Constant security leaks/accounts hacked

[Antares]

Hi, I don't play WT regularly nowadays but I'm literally getting almost daily emails about my Gaijin account being attempted to be logged in or password to be reset. It's getting infuriating... I've changed my password multiple times and also have 2FA on but I don't understand how Gaijin can't get their ♥♥♥♥ under control and have proper security measures. I don't want my email on some spam list... It's definitely not something on my end since I've got clean windows install a while back and my accounts been compromised before and after too.

That sounds like some other account of yours has been compromised. I recommend checking and changing the passwords of email and other accounts that might be similar to the WT account.

Nope, 100% not, it's guaranteed on Gaijin's side. I've changed passwords on my email, too. and I use unique passwords for everything anyway.

You're sure that your computer is not compromised?

What makes you think your email account hasn't been compromised?

Idk man, why don't you tell me what's more likely?
I got over 50 sign in attempts in the last 3 Months from this ONE service that I haven't used in at least half a year, and you know someone hacked my email, they specifically went to find my login to some random grindy game with a mediocre playerbase to try to steal my account, and somehow from my emails they found out the password I set (which btw is not in a single email that gaijin sends out) but they ignore my bank account, my steam account, my youtube, twitter, facebook, ebay, amazon, netflix and whatever other accounts I have and ONLY go for my shady russian company owned game account? Makes 100% sense to me...

Sigh.

Emails are very easy to acquire and literally any source you've plugged your email into could've distributed, lost it, etc.

Something hackers like to do is check to see if your email address is registered with various services, free to play games being quite prominent as users are much more likely to have stored personal information for billing purposes, including card information.

What they then try to do is crack into your account using scripts of common passwords people use. As long as you're not using something like "password99," you're fine. You can change your password as many times as you want, but if someone has your email address, you just have to deal with it as it occurs and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it other than you deleting your email account and using a new one.

Yea so how do they know my actual password I changed 5x? I'm not talking about spam subscription services, I'm talking about gaijin leaking personal information that's relatively fresh

we get it, you cant keep a account secure. no reason to start abusing the game or playerbase that you also expect to help you.

It sounds like your PC is compromised by a keylogger calling home to somebody trying to do stuff with your email.

Yes super helpful that you're stating something blatantly incorrect

Surely that's 100% more likely because they want my warthunder and not my bank hmm?

Yes sorry for being rude and accepting blatantly incorrect arguments as "help" it's so obvious gaijin is leaking I've stated dozens of reasons that completely rule it out being on my end

Lmao I genuinely don't know how you can suck gaijins dong so hard, why would you not accept that it's the most likely thing to happen? Google and you can find dozens upon dozens of examples of their data breaches...

everything people have suggested you shot down without even trying it, and yet im sucking off gaijin? then you tell ME to google YOUR problem after you belittle the game and playerbase...

are you delusional?

[El Berl]

It looks like nobody else can second this guy's history of getting his data breached.

Yes I shot down all of your suggestions due to being nonsensical. This wasn't a question about "what to do" but a statement for gaijin to do something about their ♥♥♥♥♥♥ security

Considering i've been getting emails from gaijin for years and I've not a penny missing from my account I think i'm pretty sure I know the source of the problem

what is exactly the use of this post (the OP) if you are not contacting officially gaijin or its web here, but steam players?
If you dont care of gaijin or your old war thunder account that you wont use (if i understand your intentions correctly) i have a solution. Block any email from gaijin and forget this game and this forum even exist.
Obviously you are 100 % sure that your computer and your email are safe. You told us so. You know better than eveybody else here. And are thus are more evolved than us.
win win. You win not getting annoying emails we dispense of useless boring posts.

Agreed. Nothing to gain by continuing this debate.
