So I generally play in California. Always have, probably always will. I got an email telling my someone in China tried logging into my account and it needed me to deny or allow this to happen. As I click “deny”, I was denied the ability to deny.
Anyone else have someone logging into their account or trying to from Hefei?
That means that somebody has your login account info. Change your game password immediately, and change the password on your e-mail account too to be on the safe side.
The hackers might have obtained your login info in a number of ways, but the two most common methods are:
1. You have a keylogger on your machine. Do a virus scan of your PC.
2. You are using the same login and password on a third party site like GWGuru or a guild website, and THAT website was cracked and all the login info stolen. (It happened once to GWGuru during the GW1 days, and that was how I got hacked back in the day.) This is why it’s important to use a unique password for every single site you use.
This sums it up very well. Please follow the suggested steps to protect your account.
