Status[edit]
All character transfers must be manually approved by GMs.
Summary[edit]
Right now, anyone who can hijack an e-mail account attached to an EVE account can reset the EVE account password and clear out the EVE account immediately(via character sales or destruction of items, etc).
Solution[edit]
After certain events such as a password reset from an e-mail, or a password change, or an e-mail change, or an account login from a country different from that of the previous login- or other types of account changes that can signal a potential account hijacking- do the following:
- add a temporary lock on the account so the person playing the character is unable to transfer the character. still allow them to play, but don't let them trash the account.
- notify the user via e-mail that the lock has occured
- if there was an e-mail change, send notification to the old e-mail address as well
- if there was a password change, send notification to the current e-mail address
- I would like to also see the account locks be able to do other things such as prevent someone from completely emptying their own wallet, corp/personal hangars, reprocess or trash items, but I understand that would require a lot more coding time.
Pros[edit]
- more security
Cons[edit]
- devs will have to be careful in the actual implementation otherwise it will inconvenience legitimate users.
