This person was just notified by 'Mastercard' that their name, password and email was comprised on 4/22/2021 from epic games.com


From r/EpicgamesPC

There was also another thread regarding this but was deleted as it isn't a confirmed breach yet but another person was warned by Norton.com of a possible breach..


Also from r/EpicGamesPC

So two user reports of a breach so far..

Since i have had 2FA on for months i don't think i need to maybe worry but the lot of you who didn't yet or want to change your login info.. just might wanna do that just in case..

Edit:

A Random person on twitter 2 days ago...




A lot more people on twitter are talking that they also received an alert.

Bleh :(

Fortunately I don't save my payment info online and have unique login/password for every service, so hopefully any damage is minimal.

This doesn't exactly help their case for wanting to sideload their bullshit into every ecosystem.

Thankfully I've got 2FA, don't have any payment info on there, and use a completely unique password.

So happy for 1password when this nonsense happens.

Gimme a refresher, how does that site relate to the EGS? The user database is shared between the site and the store?

If you mean you log in using Google as your Identity Provider instead of having a separate Epic account, I would think you would be fine. Providing of course that your Google account is well protected. If you have any data you care about at all on EGS (or any service, really), go and enable two-factor authentication, and use the mobile authenticator app if possible.

Only used it to get RCT3 for free a month or so ago. I forget, do you need credit card information on file in order to download free games? If not, I don't care that much about this.

Both of my epic acc's have been 2FA since the option was available in addition to my Paypal being only saved on it so I should be safe. Tbh it's hard to have any account these days without there being a breach somewhere, as long as you have 2fa tied to your phone and authenticator you should be good.
