Guild Wars 2

So I noticed today when I checked my e-mails that I’ve recieved two attempts from unknown IPs to access my account— one from China and one from Japan.

I’ve always been very careful with my accounts— after ten years of MMO gaming I’ve never once had an account hacked.

So how is it that these hackers are all of a sudden attempting to access my account?
Does the authentication send an e-mail when a failed attempt is made to access my account from a different IP? (i.e. with a wrong password)
If so, how do these people have my e-mail?
If not, how did they get my email and password?
Is there some sort of security leak going on?

I am certain this issue is not on my end, but I am running scans on my computer. at the moment. Fortunately I haven’t been hacked—yet, but I don’t feel very confident in Anet’s ability to keep my personal details safe right now.
Going to change my password after my scans finish; I don’t want these locusts to get a hold of my account.

So what is going on here, Anet?

Have you not been reading everything Anet posted on FB, Tweets, login page, on their Wiki page, etc? Hackers got a hold of information mined from outside sources, and are testing them against Guild Wars 2 accounts. They mention a boat load of attempted logins with e-mails that aren’t registered.

BUT, you are getting e-mails from Anet because the hackers found an e-mail/password combo that worked… and it happens to be yours. That means they know the password to your account. Change the passwords for not only your account, but your e-mail as well.
