Guild Wars 2

so basically i got an email just a few hours ago stating that someone attempted to log-in my account.

A log-in attempt from the following location is currently awaiting your authorization.

Address: 125.120.255.170
City: Sijiqing Jiedao
Region: 02
Country: CN

This location is approximated based on information provided by your Internet Service Provider. If in doubt, deny the request and try again.

If you are certain this log-in attempt was not made by you, then someone else knows your log-in credentials and you should change your password immediately via Account Management.

For security purposes, we alert you each time your account is accessed from an unrecognized location. To authenticate this log-in attempt, please click the link below:

I’m not pasting links but i was wondering if this is a real or is this some sort of scam, anything i should do regarding this email?

Cheers!

I read it all over the forums that this is happening and this should be merged in to a sticky or something.

Chang your password is all i can say to make sure.

Change your email and password, it means they know your password and email

whenever a login to your account happens from a different area they block it and send you that email, if it is you trying to get in from there then accept it, if not, change your password immediately. also your emails password if it is the same.

Thanks for the input guys, i hope this doesn’t happen a lot.

There is a potential for a keylogger depending on what sites or programs you have used.
Account hackings are mainly due to a keylogger inside a hack or bot or phishing site.(Not Saying you used one.) If a keylogger is the case changing password will not stop them. They will get the info time and time again. For those who do not know what a keylogger is. Its a program that records keystrokes when a certain window pops up, Such as the log in window. This will save your info to a Text File for them to access.
I suggest a Password change a long with you looking into what you have been doing.
