My uplay account was hacked. I blogged about it. I was getting Emails every day about people all around the world using my account.
I received a video game for free called Watchdogs 2 for buying my graphics card a few years back. This is the only game on my account so I didn't care about it. Also the game is basically Grand Theft Auto, except you're an elite hacker, AND my password for the account had the word "hacker" in it, so I thought that was hilarious.
I let the dark web use my account until they tried to access my facebook account. Then I realized my Steam account had the same password... OOPS! Changed that real fast. (Not that I use Steam that often.)
It was fun while it lasted.
The best part is that password has been hacked twice. Way back in the day when I was using AOL Instant Messenger my friend hacked the account by solving my security questions. Back then security was garbage and AOL actually told my friend what the password was. Today password resets obviously don't behave like that for this exact reason.
He used this information to "hack" into my computer and place a crude and graphic stick-figure drawing of me with an ex-girlfriend. He masterminded its placement in a way where both me and my current girlfriend would see it at the same time.
Why did he do this? Because I ate some pizza that he specifically told me not to eat. lol. It was pretty funny in an immature kind of way.
I've used Have I been Pwned before. Just checked myself out again. It claims I've been pwned on LinkedIn, Myspace, Evony (LOL) and 4 unconfirmed other services.
Needless to say the password I use for Email is totally unique. If they get your Email account you are done did super pwned.
I would leave Internet if ever they get access to my email 😂
