Hello,
Just a warning to you all, today I was trying to redeem one of my gift links, when I noticed it was used I thought maybe I had used it and forgot, but I was fairly certain I hadent. I decided to check another, same thing, next thing you know, I checked all my links going back to 2014, and all have been "used". It was now clear that I got hacked, and 114 giftlinks have been stolen.
Many of which were pretty good and expensive games.
I have written HB waiting for their response and hoping for the best, thought I'm not sure how they'd manage to replace some of the keys for games that were bundled with them almost 3 years ago.

My advice, do not used the gift link feature at all, and change your password, get all the protection you can get.
I will update with whatever happens.

UPDATE: Wanted to update and give credit to fantastic work by the HB support after much back and forth and a lot of work from everybody. all the keys were returned.

2 of mine I got last week were redeemed as well without me doing anything.

Does anyone recognize it?

Always enable two-factor verification. It is far from perfect (phones and phone numbers are not actually intended to be used as security measures - a determined attacker who knows enough about you can steal them, at least temporarily), but it helps a lot.
