Hammer Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Why am I getting password change request over 80 times? My email is becoming flooded with requests I did not make to ED. Is anyone having this happen to them or know why it's happening to me? 9 to 12 requests with in a minute than it starts over again the next. it's up to 32 total now. Thanks in advance.

Buzpilot Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Maybe a good idea if ED looks at the last visitors on our 'UserCP' page, to see if one name have been looking for email, on all who is listed here. i5 4670 - Sabertooth Z87- GTX Titan - Dell U3011 30" - 2x8GB RAM 1800 - Samsung 840 EVO 512GB SSD - Warthog HOTAS - CH Pro pedals - TrackIR5 - Win7 64bit EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyb Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) No need to change the password, it is a "Password Sniffer" like back in the old AOL times. Requesting a change hoping U use their web page or email to do so. If u do not it gets nothing from U. Hence no need to change due to a "Sniffer". Don't think so. The e-mail originates from eagle.ru and the link directs to the proper dcs reset page. Unless they have compromised the ed host, your personal email account, or god forbid root dns al-la some kaminsky style exploit, then clicking that link and resetting your password probably doesn't pose any risk.

VincentLaw Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I also received this, and I came here to make a topic about it. Looks like someone is trying to steal accounts. My password was not changed though. I will delete the emails I received. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3PukkU Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I got also got a couple of requests to change password. Looks like someone got a list of usernames and is hitting the password reset, possibly looking for compromised email accounts.

Phantom453 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Two here, six minutes apart. Identical. Link takes me to what appears to be legit ED password change page (without requiring my password!). Obviously I haven't entered anything. Some advice from ED staff would be greatly appreciated right now about what is going on and what action, if any, is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonk Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Just receive 2, I guess someone wants to play DCS.... ? I manually visited the DCS store and changed my password at the ED Store and the ED Forums (they are always different), just in case. Curious if they are getting the list of users from the forum ? I usually play at AEF/104/and 159. Maybe one of these is where they are gathering login names Edited October 31, 2014 by gonk Intel Intel Core i7-8086K 32 Gig RAM 1 Tb Nvme SSD EVGA 1080Ti Win 10 64 Pro LG 34UM95 34 inch Monitor Track IR 5 Oculus Rift HOTAS Warthog...mod'd TDC SIMPEDS Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streakeagle Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I am guessing they failed and moved on after 4 tries, as I am still logging in with my original somewhat complex password that would be very hard to guess or even hit with random sequences.
