With Ripple being a centralized system what do you expect?

The creators could hack your account if they wanted.

It amazes me how many times people are willing to get scammed before they learn from other people's past mistakes.

Why will they even hack account when they can easily remove all money from account without leaving any trace of transactions. I mean if they want they can disappear your money.

Probably OP got infected by some stealer or something or they have some kind of vuln in their system.

Nothing like healthy scepticism and hard evidence

Not much information, but unless it was the Op of this thread doing the report, the owner of this account has previous complains:
http://report.rippleunion.com/for/rich5dnbBMtCG6pT8kxgeoFEDKBtoGzFu
It's possible to write to the author of the report and try to get more information about the scammer/hacker.

also, it is obviously a vanity address. how can you generate vanity addresses for a close source coin?

The server is closed source (which is why I won't touch it with a ten foot pole), but the client isn't. It's not hard to generate vanity ripple addresses, but pointless because ripple is nothing but a fad.

Could OpenCoin do a chargeback? They rule Ripple, don't they?

OpenCoin Inc do but it would be a PR disaster, they're only going to do it if they are personally affected really.

yeah i wonder that too.

so far i am looking for a way to contact them. the contact-information on the website is more about being contacted by them.

apparently the attacker is quite rich

... just wanted to point out, he has about 500 000 XRP.

It makes you wonder if he stole it all.

What do you expect with that address?

i dont expect anything. just wanted to point out, he has about 500 000 XRP.

also, it is obviously a vanity address. how can you generate vanity addresses for a close source coin?

The client isn't closed, perhaps it got a address validation algorithm inside?

Ripple is a scam for itself. Do not use it.

password was a unique 14 character upper/lowercase/numbers combination.

btw, is there some kind of blockexplorer for ripple?

That is scary. Did you use a program like roboform to create your pw or you type it in manually? Just wondering if a keylogger could have gotten you. What was your password or something similar to it so we know how difficult is was to crack.
