EA/Origin Servers may have been compromised

Howsit all,

To be sure check ur account details as i got a mail randomly from EA saying my email was changed (Was a legit email). There was an option to revert it back which i clicked and was then able to go forget password. Wanted to change account name as it is gibberish but the security question was also changed... if i was you i would go and check if u have any payment methods there and change passwords

My account was compromised in 2014 despite having activated this with SMS or email confirmation. Customer support was beyond useless and didn't understand me telling them their two factor authentication was not working.

This happened with my Steam account as well at the end of November/beginning December. Still trying to recover my stolen account...

It is simple to bypass two factor authentication, I figured out how awhile ago and reported it to Origin. Last time I checked they still hadn't fixed the loophole.
