This looks like the workings of a gold-selling outfit.
Somehow or other they have acquired the means to log on to many (all?) accounts. Database breech? Inside job? Bypass? IDK. Regardless, the people actually logging on the accounts are the same ones working the gold-mining 'bots, meaning they don't know anything about the game and don't care. They have their routine, quickly get all NX and pure meso and whatever tradeable equips the char is wearing (? do other things get taken?), and move down the list.
