Title: Warning to those that use Origin
Post by: Hoarach on November 03, 2012, 08:38:30 PM
Well tried logging into origin after suspicion I have from an email I got that saying my email has been updated.  I found that my account has been hacked and I cant login into origin in order to play BF3 online.  Call EA and they cant do anything as apparently my birthday cant be verified.  I go so they changed my birthday and the reply is only EA can do that.  So now I have to wait until Monday to speak to a specialist after the tech said there is reasonable belief that the account is mine.  Of course the account is mine I can tell you what games I have, when they were ordered, and their serial numbers.  What else do I need to give you.  They cant do anything as the "specialists" are not in on the weekends.  Bunch of horse sh**.

I also have the email of the guy that hacked it.  Should I send the guy a nasty freaking email basically saying you f*** now and that stealing my account isnt going work.  What do you yall think?


Apparently not the only one on this planet, huge security issue with EA I guess recently.

My account was hacked by some person in Ukraine.  Why they think that having origin for 4 years now that I would randomly change my email to a Ukrainian email is beyond me.  They must hire idiots.

Anyways recommend changing passwords or probably have to deal with the same thing.

Register that email for every spam list you can find, even those for people that have their bread buttered on the wrong side

lucky for me I didn't know my own login for about a year then suddenly remembered it. Been fine so far.
