Was just sitting at my computer watching some Walking dead and someone tried to hack my Origin account as it disconnected and gave me a message that it was in use on another computer. Just had to unfuck that shit real quick. Check your shit Guys
 
Make sure you are using dual authentication for origin. Anytime someome tries to login from a non-authorized computer they will send an email to you to confirm.
 
I try to do that and I get an error message stating that "It's not possible to send emails at this time. Try again later." I seem to remember getting this error once before, when I tried to validate.

Edit: So I submitted a trouble ticket. I'll get a call in 44 minutes... wow, they must have had a security breach or are just wayyyy understaffed.

Edit2: Wow, got a call back sooner than I expected, only 10 minutes went by. Tech Support sent a verification code to my email to verify ownership, then had me click on a few screens, and it's good to go. Now if there's any shady stuff going on with login, I'll get a text message (or email). You can choose either method. Nice to get a quick response.

I've had that setup on my account for a long time myself. Thankfully, nobody has attempted to hack it yet. :)
 
Thanks for the two verification thingy, didnt know anything about that.
