Hi GOG-users.

Did anyone else receive emails about someone trying to login to your account?
The IP was 193.202.84.115 from Russia, OS: Windows 10, Browser: Chrome 77.0.3865 (none of which I use om my PC).

Any reason to be concerned?

I've received nothing though if someone's trying to access your account, I'd definitely enable 2-Step Login if I were you:-

Thanks, mate.
The two-step authentication was (luckily) already enabled, that's why I got the notification.
Was just wondering if it was a site-wide attack, and/or if the hackers got my login-info from other locations.

If it were site wide you'd definitely see a lot more people complain. It's possible that someone got your e-mail address from a leak on another site (there's a ton of them these days). The only other thing I'd suggest is making sure you have a strong password for your e-mail / changing it if you think it's been leaked recently. At the very least I'd definitely make sure your e-mail password and GOG password are not the same and preferably, keep your e-mail password completely unique and never reuse it for any other site as that's one obvious defeat for the two-step authentication (not just GOG but everywhere).

Yeah, I was thinking I'd see more topics here if it was site-wide.
I'm not using the same password for "important" accounts, as I do my internet logins.
I blocked the IP from incoming traffic on my machine, and changed my password on GOG.

Guess that's what I can do for now.

Thanks for the replies.
Suspicious post above me...

EDIT: It's gone, together with the post before.

A shame that we have no "Report this post" button to use on shady messages. This is something GOG dev team should think about adding to the forum software.

It's not as if that would ever be misused or even worked properly when it was there before.

Not being able to report a post = fascism.
