Look

I wasn't even on GMG site during the last few days. But that means the person would guess my username AND my pass? If GMG asked for the code it means they did log in with valid login/pass, right? Seems highly improbable if you ask me. It goes without saying I never keep my logins nor passwords on my PC. So it's like almost impossible. Anyone got a similar e-mail? I wonder if this really happened or if this was some glitch/error.

Yeah, it happened around an hour ago!

I changed my password of course.

But if you also got it then it means it's either some kind of error on their site or a big attack on their site. But it's impossible that they would guess both your and mine passwords.

You do type your email and passwords, don't you ? Perhaps a keylogger ?

Never happened to me before so I doubt it. Especially that I got an e-mail only from GMG and not any other sites. And on GMG I logged last time around 3 weeks ago. During all that time until today - nothing. But I log into e-mail, Steam etc. every day so they would also have pass to those and if it was a keylogger they would get them all since I type those 10-20 times a day lol. And I have a very strong PC security. So keylogger is out of the question.

Did you make sure the sender's address is a legit one of theirs?

It's helpdesk@greenmangaming.com so I think so.

You sould never pay attention to the senders address. That's easier to spoof than it is to write this post about it wikipedia.

Always pay attention to where the links in the email you got are being pointed at. Just don't click on them. Always navigate to the mentioned site yourself.

I have no idea. But it came from helpdesk@greenmangaming.com hmm. Maybe if you try entering login/pass like 10-20 times and you do it wrong then it wants you to verify it to show that it's really YOU trying to get in. Like I said, maybe it was a massive attack on the site with bots trying to brute force login/passes.

Yes, there is. You have the option to turn it on if I remember correctly.

Our country was blocked from GMG so I can't verify it right now. :(

I got an email like this this morning as well (about 4 hours ago I think it was). It was about 30 mins after someone tried to use my Gamersgate account.

Hmm were you using any proxy while logging into Gmg?

No. And last time I logged into GMG was like 3 weeks ago. But looking at the fact that others also got this e-mail I'd say this was some kind of brute force attack.

Check the e-mail headers, not the sender address to see where the message originated. Also, check the this link URL, and see where it's trying to send you.

The verification link is "email.greenmangaming.com/wf/" and after / there are TONS of numbers and letters.

But comparing it to other GMG e-mails I think it looks legit. It seems I'm not the only one this happened to so it was probably some failed brute force attack.

Looks exactly like every other GMG e-mail I've been getting including the ones with vouchers. What "looks fake" in it?

I've been around long enough to know a fake mail when I see one. This one doesn't look fake at all.

Did you click the link? Say goodbye to your account info.
Always manually go to the site.

i had somebody trying to reset my pw at GOG some days ago and i received a GOG email about it. did nothing about it.

pic i think the mail is legit, judging from headers and links, probably somebody doing BS around...

I had someone access my Gamersgate account recently to use Blue Coin credit. Nothing with my GMG account, but I used a different password for that one.

Just change your password anyway, but don't click anything in the email. Better be safe than sorry.
