Guild Wars 2

Some days ago I received an email from Playspan telling me they got hacked and their entire database was stolen but “only usernames (emails) and passwords” (yeah like if that was not important at all) but not billing data.

Last night after I logged off from the game and before going to bed I checked my emails as usual and realized I got 2 log in attempts from China. I don’t know if these events are related cause I used Playspan a long time ago and have no clue what my log in information was, but certainly my log in information (username/password/email) matched somehow in my GW2 account although I have a variety of emails/usernames and passwords I use for my online activity.

That being said, be aware of this Playpan issue, take care and change your passwords in a regular basis.

And finally props to Anet for giving us a secure environment to avoid hacking/stealing.

Cheers!

I will mention this.
