So. I am looking for an Answer

I log onto valor this morning to just check luna, refresh my houses, see if any old friends are on, and I was hugely shocked.

I went to my THoG vendor house, and i no longer own it. It is the same exact location, and the same exact custom design I had. My vendors are no longer there, and the new owner of the house is "Deaths Rampage". New name for the house is "$$$G-G-G$$$".

-My houses constantly get refreshed, no chance of them going Idoc.
-Vendors are gone and their contents of godly items and millions of gold and disapeared.

I am looking for an explanation as to what exactly as occurred.

Also, I am missing specific bags out of one of my other houses. Some bags containing very nice items and things such as skill gain deeds (lot of them).

This is really not making me happy.

Okay. Looking for an answer I found a slight lead.

The owner of my vendor house is "Deaths Rampage". I looked, and sure enough he is somehow accessed to my other house I am missing items from.

I do not know the character, and have never let anyone in my houses except for me, Damien, and Eby.

Perhaps this person was a bad apple and can be taken care of by staff, and my items/house recovered...This is kind of ridiculous.

I don't have much time to deal with crap like this other then knowing that there must be yet another exploit in the housing system. There's a few flaws in the system that are very underground and redrum knows about them. One includes the ability to execute and complete a house trade without the owner's consent. This has been done a few times.

The owner of the house was already banned but I banned 2 more accounts that may of potentially been linked. (some IPs matched up).

PM me the account name that should own the house and I'll switch it back.

At some stage in the revamp I want to do a full blown security audit of the AoV/RunUO code to find and fix all these exploits.

Thanks, I appreciate it Dollpartz

.

Red has already taken action against the accounts/IPs related to the offender, and is looking into a possible housing exploit. The matter will be looked into more in the near future, and hopefully it all straightens out.

I dont know if its related but my Fel house has dissappeared. I Also refresh my houses frequently and neither or my luna houses wen't Idoc (I refresh them all at the same time. It's been about 2 weeks sicne I logged on to refresh my houses but It was my understanding that it takes 30 days for the IDOC timer to start. Now the most annoying part of this is not the stuff in it but that Dollpatz and myself had put in some serious time and effort creating the Temple of the Damned. It would be appriciated if this could be looked into as I seriously dont think that one house would idoc when the other houses are fine.

Probably. I'm really hoping I can find this house exploit. If not i will have to recode the system from scratch. This is a very underground exploit.

perhaps start by looking at the only person who logged on to the server...

Wont tell me much. There are hardly any logs for that kind of stuff. Also if it's redrum and gang, they got access to thousands of UO proxies and have a large botnet setup. The IPs come from all around the world.

I know this is a bit late in the piece but I lost my house in the south corner of luna. i posted some where else about it also. Just wasnt mine any more. Had sick talli's and demitel arties i looted from an idoc outside of Umbra. Wasnt happy and you never got back to me about it. It happened the same time as everyone else losing their shit. cant remember where my last post was. the house was cleaned out and demolished and some other dudes took the plot later on.
Would have been a nice steal UOML's minors AOA's like 8 demitel arties. Slayer talli's leather all sorts of shit. No way it went IDOC man.
