ad-block and NOScript.

There is a rash of key-logging going on with Rift at the moment. Avoid any 3d party dps trackers or so called "add-ons". Additionally, avoid the character builder at the ZAM website. Speculation is that one or both are harvesting passwords.
