It’s come to our attention that thieves (true scum of the Earth, seriously, just horrible, horrible people) are hacking into email accounts of UO players. Once they have an email address and password, they use that to get a player’s UO account name and password. If you see a password request email in your inbox that you didn’t request, you should immediately change the password on your email account and your UO accounts. Also, for all players, it would be wise to make sure your email addresses have complex passwords involving numbers and punctuation marks. Don’t use a simple password that is easy to guess. Free email services offered by Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail are especially vulnerable so be extra vigilant if you use one of those. Also, you might also use an email address with your UO account separate from the one you use in public. That would make your UO account extra safe.
