This isn't some NSA level conspiracy. The way the servers work, is that they have 2 types of information. Information the server sends out, and information the server does not send out. Information the server does send out, includes anything visual and that affects the game, sex xp, money, looks, surroundings etc (this includes designs that are uploaded). All stuff that is NOT considered private, hence there is no encryption in this game either. Because all the information these people can access, is mostly stuff they can see easily anyways. And then you have the information that the server doesn't share at all. Email adress and such, which is considered private, but is not accessible because the server doesn't send this information anywhere.
So if you upload a design to an apartment/house/yacht, it is possible for these people access it without too much trouble.
I never said that someone hacked the servers, I just said that someone was using third-party software to access the designs and steal them. As far I know, the game itself doesn't allow you do that.
I want to think that we all know that this is wrong and that it goes against the ToS, so it's not a minor problem.
What I wanted to know is if someone is going to do something against this. From what I have seen, seems that the problem is known but nobody cares about it. It's like: "Yeah we are aware of that problem, but shit happens".
