Re: Attention, hacking trial?
We've seen a few guild bank thefts on our server. Supposed alt gets invited in without vetting, gains access to the bank, clears it out.

First line of defense - nobody gets invited as an alt unless they log in their main and you agree on a secret word. The main also has to tell you the name of the alt. (And the secret word is an optional aspect and mostly for amusement.)

Confirming through Vent/Phone also works.

I've been using the "login your main, tell me your alt's name" for years. It stops a lot of the problems. Unfortunately, not all officers are security conscious and are easily fooled by social engineering.
