Dang, why do people have to ruin other people's day by hacking them and crashing their computer? Hope you guys can find who did this. In the mean time, I'll keep an eye out for the links and report them.

Davy, in light of these viruses I have a suggestion: Until the time has passed on this recent hacking piece should the forum ask that all outside links are approved before posting?
I don't want to elaborate much publicly, but we have options under consideration and will put systems in place to protect users from these kind of attacks on the forums as we feel necessary.
I know who did it already It was Axel Or Interactive_Glitches sense davy is an admin he can see in the Users IP and Ip Ban his Ip unless he uses a Proxymy friend ( i call him tech ) can probably hack this virus or track who did this if u want me to i can ask him to help but hes gonna need this virus to try and trick him or try and get him btw my friend is 15 but still he can probably do it

Have they replied? I would like to see what they say.My letter to POTCO, written today 3/27/2012 ( credit to Leo - I borrowed some of his words):
Dear POTCO Staff,
I hope that you do read the fan forums from time to time to keep up with what is being said about this game and your work. Recently there has been a rash of stolen accounts, and not always due to people giving out their log in information as is suggested by support. Players are being led to web sites that contain key logger viruses that record their log in information and allows hackers to steal their pirate, destroy their hard work, and recruit others to fall into the same trap, all while getting that account perma-banned by you and punishing the innocent and legal holder of that account.
I beg you to put an end to this. I play other MMO's and an IP tracker is a simple step you can take to aid in prevention of this type of theft. Please consider adding additional security measures to thwart these heartless people who use their brains to hurt others.
Thanks for listening,
Kat Five Knives
Also, the only thing POTCO did about it was ban my account for 3 days, with the hacker still in control of it. POTCO sucks...This reminds me of the time I was hacked. I was younger and oblivious at the time. A hacker said that if he had my account information, he could level up my pirates for me. He said "My account has a bunch of cool pirates you can play on." I told him my account information, then I told him to tell me his. Only he didn't. He asked me if there were any linked accounts. He kept stalling me so I wouldn't seem suspicious. Little did I know he was in Manage Account changing my password. Then it was all over. He logged on. I tried logging back in, but it said "Bad Account ID or password." I eventually got it back, but he deleted some things on there. I'll never make the same mistake again. I just think it's horrible that any person would be cruel enough to go out there and hack a child, make them cry, or whatnot. It's just sick and twisted. I ask you all; What has this world come to?
he probably though it would be funny, to trick people into downloading a virusI cant believe somebody would want to do something like that,that it just sad
Thomas, this hack goes back many moons this is not the first time this hack as sprung up.
I am going to look into how many other sites have been affected. This most likely isn't someone trying to get back at disney. Ill share any findings.
