How can you steal from the national bank?

That's an insane amount of gold. I hope it gets found/returned. It's really sad to think that there are people out there pathetic enough to cheat - it's not like there is any real value to the gold/currency outside of the game. And even trying to sell on a black market - you would have to sell it in such small chunks to avoid being cornered that it wouldn't be worth it.

Who does that kind of thing O.o? Hope you get it back!

theres a word for people who steal like this...

scum.

Assume it's probably been done, but can't we ask admins to track who kicked it??

Or search for org or person who suddenly has 1200 gold??

I don't care where you put them, just give them back!

yeah this is a pretty low act.

scotty is there any update on from admins on if or how they can track it down?

If there wasn't frequent password changes for the nba, it will be hard to narrow down.

I also think setting up somewhere for private citizens to donate would be a good idea, but only after the theft has been investigated.

ugh that is just low man I hope we get our gold back

Not only did the theif steal form Australia the dam fool stole form all of us.

We worked so hard to get this far i hope you give the gold back or i will be praying that you would get baned

I agree with petergladwell ... lets eInvestigate the crime, and if nothing shows up, then we'll have to create a new org for public donations. (im willing to give up my collections to help us out 😛)

oh damn. You noticed it was gone, huh?

Um - i would give it back, but i have already sold it to help TaiwanPanda steal a company that had been hacked!

@ Jaybay - please, no! I repent! I repent! Please dont bane me!

I hate thieves.

Just how many people have the password to the National Australia bank? Surely the thief could only be amongst a small group of individuals and can be found.

You would hope so Binda

Hope we find it.... 🙁

How do you steal from the National Bank of Australia?

I'm proud to see how many of our eCitizens are stepping up to donate and help. I'll add my name to that list. I don't have much but I'll do what I can. It sux that someone would do this to us 🙁

eAustralia, I have and will be working on this issue. Our current accounts are very low on funds and there may be unwanted decisions which may be made to stay afloat. Also, the September Budget will be out in a few days and I will do my best to give eAustralia a big surplus in funds this term.

The National Bank of Australia will and always accept donations from any citizen who believe in helping to build up eAustralia.

Thank You.

Unfortunate as it is this thing keeps on happening and I for one am personally sick of it. It cant be too hard to work out. Who's got the password, who accesed it?? At what time did it go? There need to be better measures in place for this thing happening, but i dont think it will ever change, and as this is the 5th time something like this has happened is less than the same amount of months, it leaves a sour distaste in my mouth and really dont feel like playing this game very much anymore. Im sure the ones who have noticed that my presence isnt such as it was a while ago its because of theives who have no regard for the game and the people who can do something about it seem to be either not interested or actually are the ones doing it. Why should we bother playing a game when it just keeps getting ripped off?? next its our account from somewhere? not on my watch, so i dont look anymore, people are just blase about the whole thing. there are theives and this game is full of them. If their aim is to crash the game out of existence then they are well on the way to doing it. They are just like a disease, after this game , they'll go rip someother game off.

impeach the president!!!!!

Crooks whinging about other crooks.

RonnyJnrJnr - you sound like me 🙂

Hummm maybe the goverment should hide it funds in there company ?

"A Day's pay for a Day's work".. such used to be the creed..
I've just come from the front; from fighting for my country, for its values.. just a humble soldier trying to stand for what's right; then i went working -earned "a day's pay for a day's work", then off training so i may give my country a better soldier for the next fight..
And so have many eAustralians done..

Now, how can someone -most possibly someone in a position of administrative power, get away with stealing the country's gold, and not be tracked down and punished?

It's not fair, it's not right, and it doesn't make a people feel secure just what exactly are they fighting for, does it? Now both Defense and Health departments will be affected because of one little white glove thief..

I do not know how this could have happened, but by all means, these corrupted elements should be identified and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

The Government should take responsibility.

Bloody Hell! Low act that.

I hope the admins can track down that low-life scum and banned them... plus return the Gold.

I just got a nice new shiny 5 gold, though I think its better in the Aussie bank then in my pocket, I'll be willing to donate any time. But seriously, their should be a way to get our gold back!

Gahy

at least we didnt loose 16,000 gold

whatta cock-head!

Change the password or change the government. Either an ex-government official knows the password and is stealing or the current government is.

Maybe we can organise for every eAus to donate 1-2 gold as soon as the leak is found to try andmake up some of the loss? We could call it the eST (hahahaha) god I'm funny...

Been thinking about this - certain organisations are experts on password cracking they have machines sitting all day password guessing. Is there like a multiple entry password blocker on the account? You know where you have to type in the words above that you can not read half the time -

I think we should spend as much time thinking about hacking security as we do thinking about securing the country from a real war. Internet attacks are now a RL part of warfare and we should be prepared for that here. It is a pity we have to learn the hard way but hopefully we can get a response on internal security arrangements from the Government as a result of this. We could run away and say it is all unfair our use this event to strengthen our resolve.

@Savon.....


...

A new organisation should have been set up, you never keep all you money in one org... especially an extreamly old one...

Shouldn't our gold be insured by the government?? lol

what a balls up. i'd like to hear how the gummint is going to ensure this doesn't happen again, perhaps following some suggestions put forward. when i hear that appropriate security is in place, then i'll consider donating my hard earned moola.

losing that amount od resource could be catastrophic if a disaster occurred, like an invasion.

There should have been 4 people with access.

Now that list is generally trustworthy but that is where I would turn first.

shame on the burglar 😒

Trustworthy? Multiple convictions for cheating is trustworthy?

First, anyone can hack a site. Finding out who has the password doesn't narrow it down. Someone who's willing to steal is willing to hack. It could be anyone with a beginners knowledge of internet programming, or somebody that downloaded or purchased one of thousands of password decoder programs. The bottom line is, it could be anyone. What we need to do is look at who has had a gigantic leap in gold recently. Though, they probably partitioned it out, sending some to their company, some to their newspaper, some to their organization, some to their personal account. Then they probably transferred it into various currencies. It could be impossible to track the thief down.
