ok so every day since Donatello made his buisness , someone keeps hacking it, and planting viruses, sometimes twice a day, you all probably know what happens to a beginning buisness when that happens every single day, he hired a clerical player, but it didnt help at all, just today he was hacked again and another virus was put in, in fact he is in debt because of it, whoever is doing this, please stop . and if anyone can help me report this, do so , please.

It's just a part of the game I'm afraid, we all deal with it from time to time.

Hire a high intel clerical person and a high strength security - multiples if you can. It will make the security level of your business much harder to hack and easier to trace.

This was also happening to me when I first started. I think it's just mean. You can hack businesses that don't even exist on grid (I use just a, b, c, etc.) so there is no real need to do that to someone. I basically just stopped managing Alex's business until I had her level up enough in business to be able to hire more employees. I think security helps as well as clerical? (And the higher the intl/str of them, the better) But yeah... it happens and it does suck. Sorry you're being targeted.

There really isn't that much that can be done at this junction other than what was suggested. Brock's has had the same problems as well. People target the newer businesses because they have the low computer security so it's easier for them to get access to than some of the more established ones.

I believe though I am not certain, that player run businesses give more xp when hacked. And if someone knows your business is relatively easy to hack into... well you can see where I am going with that.

Confirmed. So the only reason to target a real grid business, imo? Is to be mean.
