Yeah, some sort of statement is mandatory.

I've tried to collect data informally on this matter, but any idea how many accounts were compromised? Maybe, it's not a complete epidemic. I mean if it were, we'd be seeing a lot more posts like this one.

There's mine (I'm still waiting on a response from the powers that be). I've already messaged Judas and Firek.

I didn't log out of this computer so at least I can still post.

So much this. I know it's not reasonable to expect people to actually learn about computer security, but it's a damn shame that people lose their shit about stuff that a) happens all the time and b) almost always has an explanation that rhymes with "user error" or "stop going to porn sites without AdBlocker, ffs"

After the first couple of threads about account jacking, there should have been a statement.

If I was on the verge of buying W3 or using Galaxy, this silence would have stopped me from taking that step as the jacking seems to have occurred at the same time.

Not saying that Galaxy and W3 are the cause, but no statement doesn't exactly allay any fears that prospective users may have.

Disclaimer I don't have any skin in the game :

PS4 W3 and I don't need a client to play the games I have.

I also plead for some official info...

i`m also curious about what happens and how GoG handles the theft of account. I hope this is not a test for a new forum game:
Grand Theft Accounts (GTA).
Or is it?

John Oliver is a gem. Regardless of if I agree with the point he's making, his stuff comes across more clearly, more entertainingly, and often as better researched than most of the major news outlets bother with. Time will tell if he'll help make up for the loss of Stewart and Colbert (and Ferguson, though not remotely a similar genre, just throwing that out there because he was the only talk show I could watch on purpose).

I'm consistently impressed by Snowden in interviews. I had to set my bar low for "people who fight the man, rargh" with Assange and other dipshits, but Snowden, like him or not, always seems like he believes in what he's done and did his best to make educated decisions. Hard not to respect a guy like that.

Yeah, I wish there should be some sort of official statement (granted maybe the gravity of the situation is slowly dawning on them) even if we're dealing with only a dozen or so cases.

Although if they made an announcement via e-mail, I wouldn't get it because my e-mail has been changed (my account has been hacked, and I'm still waiting for a response to my requests).

I would encourage everyone to take a look at their account information and check that their e-mail address and whatnot are correct.

This seems more like the was a data breach somewhere and people are using the same passwords on multiple sites including GOG. Just how it seems, but it might not be. I doubt GOG is getting hacked, more like passwords are being cracked most likely...

2 step authorization should be added for sure though...

I personally stand behind xkcd's "correcthorsebatterystaple" in regards to passwords.

But it is a lot of GoG accounts at once. Also, with account merger with CD Projekt, might that have added another avenue of attack...

I support this, even if it's not on GOG's end, a statement would put many people's mind to peace. But with the sale having just started I'd expect to hear from GOG soon™ rather than soon.

My account was hijacked too... that was totally me not posting nonsense in those other threads, I swear it... not me at all... holy crap, who just impulse bought all these Summer sale games?!? GOG better refund me from "hijacking"... ok, ok... the only thing hijacking my account (and wallet) is this nonsense sale.

I just glanced at my URL bar and realised that, just maybe, I want to be viewing the forum via HTTPS instead. :-/
