EVE is famously anything-goes, with corporations (EVE equivalent of guilds) being very careful about who they accept specifically to prevent this type of attack. I would be very surprised if there were any moderator intervention about it, as joining up with corps in order to drain their bank accounts is expected behavior.
As another example of EVE conventions, in 2012 the biggest trading hub was attacked [0]. This is nominally a safe area, and indeed the NPC security responded to every attack. This was part of the cost-benefit analysis of the attackers, who were aiming to drive up the price of resources that they had hoarded. When other players complained to the developers, the developers found it hilarious, and helped advertise about the attack.

Really? The general run of comments seems to indicate that the attack could only succeed because nobody in the targeted corporation noticed a popup warning them about the attack for 72 straight hours.
That strongly suggests that very few corporations should have any guards at all in place to prevent this type of attack, because there's no way for the attack to succeed unless everyone in the targeted corporation has stopped playing the game.
