Hackers sabotaging by 'gifting gems' !!!

[London Knight]

I'm surprised that no one has posted this before :

A HUGE number of players have had between 100 and 45,000 Gems added to their total when they log on . DO NOT SPEND ANY OF THEM OR GREE WILL BAN YOU !!!

HACKERS ARE TARGETING THOSE WITH VULNERABLE ACCOUNTS, and then sitting back and laughing when you get banned. Main problem is those that don't realize it's a scam - HC in our Sub Guild got 100 Gems & spent them - he thought he got them from problems during delays from Rewards beings slow & he he couldn't read the News to know different ... He's not been banned yet, but is s****ing himself that he will be .

GREE please realize it's not necessarily Players fault ...
Thanx .

It's a game bug, and not some devious mischief by hackers. Gree is aware of the issue and is working on a fix. A few players have gotten banned or got their accounts rolled back in error but those accounts will be restored soon. As for now, there will not be any new accidental bans/roll backs. If you have not been affected by this bug yet, rest assured, you can continue playing your game without the fear of being gifted gems and then getting wrongfully punished for it.

Well I'm glad if it's a bug BUT then why are Hackers on social media claiming credit ?? One Top #100 Team on Worlds has had almost half their team blocked just before Event started on Friday . They were then taunted on their webpage & on Facebook by a Hacker's group . Unless of course it's a false flag attack ? Just wondering ...

Thanks Cafedecoy for swift answer anyway :-)

as far as i know there is no single guild that had half their members affected by this bug. There are only a handful players that are affected in the entire game, and just from logic and probability you would be lucky to see one person in a single guild. I am not going to accuse anyone of anything but its not uncommon for some people to exaggerate or make things up for attention of for the sheer thrill of just watching people react and freak out.

Just to give you an idea, I am in an alliance with 300 guilds and the number of affected players across he whole alliance can be counted with one hand. Gree is taking this issue seriously regardless because they see that the players did not cause this error to happen and the punitive measures are unfair.

Oh okay & thanks for the information .
I was going by what others had said & you are correct about possible exaggeration etc .
One person in my Guild & one person in our sub were affected to our knowledge , but that may have been a statistical anomaly ...
