Refresh you Security
« Opened on January 18, 2017, 05:02:35 AM (Edited January 23, 2017, 07:41:05 AM) »
Good morning,

I woke up this morning to an email at 4:35am.  Apparently someone hacked into my account on Mojang and changed my username from ChrisKnight44 to kriss15.  I have since changed the password and security questions as a precaution and contacted Mojang.  However, unless they don't change it back I will be stuck with a username that a hacker gave me.

I want to remind everyone out there that this can happen to anyone and not just on Minecraft but an email account, bank account, etc.  Please check that you have security in place to prevent such things.  In  the mean time, please ignore my username :P

Update:

Mojang has written back and restored my username today.  I want to thank the awesome Admins and Staff that we have.  They kindly gave me a temporary nick name so that I didn't have to look at the unchosen one.  Thank you!
