its easy to get your password if you have a key logger on your system.....is your virus checker upto date have you checked for spyware recently.... do you have a static ip address .... do you use peer 2 peer..... do you down load mp3 music....

It only takes one time for you to input your email and password...they have you....

Have you ever used that password on any web site accounts - especially a BF2 related clan sites? If so, do you use the same password as you do for BF2? Most/all CMS sites do not store your password in plain text - instead they store it encrypted (usually MD5).

However, there are two ways a site operator could get your password.

1) Change the code to store your password unencrypted. This would be very easy to do. Once that is done, anyone who signes up for an account is giving the operator their information and password. The operator could then try using the email/username and passwrod at vairious sites such as PayPal, Ebay, etc.

2) Even though MD5 is technically unencryptable, if the password is a common word or phrase, there are dictionary cracks that exists. So, again the operator *could* have your password.

If you have never used that password anywhere else and it is not a "simple" password then you may have a key-logger. Good luck.

if he had a keylogger why would they steal his bf2 account and not his bank details?

Becuase the police would actually care if they did that, what's he going to do, go down to his local police office and ask to fill out a stolen BF2 account report?

Anyway, I'm guessing this guy is just going after reasonably high end accounts, might be someone you know (as in you might of given some details to). Whoever it is bad luck, maybe time for some sunshine

Maybe he's a kid (by that I mean someone from 14 to 18) who doesn't have one.

Umm, keyloggers aside, if they knew what they were doing they probably connected to the account server via TelNet and brute forced your password.
Then they probably changed your email with gamespy.

Pickle_powers account was on ebay last time I heard about it, maybe this guy is just hacking these accounts and flogging them on ebay.


If anyone cares to do a little research

If you look at ur stats closely, ur spm, and accuracy have gone down in the past few days alone, but k/d up (camper?). I'm Assuming the guy sucks at BF2 so wanted to hack an account so he doesn't look like a shithead.

This isn't going to be any consolation but from my experience way back when my first account was subjected to the gamespy/bf2login account corruption bug EA couldn't have cared less about restoring my account.

You might be SOL.

uhhh if you read the post in the ea.com forums you can see that this guy is selling all the accounts on ebay

And also I got a problem with my main account....my pass said it was incrorect so i sent an email change to my email and I got it but it wont let me change my pass and no matter what I do I can't get on my account.  So I am pretty sure that ea just screwed up my account.

no nothing....I think what I got was just a comman glitch.  Where ea thinks you changed your password but really didn't.  My clan mate told me he got the same glitch I got a while back
