This hacking crap is out of hand. I really wish they had offered two-step authentication up front.

I assume this was a genuine email from Trion and not some phishing scam?

It's not just Rift. WoW, Aion, and I would imagine all of the future big releases have to deal with this new wave of hacking. And of course the recent large scale hack of SOE. Honestly, it sours me greatly. Seems like unless these big game companies group together and try to go after these hackers by legal means, it's just going to be a growing problem. The more sophisticated our authentication process goes, the more sneaky they will get in their means of hacking.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the FBI said there was no big uptick of info for sale on the black markets after the Sony issue, which leads them to think it was a "slap in the face" attack rather than a monetary attack. "Fortunately" I already had my credit records flagged for fraud due to my mortgage broker having a laptop with info stolen.
