According to the Seattle Times, last October someone hacked into at least one EQ server, as well as Brad McQuaid's home computer, and obtained a superuser account and other account information. The article states that "'Access to these accounts gives the superuser an individual's name, date of birth, work and home telephone numbers, Internet protocol address and other information,' including home addresses, according to an affidavit filed with the warrant. Moreover, superuser status also 'enables the user to have complete administrative controls over the game, including the suspension, banning and unbanning of accounts.'" Furthermore, it states "In McQuaid's computer, the hacker copied a voluminous file containing the blueprint for the release of the game's next version, 'EverQuest2,' scheduled for release next year. Other personal and proprietary information was also accessed." Interesting news, considering that the existance of any Everquest 2 has never been officially confirmed by Sony. The only official statement I have seen from Sony is in the Developer's Corner where John Smedley posted this: "We have seen the article in the Seattle Times regarding an incident almost a year ago in which someone apparently got a hold of one or more superuser accounts for a short period of time. We want to assure our customers that at no time was any consumer billing information compromised. No one should be worried that their credit card information got out… IT DID NOT. In addition, some time ago we added additional layers of security in an effort to prevent this from happening again. Beyond this, it is inappropriate for us to comment in light of the ongoing investigation." I am not a computer expert, so I can't even begin to speculate on this. There are far more qualified people than me to do that, so I'll let it to you to debate the consequences, or whether you should at least change your password.
