I am not convinced, yet. Remember that a user’s account data is stored serverside (aka. in “the cloud”) thus any actual account hacking must _by definition_ target the servers.

The sole suspicious data point here is the troop count over max, however there _could_ be a legitimate explanation. For comparison:

- I myself am listed at “1,004 / 1,127” troops – i.e.123 Unowned troops.
- When I set my Troop filter to “Unowned” I actually count 124 troops shown.
- aka. I have one troop card not otherwise counted in that list.

But was this indicative of any “hacking”? No, and I can even tell you which troop that extra one probably is: Burning Ocularen.

Because during its [Faction Expansion weekend](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/faction-expansion-all-seeing-eye/75527/124), I purchased exactly one copy of this Troop from the Event Shop, and the Troop wasn’t listed under the “Unowned” troop filter at that time (I checked); by similar logic the Troop probably isn’t acknowledged in the global Troop count. Which would be a bug, but a minor one (Burning Ocularen probably isn’t available in faction Chaos Portals for some time yet, but I don’t have enough Chaos Shards to test).

The remaining stats do not look unusual for a Guild of 30 highly active members (the Guildmaster themselves is a top-50 player in weekly event leaderboards, and their Underworld stats attest to a LOT of playtime).
