Recently a guildie/friend was hacked sharing all the same symptoms as those mentioned in this thread. He was level 200 and considered one of the top in his class equips wise. However, a few guild members had the luck to witness the hacking take place as well as the hacker selling his equips. I got to spend some face time with the hacker, spent about 4 hours communicating with him while I consolidating large amounts of mesos in order to buy the hacked gear back. This guy knew the value of what he was selling, very well, he continually referenced the values while I made low ball offers for each item. He referenced me to a well known gold site multiple times in case I needed more mesos to buy the gear, and became very upset (all caps rage) when I told him I usually bought from another company. Once he realized my intent to buy multiple items he quickly took them out of his shop and spent plenty of time bartering with me and ignoring other customers. It became very clear that he was in much of a hurry, and when I had the chance to ask him questions he informed me that he had looted several accounts that day, with my friend being the last for the day. I ended up getting a good 60-70b worth of gear for under 20b (which I sold back to the original owner for what I paid, before you all go off on me). When I asked the hacker if he worked for that website he replied yes, and that if I would like more hacked equipment for USD to contact the site. Which makes me believe he would be an actual employee at the company and not simply someone that sells to them, otherwise he would have just offered to sell to me himself. He had very bad english, similar to what I experience often when dealing with mesos selling sites.
tl;dr hacker was obviously connected to a mesos selling site in some way
seems I can't tell the specific site here, sorry!
