In-game CD Key Stealer?

Incident:

So I was playing DayZ, and a guy comes up behind me in direct but I didnt see how he got there. He gave me a DMR, I thought it was out of good will. Then he gives me a Ghillie suit. When I equip the Ghillie suit, my ArmA 2 froze and I got a pop up from my computer from the windows help saying

"

What is Data Execution Prevention?

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats. Harmful programs can try to attack Windows by attempting to run (also known as execute) code from system memory locations reserved for Windows and other authorized programs. These types of attacks can harm your programs and files.

DEP can help protect your computer by monitoring your programs to make sure that they use system memory safely. If DEP notices a program on your computer using memory incorrectly, it closes the program and notifies you."

So I am assuming by equipping this ghillie was some form of .exe or stealer ect.

This "Hacked" ghillie also appeared in a few other peoples inventory.

I can't provide any proof of it, as I was not recording and my ArmA shut down.

But this is some serious stuff.

Also, I logged back in, No DMR or Ghillie.

I'm hoping someone can shed some light.

Thanks, Vespah.

If this is the case then surely you can't be banned :unsure: running downloaded .exe files is obvious but losing a key through interacting with other players is part of the game.

You should report this to BattlEye asap :)

Thanks, but arnt items serversided? I was thinking it could just be a script kiddy.

EDIT* Also I checked my Registry, my key hasn't changed and I havn't been banned. Ive also emailed BE. Is it ok to update this post once I get a reply from them?

You cant download an .exe through ingame.

In-game key stealers cannot exist. There is no way to take down the integrity of it while inside the game.

BUT

if somehow this was done, these needs to be traced, and studied, and prevented.

It could be just a script kiddie, sure, but if it's not...

Now I know there was no way for you to know that it was a hacker or not FOR SURE, but we all have to be really careful. Watch your CD key for a few days and GET BACK TO US.

Hello there

TBH I would not worry unduly as nothing like this has ever been reported before and to me seems unlikely a key stealer would be connected to an in game item.

I would simply make a report to BE and see what they say. I would also contact the server admins and advise them as to what you think happened. I think it's something else tbh.

When you equip a Ghillie, it doesn't run any sort of .exe. The only .exe ran is ArmA.

Is it possible? Yes.

Is it likely? No.

See what BattlEye says even though they probably don't have a clue themselves seeing how incompetent they are.

More competent than you will ever be.

Ouch.

I don't recognize your name instantly so I can't recall what it is I may have done to piss you off. Care to enlighten me?
