Security Notification from NCsoft?

I just got an email from NCsoft saying my account had been accessed from japan or something. I attached a screenshot of this. Does this mean they stopped it or my account was actually accessed? What do I do?

What I noticed right away is that this came from NCSOFT and not from the Guild Wars 2 Team, or from ArenaNet. Could this pertain to a different game, such a Wildstar?

Hi there, KeybladeMaster. I think we’ve come up with the answer: This is coming to you because you have an NCSOFT game and someone is attempting to access it. If that’s not you — and it sounds not to be you — I’d consider reviewing all my passwords and making sure each is complex and unique to that use, no sharing, no cross-game migration.

As pointed out above, this doesn’t seem phish-y (to me, either) because of the nature of the link. So you can dismiss the authorization as a worry, I feel, but I do think making sure you’re secure across all accounts would be a wise step to take.
