EA and Bioware servers attacked

[Rabish Bini]

Hang on.

Has the ability to play FIFA online been affected? If so I will be so frickin' pissed

 

[Catchy Slogan]

I don't appear to be getting an e-mail

I don't appear to be getting an e-mail

check your spam. that is where I found mine.

 

[Frenger]

Wasn't this annouced a week ago? And now I get the e-mail? I already changed my password a couple of days ago.

I'm confused.

I did. It wasn't there.

Yeah that happened to me too. I was suspicious so I didn't use the email to change it again just in case. I went through EA's site instead.

Come on hackers! Attack the Australian Government Filter already! That is actually a problem!

I can't seem to be able to access my EA profile, although it could be I just forgot the password due to having four or five or six floating around since the last time they got into my WoW account. Waiting for the e-mail to change my password.

Ah well, that'll teach me about buying DLC from Bioware / EA's store. Hope I can get to it in time.

Well since it looks like the OP was being overly dramatic I'd say you're fine. It says it was the Neverwinter Nights info. The ten-ish years old Neverwinter Nights info.

Good to know everyone has their guard up.

Good show, Bioware!

 

[ZeZZZZevy]

well now I have motivation to actually fix my account information.

pretty sure the email I have associated with EA is the one that has been dead for quite some time now, so even if the data was stolen it would have zero impact on me.

lol i hope the basterds got mine i use hotmail for EA and lets face it no one comes out of a hotmail account without a virus

mine was a yahoo account that got infected with a virus that sent an email to everyone in my contact list an add for...genetic enhancers >.>

needless to say I deleted my account right quick

Let me guess the perps?

2011 - Year of the server attacks

Was I the only one who just assumed this was yet another scam email and deleted it?

I mean, read this sentence: "In an abundance of caution, we have changed your password to ensure account security."

In an Abundance of caution?

Seriously?

Yeah it does sound a little iffy. Either way I changed mine just to be safe. I'd like to add I never got this email and I'm a member so yeah, could be a scam. If anything I'd go to the main website and change the info just to be safe like I did, just don't click the link in the email.
