Before we were getting the sensation they were not, accounts were getting hacked.
Since then, i decided to stop using the foruns at all. But now i notice they changed their forums. URL is the same of course, but definitly i see some changed, don't know if only the theme was changed, or if it is actually a migration to a new system.
Any feedback if it is safe now to login on their foruns?
yeah they changed the database on it.. but it is still hackbel but not by HQL injection they corected them..
Until they make the forum completely unrelated to the official site (iow: when they're not making us log in to the forums with our ingame account), I'll never say it's safe
they allready announced that forum will totally be changed, warning users to copy any topic they wish to publish again when new forums are up.
it will be made on base of the Vbulletin boards, wich i know that are very well structured and safe, just dont know if the loggin will keep associated to game account or if its a new forum account. also dont know the precise date they will launch it, but they announced it to be very soon.
correction to my last post, only now i noticed that a beta version is allready running, they keep using our account info for the loggin, but somehow i trust much more on Vbulletin than theyr own forum.
Bit old topic, sorry for bringing it up.
But in fact, the official Aion forums were VERY unsafe. They announced they were updating it for a long time, but in the end after many months still nothing had changed. Not only did some things simply NOT work, and were even small corrections just NOT done at all, also it happened to many people that while browsing, you suddenly appeared logged in not as yourself, but as a complete stranger. Never seen a database act like that before. There must have been some serious issues with the login system. But ending up logged in as someone else could lead to serious issues.
