Account was hacked yesterday by someone in Denmark while I was out of the house doing shopping.
0 access was given to the hacker via my emails since it would require a message to my mobile for them to login.
My issue here is that just by knowing my password he was able to change my email and password without first sending a link to my email confirming whether or not I give permission for it.. this is unacceptable and i don't know of any other company that has as little account security as GoG do right now.
Obviously I have contacted support about the issue with no reply yet.
If you guys actually do something about 2 step verification or even sending a link to the accounts email that has to be clicked in order to bring up a page to change the password / email like every other company does this can be avoided very easily in the future.
My other worry is how did they even get my password? its a random letter / number combination in the first place that would take a super computer years to figure out.. my computer is not infected in anyway since all of my other accounts like steam / Battle.net / Origin / Uplay / Emails are all unaffected so something is very wrong.
I am currently posting this from my account because I am still logged into it but cannot change anything about it (password / email since I don't know what he changed it to)
