Hi, I was just emptying my Spam folder in Gmail, and discovered that a login notice was sent there in error. I marked it as not spam, and changed the password on my account.
There weren't as many details as I would like, but here is what I got (edited out email for safety):

Thankfully I don't have any games registered on this account, so all I had to do was change the password.
I do not recycle passwords, so I'm not sure how a hacker got in. I also don't know what the UA is. United Arab Emirates? I've never used an electronic device outside of the Continental US. Is there a way to region lock my account? My bank won't allow purchases outside my State without advanced notice, and I think that would be a helpful feature for any game service.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Login Verification is definitely the way to go, so I have marked your post as a solution.
UA is Ukraine.
Thanks.

Is there a way to pin threads we find useful? I used a search string for unauthorized login to find this.
Figured it out myself, hit the … dropdown and subscribed to thread. This is a very helpful feature as my browser handles bookmarks extremely poorly.
