I guess being a "good boy" on the opticraft servers, for many years, saved my name in this situation :)
Did any of you guys "talk to me" while this was going on ?
And do anyone know when it happend ?
Ive looked in all my chests, and all of em were a total mess, but the only thing that seems missing, is 2 diamond picks with a lvl 20'ish enchant on em (nothing im gona miss that bad). My diamonds, gold and iron were still alll there, and though i dont remember excactly how mutch money i had, nothing seems stolen from my balance either.. (im usually broke, since the money i got, goes to building materials)
All in all, i just dont get what the attack on my account was all about..

That is what is known as a "dictionary attack" in computer security.
It's a crude but effective method, but if your password is a long or complex one, shouldn't be a prob. As for keylogger's, programs that record every key tap, and so get data like bank info, use a save password option so you don't have to type.

Normal members get a ban for this because they are not trusted. You are lucky this time that you have friends and that you are trusted. I hope for you it doesn't happen again!

I think some people are talking about you or that they are saying things on you on 04-29 or 04-28. I'm not sure about this, but I hope this will help a bit.
