Account Security

Post » Fri Aug 10, 2012 6:37 pm

In many mmo games the hacking industry is big. Taking accounts from users who commonly share their same passwords with forum accounts and other accounts. This is always a big problem and to make this post short, how do you think the security of the game will be?

Security is only as good as your common sense and software protection. None of which is ZMO's problem. Now, if THEIR servers get hacked, that's a different story.

They should have a security token though. Those are always nice to have.

Just released today Battlenet was hacked.
It is a serious issue and one that takes on some legal ramifications... Im not going to play armchair lawyer but you just got to think that eventually someone is going to force the issue. There is a layer of trust (especially when you are paying) and there needs to be much more effort to secure information, but also to locate and prosecute those who do it.

Now Im off to scrub away my internet existence and destroy all hard drives as Im sure I may have just drawn a nice target on my shirt. :D
