email account hacked. please help

Also may I suggest you change email accounts to one of the following.....

Gmail
Outlook

The reason is they both use "Step two verification". This style of verification means even if a hacker gets your password they cannot log in to your account. You see every time someone try's to log in that hasn't been verified you will get a text or a phone call giving you a final code to log in. Its very easy and simple to setup also. The great thing is once you setup your Email application with a specific "application password" from that account you never have to log in again AND your account is protected from being logged in from foreign entities.

I like the new outlook personally however Gmail is also damn good. Gmail also has an IP tracker that allows you to see WHERE the account has been logged in from. Anyway let us know if you wanna change over and have any questions. We will be happy to help and welcome to TPU!

 

WoW account hacked, but haven't logged on in weeks

(I realize this isn't the WoW forums, but I was hoping since this is a tech site my question could be answered =D)
My WoW account was hacked yesterday, but what is odd is that I haven't logged on in weeks (only logged on on wow website to cancel sub), and the last time I played was over a month ago. Furthermore, the comp I played WoW on I parted, and I am using a laptop as of now. Now, I have avira antivir personal and malwarebytes installed on my laptop. I ran both of those and they found nothing, and none of my other accounts (banking, email, Aion, etc) have been compromised, it appears.

My question is how *Confused . Did they get the info awhile ago and just wait? Or is it something else? I'm kinda freaked out tbh, as I'm worried about my other pws and such *Cry :cry:.

 

77000 Steam accounts hacked every month

Ironically I've had the same crappy password since I made my Steam when HL2 came out and never been hacked, but I've had my Origin account jacked twice with a much more complicated password. 2 step on Origin fixed this problem, but just thought it was kind of funny. I went with 2 step on Steam to be safe too.
