If anyone has an Origin/EA account you's better check it as mine has just been hacked! Received an email notifying me email address had been changed so tried to log in to see what was going on and couldn't. Origin online support is woeful as you need to log in to view help pages etc and of course I couldn't so ended up Googling a support number. Got one for the UK and of course it's closed at this time of night so got a US one & rang it on my company phone.![]()
By the tone of the of the operators voice and looking on the hundreds of Google hits it looks like Origin have a major problem with this atm, probably a leak at their end as I have no viruses etc. Anyways he very quickly sorted things out for me and sent me a password reset, once I'd got into my account and changed my password etc. looking at the new account id and name he'd made it seems those pesky Eastern Europeans are behind things. At least I dont speak Russian to the best of my knowledge!
Anywho if you have an Origin account, do yourself a favour and check it hasn't been hacked and Origin/EA sort your Fing security out and if you have been compromised OWN UP and your users can change their passwords in time!
