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?

Maybe you typed too many question marks.

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!

Hey, just wondering if anyone could tell me why I'm still not receiving email notifications since this hack? My email and settings are still the same.

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

Code:

t77snapshot · Nov 27, 2012, 07:52 PM

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

maybe the hacker came to my house, held my hamster hostage and forced me to give him the admin password?
