What I want to know is there anyway that I can report this to Anet so they can track down whoever was responsible or possibly even restore any lost goods.
Thanks

Ok i worked out how to get my password back. What is the website to report things like this to Anet?

besides securing your anet account, you need to put some serious thought into how this person got your account details, and remedy that too.

An unlikely scenario (but most plausible) is that my account info was hacked off of this forum or another GW forum because I have used very similar passwords for them. But this is still highly unlikely since my GW activity has been limited to only logging into the GW client to chat with friends for the past 6 months at least (these friends I have known for a few years and even though I haven't given them my account info, I'd still trust them).

You should never use the same logon and password twice anywhere. What you should do is keep a notebook of them and keep it securely locked in a safe under your bed (fireproof of course) with lock n key. I think I have about 100 logins and passwords now and many I can keep in my head easily enough.
Memory is just a matter of association anyway. |

I got hacked once. Wish you luck, ANet didn't give me back a single gold stolen. Lost my deldrimor armor set, an elite kurz gloves, tons of golds/greens and over 150 plat.

One would think they should at least give you the ip address of said person who last logged aside from yours |

Last night someone had managed to change my password and hack into my account. They stole everything worth over 1k over my entire account yet thankfully didnt delete any of my characters.

God damn, this just happened to my account.
I use a lot of different passwords but I just realised it's the same one that I use on another gaming site. Don't think I can be motivated to play again. |

If you join a guild and you don't know anyone in it and they have a web forum at someone's own domain website, don't register and post there. Even if you use a different email address and password. Don't even visit it. Unless you want to use a library computer or something. I never join a guild that makes it a requirement that I use their forums.

So the same thing happened to me over the holidays. My account was hacked (password was changed with no email notification about the change) and was looted for roughly 2-3mil of guild wars gold (this includes ecto/zkeys of course).
After thinking long and hard about it, I still can't think of a LIKELY scenario for how they got my password. An unlikely scenario (but most plausible) is that my account info was hacked off of this forum or another GW forum because I have used very similar passwords for them. But this is still highly unlikely since my GW activity has been limited to only logging into the GW client to chat with friends for the past 6 months at least (these friends I have known for a few years and even though I haven't given them my account info, I'd still trust them). This is the message I sent to NCSOFT: "Someone recently broke into my Guild Wars account, changed the password, and stole all of my in game gold. I do understand that you may not be able to reclaim any lost in-game-gold, but this poses a security threat to me and any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. details: The hacker gained access to my account between 12/23/2010-12/28/2010. I discovered the issue in the evening of 12/28/2010 because my Guild Wars password had been changed. Luckily I still had access to NCsoft so I reset my password and was able to log back into my GW account only to find that all of my gold and most of my items were missing (my characters were still there). My normal IP address is: xx.xxx.xx.xx (though I do have a dynamic IP so it may change every now and then) Could you provide any information regarding the computer which accessed my account during the time frame I provided? (IP, MAC, etc.) Interesting side note: I never received a password change notification in my email when the hacker changed my password (but I did receive notifications when I changed my password). Is there a way the password could have been changed without a notification sent to my email? Any insight into how this could have happened would be greatly appreciated. I have not done any "risky" activity with the account at all. I have not even used a GW forum for quite a few months (I mainly just log into the client and only participate in activities with my friends). I have never given my account information out to another person (that goes for password AND account name). I also doubt that my computer was hacked because it is a fairly new machine that I built myself and I do not download needless or random things. None of my other personal accounts have been compromised either." |

Or it might be a planted item from another hacked account intended to throw you off.
