Sophos: Japanese couple arrested for robbing Lineage virtual characters
“… the two are said to have advertised a website that offered Lineage players free tools to boost their online characters’ combat characteristics.
However, in reality, the tool is alleged to have stolen players’ credentials and sent the information back to Nishimura’s PC.
…they were then able to illegally access the Lineage II game through other people’s user ids, and sell virtual belongings (such as swords and shields) for real money to other players.”
