I recently found my Email inbox spammed with messages for password resets on my WoW and Eve accounts ...
But they were dead accounts and not played anymore. I toughened my GW password like crazy, and my Turbine account is still fine as it uses a different username. |

I just checked the email again, and yes, the link was an alteration of worldofwarcraft.com.
So they didnt really have my password reset, they just saw my name on the official forums from ages ago and somehow got my Email address? Eve account username was same as my forum name as well, with a password reset requested, but it doesnt work because I need to verify the reset by clicking the link. With GW there is no safety check by email, if someone gets your password, they can change it without any safety check required. P.S, the eve account was only a 14 day trial, so I dont care about it getting nicked. Last edited by bhavv; Dec 22, 2009 at 02:47 PM // 14:47.. |

I hope it was the people who didn't buy my GW gold when they promised to!
