In the past few days heard rumors about account hacks after buying via the online store, also a friend got hacked that way. Afraid to buy from the online store cause of this. Can anyone confirm this? thanks in advance.

Online Store, possible hack after buying?

I bought Factions and Nightfall from the online store 2-3 weeks ago and I'm still kicking.

I bought Factions months ago from the store and I am also still kicking.
Honestly, I think its just coincidental. I have never heard of any troubles like that with the store. Its a bit more likely I think your friend happened to pick up a keylogger from somewhere at around the same time he or she visited the store. That or they brought it on themselves somehow by sharing their password or a clue to it.

I purchased an extra character slot from the online store 3 days ago , the next time my virus scanner fired up (8 hours later) , I had a Trojan Horse with the file name PSW OnlineGames h0122hff0.dll in my system32 folder.
Since the last previous virus scan I had not downloaded anything else , the only other possible download was a youtube farming video from the wiki .
