Security vulnerability patched
Plato
Dear citizens,
Yesterday a security vulnerability was discovered and exploited for a short while, before our engineers could fix it. By opening articles containing -comments, some citizens got their GOLD stolen and sent to some specific accounts.
The first measure was to "lock" the accounts receiving the GOLD, in order to prevent its spread across the world. Then, in a matter of hours we fixed the vulnerability to prevent this from ever happening again.
Our investigation concluded that the following target-accounts receiving GOLD had nothing to do with the exploit: Emerick, borges16, UncleDed, Karolina Jesieniecka and MoredanKantose.
All other accounts involved in the exploit are permanently suspended, including some high-ranked citizens.
Thanks for your reports which helped us with this issue. Our team of engineers extracted the full list of affected accounts and reversed the transactions, so now everybody should have their GOLD back. In case you GOLD is still missing, please submit a ticket to Report a Bug department.
Regards,
The eRepublik Team

Or alternatively you could just.. dunno.. fix the security holes that were reported to you months ago? Might help in avoiding these situations.
Kill the Hacker. 😃
Thank you for your prompt action.
I was very happy to see my Gold balance restored this morning.
Great way to start the day!

To the peanut gallery - Patience! Do you want it fixed or do you want lip service? sheesh...

it's a pretty dumb vulnerability, tbh.
You should be able to prevent all this
actually there were some similar cases some month ago, I can remember some at least.
Hope you can fix this soon.
i think, i missing 68368123861237846123764 GOlds XD
good one
YAY!
Thanks for the fast and fair action.
You guys rock.
@admin... we want Enze back to eFrance
Stone the hackers
Who all got banned ??
Thanks, Capitan!
Well done for fixing it quickly and returning gold.
Wall of shame would be good though. You just know some of these characters will be back - probably with one of their illegal multi-accounts. Wall of shame may encourage people to identify any multi-accounts of these citizens.
