Guild Wars 2

I just check my emails. It said I have requested a password change.
There was a link to change it. I did not select any link. At the end it says

" If you didn’t request a change, please disregard this e-mail and your password will stay the same."

Not sure if this is a real email or not. I wonder if my email is not safe.

I have not requested to change my password

Inculpatus, what should I do. Can you check for me of real email

Or not worry about it ?

Um…well, the best advice I could give is to change your password. It is either a phishing email, or someone has contact CS and asked to have the password on your account changed.

You can contact CS and explain the situation to them, and ask their advice. Top of Page – Support – Submit a Request. Good luck.

Thank you for fast reply. You do good job here

Thank you Gaile, the next day someone was able to change the email address. After reading through the forums, I find my self very embarrassed I fell for phising email awhile back. I did submit the ticket and provided the info requested. Got my account back

Thank you very much staff of gw2.

I would change your email password IMMEDIATELY.

If a hacker somehow logged into your email, they can request a password change and since it is coming from your email, Anet will do it (I have suggested this be changed, but was told the email was verification enough). The hacker can then use the link to change your GW2 account password and then delete all emails associated with the transaction. Either you interrupted the process of being hacked, or it’s a phishing email.

Change your email account password and get in touch with Anet CS to ask about any requests for a password change that appeared to come from your email.

Posting here for my work mate. ( Original Poster )His account he just got back is now suspended as someone is claiming his account. He no longer has the case number as every email he ever had has been wiped clean from his email account. He has now changed the email password. Also contacted Gmail support to track the breach. His email address tied to the account Technically should be safe now.
