Halp, EA accounts leaked (?)

And with that list, were you able to log into your account and change everything back?

2-Step Authentication <3

Well this got me to turn off 2FA there. Not that losing me EA account would be much of a loss lol

sorry to hear that, hope you'll get your account back soon

I had the same thing happening to me a while ago. 3 minutes after their support closed over the weekend.
I waited and called them at monday. Got resolved on the phone, but took the support guy about 45 minutes.

nothing of great value is lost...

Bad to hear that. I hope you get your acc. back.

I have everywhere other Passworts, use 3 mailboxes and much fake mailboxes.
2 step Auth. helps too^^. Sometimes a password change each ~ 6 Mon. too (i don't make this on all sites only on a few).
Only my Masafor Name i use nearly at each site (not from interest if it is a game site, a pron site or whatever).

Each one that get 1 password from me can try to use it at any other site :DDD

So normal internet/security paranoia helps :DDD

I had years ago one from London that want take my ebay account. Bad for him that i know to this time people that are very well experienced and not so nice to black hats (white/grey and black are not very close^^). His equipment was infected and surely was it a high loose, in €, for him :D

Had my account hijacked too... hacker/hijacker wasn't too smart though, and didn't unlink my email address apparently. I went back to the "register confirmation" email, clicked the link, changed the password. I got lucky.

What kind of web-security autism is this? Why would the mail be changed without confirmation on your old mail ...
unless their other safety measures circumvent that somehow e.g.: safety question "r u iz dog or iz cat" > "iz cat".
Better check out if your mail account isn't compromised ...

Woh. I've recovered my account by myself... But i still need to wait support on monday so i'll be able to change the secret answer... :/

Thank you for the heads up.
Glad you've recovered your account ( =

Glad to hear you've managed to recover your account. Now remember to check if you have used the same login information and password combination on other sites.

I am sorry for your account, but thanks for info. I enabled 2 step verification for my acc.

Sorry for your trouble but as with Mironis you've prompted me to activate 2 step verification on my own account, so thank you :)

All my games have been free so unless they have been living under a rock for the last few years or are new to EA the jokes on them they can have my freebies lol.

I did turn on 2FA anyhow just to avoid the hassle.

Haven't logged in into my origin account in months so I went to check, apparently everything is fine, probably thanks to the 2 steps authentication or just luck.
