Just throwing out some tips for keeping your account info safe from hackers since so much of it is going on lately.

First and foremost your game account and master account should ALWAYS have different passwords, if the passwords match it gives someone else total control over your account in the case that you get hacked.

Next, know the official sites. For Aion the only official sites are http://www.aiononline.com and http://www.ncsoft.com, if you get a tell in game or email asking you to go to any site other than those two just ignore it.

Browsing safely is also important, even larger fansites like aionsource have been flagged lately for hosting malicious ads. An easy way to make sure you're surfing safely is to run Firefox, and download the Adblock Plus and NoScript addons. Chrome sure is sexy, and I like it a lot, but firefox and those two addons make for a pretty damn bulletproof browser.

As a lot of you probably know, I had my account hacked yesterday. Unfortunately despite everyone saying to make sure you use a different pw for your master account, game account, and what you use for fansites like aionsource.com, I didn't bother to change it because I have never had a problem with my account being hacked in any game, I don't cheat, use outside programs, bot, or anything that would normally leave me open to a hack attempt.

Please take my advice, and if you have not already, go change your pw's so that it is different from your game account, master account, fansites, and the email associated with your game. Not only did I have my game account, and master account hacked, but they hacked my hotmail account which I use for personal and some business uses. I have spent about 6 hours total in the last 24 hours on hold and am only a small way into getting everything set straight between my game and email account.

If this were not bad enough, my car died yesterday, and I had to have it towed to a shop by my work today, and because the tow service couldn't find my car at first, it just now got to the auto repair place, and I won't even know until tomorrow morning how long I'll be without my car.

Anyway, go change your pw's NOW if you have not done so.

BTW, for anyone who doesn't know, we are pretty sure that the way they have gotten all these accounts hacked, is www.aionsource.com was infected with a virus that had a keylogger on it, and because I used the same pw for aionsource as my game account, they were able to access my game account. Change your pws, trust me you don't want this headache.
