Thanks everyone for your enthusiasm in this study and great amount of responses. Has been exciting to read some of the responses so far

Close to finishing up the survey, just would love 100 more participants to get a nice even 1000. If you have any experience in virtual worlds / virtual goods / virtual property theft, would love you to participate in this study! Thanks in advance

If anything, they should be prosecuted for hacking your personal account, not so much the stealing of your virtual items.

Isn't stealing a login ID and password a form of identity theft? I mean, I have no knowledge of the law here, but I can see how it would be.

Hacking and taking the items isn't.

Scamming, extortion or robbing your corps wallet (such as someone ran away with 800 billion isk, roughly 30000USD in PLEXes) is allowed though.

If you're dumb enough to fall for a scam, you deserve to have your shit stolen.

In that scenario, you should just be glad that it didn't happen to you in real life. You got some real world experience from the comfort of your computer chair.
