Title: EA hacked???
Post by: Gutty on December 30, 2015, 09:56:21 pm

Just wondering if any of you lot have had the classic message of, "your account has logged in elsewhere, please sign in again to play on this PC" (or something along those lines)....

Well, I had this tonight. Every time I went to login, the other user kept re-logging in. This happened 3 times. so I done the lost password recovery scenario, changed the password, as quick as I could before the user changed my email address.
I log in to find my user ID has been changed and I cannot do shit with it because hes added a security check (elementary school).
I check out EA's website and see this:

We’re sorry. EA Help support may not be working the way it should. We are working quickly to resolve the issue and restore normal support status.

mother fuckers man.
so is this related to a hacked scenario, I have never used origin anywhere else. I also have a pretty awkward password, not used anywhere else, so I'm pretty stumped as to how this guy got in.

Ugh - fucking EA.

I know I get email alerts on both my Hotmail and Gmail saying someone has attempted to log in from either Germany or Russia regularly.

suppose I should change my password again...
I got hacked a few years ago by a russian guy, I think I even made a thread about it.

Don't be silly.
That would mean caring about bad publicity!

If they hack my account all they get is BF3. And I'll be like "LOL, BL2U, CUNT".

Still true.

Title: Steam Hacked
Post by: Tiwaking! on December 31, 2015, 09:15:08 pm

Interesting. I just checked my old email and found that some complete moron had attempted to hack my Steam Account on December 3rd.
"The login attempt included your correct account name and password."

They have obviously never tried getting into an inactive account before.

What annoys me is that EA don't accept non-alphanumerical characters (i.e  / )

But my usual password has one, so I usually end up needing 3 or 4 goes before I remember not to type the /


I have had no signs of hacking.
