City of Heroes offers a reminder on account security
January 6, 2010 – 9:53 pmPosted by: gmaxwell
NCsoft hasn’t been having an easy start to the year, at least not in the eyes of security-minded players. The entire Guild Wars security question recently came to a head with suspicions and accusations that the flaw was something wrong with NCsoft’s account management, a black eye if ever there was one. Of course, that raises questions about not just Guild Wars, but any game under the company’s aegis, which includes City of Heroes. So it should come as little surprise that a reminder about account security has recently been posted on the official site.
The reminder itself is fairly standard boilerplate, reminding everyone to avoid giving out their account information to any other players, only log in from secure locations, and so forth. It also addresses the issue at hand in a roundabout fashion, mentioning that they found no malicious workarounds after investigating “current claims.” However, the very next line mentions that they have added more robust logging and security procedures, which can lead to the obvious conspiracy theories. With fewer items to be traded than many other games, City of Heroes has a smidge more built-in security — but a little extra reminder and caution never hurts.
