People being hacked since the last Server Check.

I originally thought they would go in and take items and not double dip.
They seem to now be using characters they have breached that have not changed their info to set up permits/mushies along with their own characters.

Even more additional information:

One of my sisters friends who got hacked a couple months ago, the hacker tried changing the email on the account so he / they could take full control of the account. We discovered this last night when we tried using his account as a PvP mule for emblem farming. I tried logging into the account and got the message that the account was deactivated due to improper access of the account, which was triggered by them requesting 4 email changes within 24 hours.

This was fairly recent too. We used his account last Monday night (10/31) and he got locked out sometime between then and Saturday Night (11/5).
