Dealing with with game hackers

Zynga has taken some massive actions this week to protect our users from in game hackers.

if you feel you have been wrongly banned from our games go to our customer support and they will verify your account status.

We have massively scaled our customer support to well over 100 full time reps to help deal with this.

You can also post to this blog and I will do my best to respond.

I'm sorry for any trouble anyone has had. We strive to offer a fun, safe environment for you to play with your friends and (nice) other people:)

Mark,

Hey, I play Mafia Wars...and I really like the game...do wish you guys would allow class changes as they are grossly imbalanced.

Also, wanted to say I was sorry to hear about your dog passing in Jan....kinda' sucks and I really do extend my sympathies. I've got two dogs and they're wonderful companions who always give affection unconditionally.
