Hacker Broke into ‘Path of Exile 2’ Admin Account, Hijacked Wave of Characters
The forums for Path of Exile 2 have been awash with people claiming they’ve been hacked and their inventories emptied of valuable items. Now there’s an explanation for at least dozens of the account compromises.
The comments also show how the hacker compromised the account shortly before the game’s launch, seemingly laying in wait for players to build up their stashes of items before pulling off their heist. In it, players command a variety of classes like Sorceror, Warrior, or Witch, and trawl through dungeons looking for ever increasingly powerful loot, much in the style of other ARPGs like Diablo. Players typically trade items for a rare consumable called a Divine Orb which can further improve their gear, making it the de facto currency of the Path of Exile 2 economy.
