But with so many clueless people automatically victim blaming and defending GGG I can already see GGG not fixing this or maybe blaming 3rd party apps.


The word "clueless" fits good. Adding ignorant to them will make it complete.

So for me absolutely nothing was hacked except poe. And steam says my account is safe and no one has logged in from another IP/location. my 2FA wasn't triggered either. Very mysterious.

Just shut up, I hope the same thing happens to someone like you and then you too will be talked down to

I've seen some posts on reddit regarding this and today I got this message from Google PW Manager https://prnt.sc/-meAy-cqkRdi . Needless to say I've changed the password and I was shocked that it didnt need an email verification to change it, a code, a link or something lol :D , btw this was on the poe website not steam.
Anyways , checked Steam loging history and everything seems fine , my account also seems fine on the PoE website.
Weird to say the least , it's the first time I got that message from Google Password Manager and no I dont use any 3rd party programs for price checking or any other stuff like that.


Recently(4days ago) I learned that many POE2 users have been stolen accounts, and stolen equipment, so I browsed the forums, players said that timely modification of accounts and passwords can prevent this kind of theft problems.

So I logged on to my POE official website, modified the account number and password operation, from the original login email, called“A-mail” modified to my new designated “B-mail”, but has not been received to modify the mailbox verification mail.

And then about an hour or so, received the mail, your account POE account has been modified to a new“C-mail”(this mail is not what I specified), perhaps, I made a mistake and under-typed a digit,

However, I didn't have a bit of Confirm jump link.

Then, I tried to log in by B-mail account and the original A-mail account, the result showed that these account didn't exist. I tried to use the C-mail (that is, the wrong stranger's mail account) to log in, it needs to be mail-unlocked, which means that indeed the account's login mailbox has been somehow changed to C-mail.

That means, the official website changes the mailbox directly skipping the mailbox verification directly to change the success, which is very dangerous!

Now, I can't even change my account back now, I can only use my XBOX to log in to the official website, but I can't change my e-mail address! Please help me to solve this problem!

I have sent an email to support@grindinggear.com through the original A mailbox, I hope it can be solved as soon as possible, and I hope the staff can see it.

The two main trading accounts of the hackers that were mentioned here and on other sources are now offline for 6-8 days. I wonder if they got banned and moved to other accounts, or if they are just taking a break and spending some money.

Yes I expected this type of argument from ppl like u: zero proof. lol. youre the type of zombie every company wants, dont ask just blindly buy the shit they give u.

Not hitting an Empyrian is proof for you this is technically impossible? Nice nutshell mentality. Yes I can hit an Empyrian, outcome is this shit is public in a millisecond, instead of slowly sickering through over weeks. I just keep it here, ur ignorant.

This type of things were already possible in other even bigger games, yet people reverse engineer POE2 already and so they did on POE1. So if you have 0 clue, just do everyone a favor and dont talk.
I'm not hacked but I just had a trade with a level 1 character. I thought he would just be a scammer but he did not try to scam me. He just opened and cancelled a trade, then left the group.
So obviously he was doing something, and it wasn't trying to scam me.

I immediately logged out and back in, in order to hopefully start a new session ID and kill the old one(assuming it is non persistent).

I don't know if it's a viable defense against these hackers but it could be worth a shot at least.
Im disappointed that GGG didnt made yet official post/statement regarding this, assuring our accounts and their database safety.

Worth to mention that almost twelve years ago Chris made post titled Hacked Accounts:

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/172532/filter-account-type/staff/page/1
looks like we weren't that far off. does that mean we have any chance of seeing our items again?

thanks for the transparency, would be nice if you could get some higher priority on unlocking the accounts.
