I didn't catch that before; thanks for this post.
That is scary as hell.

Oy! Hope they do something with this, pronto. Heck, I wouldn't mind if they shut things down until it gets fixed. There are just too many bad possibilities if this is true, and simple as it sounds.
edit: Tested this out, and so far no other accounts showing up. Just my own, thankfully. What browsers were used in testing this?
I've been trying this all day but so far only got my own account or some guy name Stryker. He didn't have anything interesting so I just moved on.

From what I've read, it's random. It could happen after a few tries, or it could occur after several thousand tries. It wouldn't be difficult for someone to write up a script to constantly refresh a web site until it loads up a different account, if they're so inclined.

Hm. I've tried a good many times, and was pleased to see that my account is stubbornly secure as of yet. Can anyone confirm the wrong account problem? (I was using chrome/IE 7)
I've had this happend a lot on the Aion website. not so much as the ncsoft master account but the Aiononline.com website.
I didn't understand at the time why i'd get the name and item of someone else and thought it was just a hickup of the database not linking correctly.
At least from that website one can't control the account.

There was a period when these new boards went up where you'd be logged into some random name, until you logged out and back in again, but I've never seen that issue with the game itself, or the NCSoft page.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

I've gotten a few emails that went straight to my junk folder from "NCSoft Support". Except the grammar/spelling was always a little off and while the link looked kosher in the email, mousing over it would reveal it would actually take me to sacuar-ncsoft or something.
Nice try, Zarflax!

I know this has been brought up in other parts of the City of Heroes forums, but I also know a lot of people don't pay attention to those other parts, so I thought I'd bring it up here.
A very serious bug has been discovered with NCSoft's web site that allows anyone to randomly access someone else's account.
Specifically, some players seem to be finding that it doesn't take any skill to wind up hacking someone's account accidentally. And all it takes is a few log-in attempts to find yourself with access to someone's account name, password, and billing information for all of a player's NCsoft games.
Aion fans first began reporting that they were finding themselves getting accidentally logged in to the master accounts of other players. It didn't take long to put two and two together -- after all, an unscrupulous player or two could easily exploit this to drain Guild Wars accounts dry without ever being detectable. Poster Erys Vasburg on the Guild Wars Guru forum wrote a lengthy post detailing many of the pieces of evidence suggesting that the source of the much-feared hacks have been just that, despite repeated statements from Support Liason Gaile Gray to the contrary.
lol, NCSoft security.
