Heres an issue on my end, I've never really used this account ( this only has 2 posts prior to this ) and I though this account was bound to a different email and my active account was on my main email address, I can no longer recall the email address used on my active account here at TPU but I would very much like to keep using that, is there a way this can be resolved?

Holy crap, I got my account hijacked for a couple days. Glad I had the time frame to reset it though since I gained access just today. Phew!

I had someone from China try to access my Youtube account because they have my password and also today my Origin account was hacked... I think these are the only two other passwords that were the same as TPUs was... sigh.... I hate the internet sometimes....


EAs online live chat was quick to fix the problem, Surprisingly.

Once hackers get into these technical forums under our names I fear they will begin to spread various neafrious things via the sites they compromise using our accounts. How will we know if anything we download or any site we visit, recommended by another user, is safe?

The damage that can be done to spread viruses and otherwise illegally capture information is enourmous. In fact it is DANGEROUS!

seems to be working with your gmail address. at least our mail server and google's mail server say so

Code:
B585F28F810D: to=<....@googlemail.com>, relay=gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.133.26]:25, delay=1.5, delays=0.01/0/0.49/0.99, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 OK 1354049315 ml2si464302igc.54)

To whom it may concern:

If anyone here uses the same username/ password on any other forums, I would highly recommend changing those passwords as well.

Easy fellas...resetting your password isn't for the pearly gate. It's for the awesome gate of TPU, no scripture needed
