Please realize there is more than one way to define a hacker. Thanks.
I was referring to your misuse of the word "definition". I couldn't care less what definition of "hacker" you choose to use.
no one suggested this.
It's hacking and the players involved need to be banned. In fact it's information theft and authorities need to be informed. We don't know what other info has been stolen. Maybe credit card info which resulted in illegal purchases.
Lawyer up, class action suit on the way!

It really, really seems like you're not reading anything in the thread, just shouting from your soapbox.

BZ what is your definition of not happening for a long time?
In this game 1 cycle old is history, 2 cycles old is ancient.

Obviously in some matters (ie, chasing down Chinese gold cheats) this doesn't hold, because of the nature of the event in question. But in terms of the potential benefits that data about your profile presents then anything not current is useless. Especially since the parts of the data used that aren't very public already (cash on hand, gold on hand) change significantly in short periods of time.
