I was tricked into downloading the Trojan HOFFINDER and a hacker obtained my password. When I found out, that my machine was infected I immediately transfered all of my assets (1500 peds) worth to my friend.
I logged off and cleaned up the mess. After cleaning out the trojan with the viral scanner and then changing my password. I tried to log in but could not, the Hacker had already possessed my body.
I immediately created a new avatar, went into EU and found the hacker in my avatar pleading with my friend to give him my stuff. After talking to my friend on the phone, we exposed the hacker for who he was. The hacker logged out. I logged back into my avatar and all seemed to be well.
A few days later, I took back all of my assets from my friend. A few days after that I logged in and found that everything I had was taken, including the clothes off my back. I tried filing a support case to MA about how I had lost over 1500 peds to online theft. Here is the reply that I got from MA after 4 days of waiting:
Thank you for reporting. We are very sorry to hear that this has happened to you. Computer intrusion is not a crime for MindArk to investigate or solve, it is a matter for federal authority. Therefore we must direct you to your local police if you want to take this case further.
I have lost everything and am now pedless. A year of trading and sweating and hunting has gone to naught.
