Getting spammed with security code emails

Every minute, and sometimes more than once a minute, I’m getting emails from Blizzard Entertainment with a security code that I’ve requested when I haven’t requested one. I’ve been browsing the forums at work but that was it.

Should I be concerned somebody is trying to break in to my account?

Given you have an authenticator, I don’t think they can actually access your account - but someone may have your email.

I’d try changing the email associated with your Blizzard account, see if that helps.

Do you have an authenticator attached to your account? If the answer is no I would say I would be concerned.

If the answer is yes I would be mildly concerned but know that I am protected.

You can always open a ticket on the forums here. Upper right I think it is and ask if anybsuspecious activity is occurring.

A blue might possibly be able to take a peak as well if their workload and time permits.

Either way, when you get home I would run a full scan on your system and change all of your passwords from a different source, such as your phone in cellular network just to be safe.

And nevermind. The panda may be sleepy. But she is sneaky like ninja too.

Thank you for the response. I’m glad I have the authenticator. Does this suggest somebody IS trying to break in though?

You should scan your computer for malware. As well, you should change the password on your email account from another device if possible.

Possibly. That’s why a new email was suggested.

Depends, Linja. If they have your email - they could be trying to change it - but won’t get very far without more info, especially if you have an authenticator.

You are certain these are from us? Phishes often take the form of that sort of thing.

Could also be a security trigger from our end if the system doesn’t recognize your location, but that most often locks an account and all you need to do is a password change.

It appears pretty official. I will change the associated email as suggested. Thank you very much.
