Dean Ween accounts compromised by social engineering... me.

Post by Bjørn »

5 days ago somebody convinced me he was Dean Ween: http://tmw.pastebin.com/d5bb41ff8
However, today the real Dean Ween came along, and was missing many items on multiple accounts. :-/

Trunks, Goten and Idlanar have been blocked until further notice because an IP check on Dean Ween showed his accounts to have logged on from the same IP: http://pastie.org/private/56wlelbperwkhvdjhaquq

I'm glad I was suspicious enough to not give out the info.

Suggestion: If you're concerned about someone jacking your account by tricking the admins, Use of the public command: "@email a@a.com your.email@address.com" can set an email address associated with an account. This email address can then be cross-referenced by the admins to help mitigate such social engineering attacks.

For future references, if myself or an imposter asks for a password reset on my account, please send the details to my email account. Thank you.

To change the email, you need to provide the current email. The default is a@a.com. Note that for the moment, changing the email will mean you can't delete characters from the account.

Tzetzetze... don't the eA devs know that you use the reserved top level domain name .invalid instead of .com when you need a placeholder address for some reason?
  • former Manasource Programmer
  • former TMW Pixel artist
  • NOT a game master

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.


You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Addresses like a@a.com are specifically reserved by the RFCs for examples and such.

I have no idea why my name is included in that list. I have done nothing wrong and would like some assistance in getting this mess solved. All the blame should fall on Trunks, even Idlanar has done nothing wrong.

Goten and Trunks are played by the same user, known on the forums as Goku. This leads me to believe that he is lying about Idlanar as well.

You're showing zero progress into becoming even remotely trustworthy.
