I don't understand the point of hacking active accounts.

Within two months you're very likely to get banned, and most everything you do on Gaia is traceable... unless there's some new technique, I don't know why people still do this

It's because they think they know better. But they fall just as hard as the others.

Eh, there's not much point in hacking in general. There's always a chance of getting caught.

most people i hack in Gaia are kids (12 year olds) I just lock down their account / delete everything and they won't even bother to search for their lost account, sometimes I laugh cuz some of them say that they actually cried and told their mom about it xD

Ok First of all. Please PLEASE don't come in here thinking you know everything. Second. Hacking active accounts is a good way to get a fast buck. Usually if they are dumb enough. add them from ur mule on gaia and tell them that buying gaia cash is awesome and you get a bonus. After they buy it and use it. bam up over 500k more. Then or jsut keep at there original state. and get a fast customer on a forum site. And bam. Quick buck. I do this alot. but not lately.

I use the towns FLP to phish people's account. I usually do it to people who beg me the stuff I do in towns. They fall for it everytime.

Sir. You do realize that if you sell "hot" goods like that on LG, you get the buyer banned. After that, doesn't LG have a strict return policy if you get people banned or something? I don't really recall.

Well, I used to be a decent hacker on Gaia so that's how I know these things. And, honestly, if someone isn't buying GC already, a PM from someone they don't know won't help the cause.

Well, now you know to never buy stuff from Monster.

What's a hack?

According to Gaia, hacking an account is defined by: "Hacking is defined as "the unauthorized access to another user's account". This includes accessing an account that does not belong to you, directly taking items/gold from another member's account, or knowingly profiting from items taken from a hacked account. Attempts to hack such as trying to obtain another user's password will also lead to banning."

I'm pretty sure my definition of "hacking" and "hacker(s)" would be agreed upon by several others here.
I don't think Phising accounts is hacking. I don't think taking over someones account is hacking, with a few minor exceptions.
I don't think botting is hacking. I don't think cracking is hacking.

it's exactly what I think.


However I recently got banned for "hacking into accounts" and that's what it had listed.

That's what 'compromising an account' means...
