Accounts Banned (Dec. 24)

[Keyln]

Pretty sure they are seeing a lot more than you think.
They can tell if the gil is all going to members of a given linkshell which would make it a dead giveaway that it's a LS mule.

I seriously doubt you'd get your mule banned if there wasn't something shady going on.

I'd take comfort...except SE HAS banned LS bank mules simply because they had an appearance of being an RMT bank. (Large amounts of gil mixed in with many people trading to and from it)

Sure, you'd think SE would know better, but that always hasn't been the case.

[Kyreth]

Don't have your LS mules messing around with gilsellers or giving money to gilbuyers and you're fine.

This makes it even more important to boot gil -buyers- out of your linkshell ASAP. The odds your innocent LS mules get hosed just went up considerably.

I use one at work every day, never lost it once. Just attach it to your keychain. Also, SecureID does have security issues as well, don't expect that this will make you invincible.

Feel free to elaborate. Keep in mind that this is limited to the hardware implementation, not the software ones that are vulnerable to just stealing the .asc file.

Edit: I should also add that since this is something that'd have to be integrated into the game, don't post a WebID portal vulnerability and go "LOL SECUREID IZ PWNED".

I could call up SE, convince them I was you, and ask for another ID using only information available to the ffxi client.

I could go to your house and take your ID from you by force.

I could go on... I think he was talking about stuff like that.

Is there any reason to believe that perhaps SE is screwing us over with fake news?
I mean, "Special Task Force Unit" abbreviates to STFU and now the RMT-PWNER 1.337?

And we have a Goblin Bounty Hunter in the game to kill RMT fishbots. At Fan Fest when they first unveiled all of this, they started with a "STF Wars" ban list and they said that they ban RMT at 9,999 carp.

All this can't possibly equate to SE having a sense of humor. Noooooo...

My ToAU mule with 4 Moat Carps, some gear and 10k gil got jailed(auto I think) on Dec. 17(test run? hah!). Called a GM right after and he asked me what OS/Background applications I was using at that time. I listed all of them except windower(Fraps, GetRight, Firefox) Then he told me that they could've interfered with the system, asked me to disable them, make sure my hardware is not overclocked and sent me back to homepoint.



It does appear that there may have been some sort of a mistake. I would highly recommend reviewing your system and make sure that everything is operating as intended, and ensure that your hardware is not overclocked and you have no download accelerators running.

Happy Winter Solstice, assholes.

[Max™]

New grief tactic: GM a rival LS for botting, specifically a member who has access to the bank account... wait for them to get Gilded Tomb'D.

People complaining in a certain other forum about instantly being sent to jail for using pos/warp hacks.

You just opened the damn flood gates on this thread with that post Devek, awsome!

[Devek]

Naw, people don't care anymore.

Is it Allakhazam? Or something more illicit?

Neither of those are weaknesses in SecureID. The first would (if SE were stupid enough to allow disabling/reseting SecureID without CD keys, which they won't be) be a rather obvious and naive problem with SE's implementation, and the second is simply a reality for any kind of user-based authentication. Passwords, OTP systems like this, biometrics, etc can all be "beaten" fairly reliably by attacking the human element, particularly for a low-stakes thing like a video game account. Given that SE requires CD keys for any kind of account verification already and that RMTs are unlikely to break into your house and make you login at gunpoint, I don't think either are relevant to the discussion.

However, it is worth noting that real SecureID has a "duress" feature that lets you auth using a different PIN (which works, so as not to alert the attacker) to notify the auth server that you're in physical danger.
