I got an e-mail friday saying my e-mail address had been changed. I did not change my e-mail address. I immediately reset my password and my e-mail’s password. I have been hacked once before.

Is there anything I can do to prevent being hacked again? I say this because I’m fairly sure if it’s going to happen it’s going to be soon. Like when Ascended armor crafting happens. Because I got hacked last time right as weapons hit.

Did the email you got ask you to contact Customer Support if you did not initiate an email change? Because, that is what you should do. Top of Page – Support – Submit a Request. Good luck.
