I just got a few emails concerning my two step verification from fucking SWEDEN and some asshole living in Calhan, US. Is ANYONE else having security issues or did my shit just get brute forced?

Also, is there anything I should change in my account besides the obvious password?

It looks like they have your email address, so you might want to get a new one before they hack this one. (not saying they already have access, but they need your email-address to try to hack your account)

Besides changing gog password and email password, open this page:
https://www.gog.com/account/settings/security
Go to "Login and Security".
Move your cursor to the bottom-right of the screen, and press the button "LOGOUT ALL". If someone was logged in your account, that should forcefully do a logout in his/her machine.

Just changing your e-mail password (just to be on the safe side) and your GOG password should be enough.
EDIT: Tixed fypo.

Calhan? How in the heck? There's nothing even IN that city but dirt and weeds. I'd be surprised to learn they even had INTERNET.
How the blazes did somebody hack you from CALHAN?!

This is the third fourth or fifth topic on this. The answer, yes. A lot of us got IP's from Russia.

swaggerjack: ...IDK why....
Why as in "what's the purpose" or why as in "how could this happen"?

If its the former? Money laundry or some other kind of scam scheme.

If its the latter? You use the same email and user name for several services and one of them got compromised.
