Do hackers hit poor people too?

Q u o t e:
Is there a way hackers can target you based on how much gold you have across your tunes?

Can they sniff out the accounts with 200k gold vs. 2k gold? Is 2k of gear/gold still worth the effort for them?

Every player is potentially at risk, and these exploiters take what they 'can get', unfortunately. Even if an account does not carry substantial value in currency, the account can be used for spam advertising or other nefarious purposes.

For those interested in shoring up their system security and increasing awareness of other threats, there are excellent articles regarding account security in our thread here:
