Spasticatedtoad Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Its not just you. I have also reiceived several requests to change my passsword also. The emails all came in in just the last 10 minutes.. :/
Belphe Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Neither is mine. It seems to be the main website related but looks genuine and IMHO is sent from the DCS servers. Never say never, Baby! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Sephki Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 4 e-mails as well. I've changed my password not via the link, but the account management page, everything else looks fine.
eurofor Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Mine isnt. Hmm that's interesting. Somehow they must have got either a username or an email address to trigger it. So perhaps it is just testing? But even if it is not, I'm not worried. If anything it's just an annoyance. Those codes that were generated are too long to guess within any reasonable amount of time.

Ramstein Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 email from DCS telling me how to change my password I never asked DCS server to change my password... some funny business there?? :huh: ASUS Strix Z790-H, i9-13900, WartHog HOTAS and MFG Crosswind G.Skill 64 GB Ram, 2TB SSD EVGA Nvidia RTX 2080-TI (trying to hang on for a bit longer) 55" Sony OLED TV, Oculus VR

Well, if anyone gets onto your account they can just read the codes off your purchase history... :cry: I mean the 32 character code that is part of the url on the link in the email sent to you that goes directly to a page where the password can be changed.

funkyb Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Same here, just be careful and dont click on the links and make sure your passwords for the sites and your email account is long and mixed characters The notes look legit to me, as in they are properly originating from eagle.ru. Since that's the case I don't think clicking on the link is any danger unless their servers are compromised, in which case we're probably up a creek click or no click. The only other way I see this benefiting the attacker is if they also succeed in gaining access to a user's e-mail account.
71st_Mastiff Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 tonight I received 6 attempts to change my password from ED Forums, some one is trying to hack my account.:joystick: "any failure you meet, is never a defeat; merely a set up for a greater come back", W Forbes.

NeilWillis Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 There have been issues logging into the multiplayer server. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they relate to that. I had to change mine Tuesday, and another of our Squadron hosts had to do the same tonight. We couldn't access the server until we'd done so.

Lord Cochrane Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 I recieved two of these emails about an hour ago as well.
Buzpilot Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) I got one an hour ago too, if it was a hacker causing the downed Forum a week ago or so, I never use same password on forum for online anyway, or email password. Make sure you delete it, in case it's a fake one, it might reveal your password if you try changing it from this one. But you should probably change both the forum password and online password, just in case. But do it from a reset you started yourself.

pyromaniac4002 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Add 4 password change requests to the list from my end.
AtaliaA1 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 No need to change the password, it is a "Password Sniffer" like back in the old AOL times. Requesting a change hoping U use their web page or email to do so. If u do not it gets nothing from U. Hence no need to change due to a "Sniffer". This was a Boutique Builder iBuypower rig.
