davebert Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I just got a Password Change Request in my email about 20 minutes ago but I did not request one. Am I to assume someone is trying to hack my account and if so, what to do? The request looks real like it was sent from DCS. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The same here. I have got the request twice this year. I haven't react on it, but I don't know, if that's the right to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlidfan Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I know it is old news but password that contain actual words or phrases are easy targets.

FragBum Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Or,.. Someone tried to create an account with the same user name as one that already exits the software is not as obvious as it could be if you put in an existing "user" name in when creating an account. I'm not saying don't be concerned just that it may not be sinister, the only reason I say this is I tried to create a second account a while back and the software seems to be asking to enter a password as you create the account only to offer you to request to change user password via email.
