Guild Wars 2

Hey guys
This morning at between 3am and 4am (GMT+10) i had about 20 or so login attempts on my account (which were not authenticated, thank god) all of which originated from the same area, should i be concerned by this? is there anyway to tell if my account has been compromised?
iv gone ahead and reset my passwords, but i have a feeling that its not gonna help too much

YEs. If that happened, then someone, somewhere, has your username and pass, but thankfully not your email address. This means that you most likely have malware on your system and you should find it or reformat before you change your pass or log into your email.

If you change your info before you find the point of compromise, they’ll just get your new details.

It’s actually very unlikely to be malware. It’s possible, so have an antivirus, but probably not the culprit so reformatting would not help.

Make sure you don’t use your new GW2 pw anywhere else.

Cesario,
If you are a member of many of the sites that have been hacked of late (Playstation is the big one probably), then it’s likely your password has been compromised. It’s far more likely that your password has been leaked through one of those sites than malware at this point, honestly. So many sites have been hacked of late that if you were registered to ANY of them, even if they SAY that no Password information was accessed, do not trust them. Use different passwords, especially now that hacking of “secure” sites is so common.

Just a hint, do NOT click on any link in those emails, most of them are actually phishing emails that want you to click on a link that will take you to a website that look just like GW2’s website, and it’ll want you to input your info to log in. That is how they steal your info. If you want to check, manually go to guildwars2.com and check.

Anet has to add a pin system that only can be reset it or change sending a ticket to support, i mean an ingame pin system like in aion that is asked after log in game and locks the characters.

Cheers for the info guys,
im not a member of too many sites (not psn, xbl or even FB for that matter), but i have ensured that each site contains a different complex password, so i dont have any double ups on any.
Im generally fairly clue-full on how to spot a phishing scam because i deal with them for work, but i guess i will just keep switching passwords every few weeks to make sure
