My account is regularly locked because it is accessed from China. But so far nothing seems to be missing.


I have changed my password several times now wich does not help. I read the beginning post but none of the points listet seem to apply. Exept if i am already part of a bot net, but besides having a firewall und antivirus program wich detect nothing i have no idea what to do.


Some links and tips how to protect myself better in the starting post would be most welcome since i feel pretty unsafe now. I guess anything i achieve in this game might vanish any moment. But i don't have the slightest idea what do do or not to do on my part.


I would try to change the email your account is linked to for a newly created email account, try to do it from another computer or tablet or phone or something, maybe it will help if you have a keylogger on your main system

there are easier ways that keyloggers
with everyone having like 2 or more antivirus running these days hackers have turned to diferant means to access accounts
nowadays hackers use social media sites to get to your information
sins GGG uses a email-pasword combo as security ( which is pretty poor security i might add) its real easy for a semi organised group of young chinaman to get 50% of your login data.
the other 50% can be done with things like brute force or dictionary-based hacking programs.

they changed your email?
Your Path of Exile account has been locked because someone attempted to log in from a location that you don't typically play from - "Dafeng, Jiangsu, China".

I got 2 msgs for blocked codes, one from China, one from California. Haven't logged in for a many months. Reset password, log in, reset code, log in to game and find all of my items gone, Stash, equipped, everything. I do not use maphax, dont do 3rd party sites. I've played the game straight up with a decent password. I'm done here. Not starting over.
For me it's a bit different.

Whenever i log off for several hours i come back to a locked account wich i can unlock with the code sent to my mail.

The mails tell me the region my account was accessed from. First it was China now it is random regions from the country i live. So far nothing has been taken. Changing my password does nothing to change the situation.

I run a firewall and antivirussoftware which claim my system is clean.



If my email was compromised i should be able to see that someone read my messages and whoever tries to login to my account would have the unlock code anyway?

I did not install any thrid party programs and i'm not aware of having done anything listed in the entry post.


From this information... what should be my next steps to prevent my account from beeing razed? Any new tips besides reinstalling the whole system and hoping for the best?

If your country is small and you do not have a static IP, the IPs that your provider is giving you might make it appear you are loging in from different part of your own country
