Important! Fake emails from customer support being distributed.

2004-11-15 - By Svarthol

Dear customers.

It has come to our attention that someone has harvested EVE player email accounts by scanning forums and other sites for emails to send our players trying to trick them into giving out their account details. The mail links to a copy of the //www.eve-online.com/ website where players are asked to log in to verify that their account has not been hacked. The email reads as follows:

"Subject: EVE : Account Security We Recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your account from foreign IP adress and we have reasons to believe that your account was hijacked by a third party without your authorization Please fallow this link for login in your account and check if everything is the same, if not please reply this email. (Address removed) If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choise but not temporaly suspend account. We ask that you fallow at least 72 hours for the case to be investigated and we strongly recomanded toverify your account in that time."

NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD. We will never ask you for it. If you receive any such requests, contact a GM through the ask a question section of our website or through an ingame petition for further investigation of the matter.

Best regards, EVE CSS
