[PSA] Keep an eye on your GoG account!

Open

I received multiple emails this morning from GoG stating that someone had been trying to log into my account from a new device/location. Several different IP addresses were used but all of them were from "Brazil, João Pessoa". I live in the U.S. so there is no reason for anyone to be logging into my account from other countries. Fortunately I have two-step login activated so my account remained safe. It is highly recommended that you activate this feature too if you haven't already. I don't know if this is just an isolated case or not so heads up.

if they are attacking to multiple accounts, they can upload lots of drm free games soon. Shame.
I have also 2 step security never got an email about that.
