Just getting this all down, so that everyone knows what happened to me, because I'm really ticked off right now. stressed
Today, Dec. 22, at about 6:30pm PST, I tried to log into my main account -- windandwater -- but was told it was not a valid username. I logged into this account, one of my mules, and checked my shop Asher's Beastiary in the Mini Shops forum. I found out that someone had HACKED my windandwater account and changed the name to 'waterandwind'.
From my avatar, I can already tell that someone has stolen my Bunny Slippers, Portable Headphones, and Angelic Mini Wings, because my avatar had been wearing them before this, and now they're gone (and my avatar is barefoot). I can only assume someone targeted me BECAUSE I was wearing such valuable items.
I have no access to my previous account AT ALL.
I last logged-in to my main account about two days ago, to try and do the Christmas event. However, I kept being logged-out so I gave up on trying the event until a later date (today).
I have been on Gaia since July 2003. I am also a well-known collector, and have MC Letters and items from that date forward. I've already reported the hacking, but I really hope I get all my items back, since they're very special to me. The Bunny Slippers, especially, were a gift from a friend of mine, as were the Ports.

I will be keeping track of any updates or new information on my situation here as well.
From page 5:
This is helpful because I had many very rare items in my hacked account. Seeing Bunny Slippers in the Marketplace seems very suspicious, especially on the same day that I reported the hacking. Now I can't help but wonder if my Ports will end up there, too, or if they already have.

Last night there was a pair of bunny slippers in the marketplace for sale for 55,000,000 gold. It was a one day sale because I remember there was about 13 hours left on the sale. This was about 11:30 last night central time. The seller's name was either a_smart_girl or very_smart_girl and the profile was hidden. Neither name shows up when you do a username search though.
It is a bit strange that there happened to be one pair of bunny slippers on sale on the same day you were hacked, especially since they rarely become available on marketplace. The listing isn't there now so I don't know if the sale expired or if someone shelled out the gold. I would imagine that the admins would be able to trace the seller, especially since neither name shows up on a username search now.
It's also too bad you can't look up marketplace listings by seller.
