EA Origin account hacked!

[IV Play]

Looks like a Russian bro was able to get into my account and change all my settings, name, password etc. Called EA and was able to get everything restored. Luckily I don't save my credit card info on my game accounts. I wasnt using their login verification option just the username and password. You may want to turn on this option if you're not using it currently. It's under your your account settings in origin under the tab security.

I've had to recover my Battle.net account not long ago, I never like calling customer support but they were good

Thanks Havok!

And ya Simon the process was quite painless. I was surprised how good they were.

That Russian dude doesn't sound like a bro at all. You gotta keep your stuff secure on the internet. I always use "password123" as my password because no one would ever guess it. Feel free to use that too.

Haha thanks for the protip stormy. I was just using "password". That "123" addition should do the trick!

Glad it all worked out well , I seriously need to get some changes to some of my passwords too xD
