Title: PSA EA HAS BEEN HACKED
Post by: G The Resurrected on October 16, 2011, 02:25:42 AM: CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS FOLKS

Seems they are calling ea and getting our Xbox Live info.

Can't log into live and they've spent my M$ points and got stupid fucking achievements.

From reading everything it seems to be linked to Fifa and EA.

I'll never get those Fifa 2011 achievements off my account. Hell they even tried to play The Darkness too.

Bought 6000 m$ points too with a card I linked to games for windows live that I never used on XBL.

Post by: cool breeze on October 16, 2011, 02:54:22 AM: so wait, EA's hacked data included their usernames + passwords + associated 360 accounts? (or something) and the people used those EA passwords on the 360 accounts? (or something)

I just glanced at the gaf thread and am a bit confused. Is this because you played Fifa or the hackers just all like Fifa?

It's more likely-

- The "hackers" phished his info from a leaked database from some source, and his info was part of it (this is why i rarely register for shit, and even then use different information)

- The "hackers" for some god awful reason decided to randomly choose his name and social hack it

- Bz has a pathetic password

This is most likely UK based because nobody gives two shits for FIFA here.

Post by: G The Resurrected on October 16, 2011, 03:05:33 AM: Different passwords for everyplace I go to. So thats not it. How I was alerted to this was an Email from EA telling me my password had changed.

Post by: demi on October 16, 2011, 03:17:01 AM: Bz, they got your name from somewhere. I hardly doubt you were the unlucky winner of the lottery.

Surely I should be hit as well if it's from EA? I've played my fair share of EA games.

When you play an EA game for the first time, a EULA usually pops up and automatically signs you up using your info. Even for games like Dead Space.

Try logging in with your info you use for your current Gamertag...

Post by: G The Resurrected on October 16, 2011, 03:50:46 AM: Guess I'll have to wait till morning to resolve this issue. I demand answer and more importantly how the information was received without knowing any of the other account questions.

Gotta wait till tuesday for a new bank card!

Associated accounts I had

GFWL
XBL
EA
EA FORUM
ORIGIN

as well as a linked PSN account.

It was rumored that EA was the source of the PSN outage. Maybe there is something to that story.

Title: Re: PSA EA HAS BEEN HACKED
Post by: G The Resurrected on October 16, 2011, 05:57:47 AM: I'm biding my time waiting for 5am to contact EA directly. Seeing as my passwords are different for forums and places I do business this is a shocker to me. I run a clean ship, and just recently changed my EA account password which is routine.

Post by: Sho Nuff on October 16, 2011, 12:23:14 PM: EA!? They should have had the best protection around. The overall security in the game industry is pretty fucking appalling
Title: Re: PSA EA HAS BEEN HACKED
Post by: G The Resurrected on October 16, 2011, 02:00:21 PM: So after almost 5 hours between EA and Microsoft. I know nothing more than the region in which my gamertag was recovered to. It seem's both EA and Microsoft blame each other at the situation. No live for me during the bustiest time of the fucking year. EA is the only place in which I have given my Xbox live information to so that I could "marry" my gamertag to my EA account. My password was rather secure and random including numbers, capitalization, characters with accents, and special characters.
Title: Re: PSA EA HAS BEEN HACKED
Post by: Himu on October 16, 2011, 02:02:38 PM: How is this a problem unless you make ever password the same for each account?
Title: Re: PSA EA HAS BEEN HACKED
Post by: Stoney Mason on October 16, 2011, 06:23:36 PM: That sucks.

I never did much care for how EA was able to dig their way into Xbox Live.
Title: Re: PSA EA HAS BEEN HACKED
Post by: MyNameIsMethodis on October 16, 2011, 10:41:46 PM: Don't blame EA, blame Microsoft for being shit at security and allowing pirates to just freely use your card without having to enter in any other information. When you try to contact Microsoft to fix it they just fap their wings and pretend nothing happens. They are literally worse than Sony.

and incase any of you fegs say im trolling
