A hacker compromised an administrative account on the website for popular game Path of Exile 2, which allowed them to reset the passwords on dozens of players accounts, according to comments from developer Grinding Gear Games (GGG) made during a podcast on Sunday. This access would have given the hacker the ability to steal powerful and rare items from those players, with some players spending hundreds of hours grinding for valuable in-game currency.The news comes after a wave of Path of Exile 2 players complained on the games forums and social media about being hacked and their inventories emptied. The comments also show how the hacker compromised the account shortly before the games launch, seemingly laying in wait for players to build up their stashes of items before pulling off their heist.We totally fucked up here, Path of Exile 2 game director Jonathan Rogers said during a podcast recording with action roleplaying game (ARPG) content creators GhazzyTV and Darth Microtransaction.
