I keep getting security code texts in Russian, German and English.

★★ Apprentice

As I stated above. I keep getting security text codes in Russian, German and English. This has been going on for about a month. I have read articles about system possibly having a virus on them. Just out of precaution, I did a sweep with Malwarebytes, Windows Defender and ClamWin. All had the same result. No viruses or other malware.

 

Is there a way that I can stop this? I have also changed my password several times since this started. I've tried everything short of closing my account, in which I would lose all my games, which is not an option. I have also included a screenshot, though I am not sure how that will help. But you never know

 

Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks

What you are seeing does not indicate a virus.

 

What is recommended is to add an additional layer of security to your account by enabling Login Verification, also known as two factor authentication. You can do that using the info at this link:

Also, it may be prudent to change the password of the email address you have associated with your EA account.

I've changed my password, I don't even play any new ea games and rarely play anything anymore. But your stupid system keeps sending these text messages all times of day and night. I've changed my information more than once, and it still within a few days is sending them again. Your system is compromised and your support system is ridiculously complicated. Your support here keeps saying solved when all you do is post the same copied tripe and click solved, it is NOT solved. With all the computer programmers you have available, you would think this problem could have been fixed years ago.

This issue just started for me and a friend as well within the past month. I have changed my password and enabled two factor authentication. The barrage of Russian and English text messages has not stopped.

 

Please identify the problem!

I have the exact same issue. I have been receiving these text messages with EA Security Codes for over a year. EA does nothing to solve the issue...

I’ve been dealing with this too for at least 6 months and it’s driving me crazy. I’ve changed passwords and email and it doesn’t matter. I also never use EA these days (except for a mobile game) and have no payment info connected so I’m not overly worried but the texts are getting insanely annoying

Enabling the two factor authentication does nothing to stop the text. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! 

 

Neither does changing your password or email.

 

 

Edit going to start blocking the numbers to see if it helps
