== Content ==
			
I unsubbed from Wildstar last night around 10pm since I don't really play much anymore.  My account is still active and it still has 2 factor authentication on it, and it has since the beginning of the game.
 
As the last 12 hours have gone by after I've unsubbed, I've had a person from Taiwan try to access my account and I'm getting random Wildstar gold spam messages in my gmail account that I use as my login.  I'm from Chicago, not Taiwan btw.
 
In the two months I've played, I have never once had a Wildstar gold spam email nor any suspicious login activity on my account up until last night when I cancelled.
 
I'm sure I'll see a plethora of 'UR COMPUTER IS TROJAN'D LEWL' replies but if someone were to steal anything of mine, I'm pretty sure there is something infinitely more valuable than a locked down, unsubbed Wildstar account in my browser history/cache/hard drive.  I believe the timing of everything has played a big part in this.  I'm assuming that whoever tried to access my account believed that I wouldn't be back to it for awhile and was trying to hijack/steal all of my stuff so that I wouldn't notice.
 
Just a warning to those out there.  When/if you decide to leave, make sure your password is secure and that you've got 2 step auth set up so that you don't get all of your stuff stolen.

			there is no 2 factor authentication on the website, they cannot get to your character unless they contact support. Your lack of security is the reason they have your account, I doubt timing has anything to do with it

So.. if I read this one right, Carbine is in league with the Korean Gold Farmers waiting to strip farm anyone who unsubs and sell that plat on the black market?  
 
...how much have you been smoking and where can I get some?  That is EPIC level Tinfoil Hat.

I don't read posts, I just post opinions, is this your first day?

			Obviously he sold his account.

			All that means is someone found out the email account you use for W* and tried to access the website, and is sending you E-mails.  It's most likely a coincidence.	
----
			Of course, the minute you unsubbed Carbine sold your account information to a gold seller.... just to spite you...

			Hi! I haven't unsubbed and I continue playing almost everyday a few hours. I've got the 2-step verification and today I was kicked from the game and one of them it was just after I logged in. For my surprise tonight I received an email from NCsoft support telling someone form Taiwan was trying to log in but that person failed thanks to Carbine because I have the 2-step verification. Just when I had bought my first credd... I'm worried :( I've played many mmorpgs and once my account was stolen (in World of Warcraft) but in those times I didn't have Blizzard's security app.

Just double checking, which website did you unsub from?
 
wildstar-online.com
 
or
 
wildstar-onliine.com?
 
The latter is a phishing attempt site.  It looks identical to the original and might even forward to the actual site once you tried to log in (I have never tried to log in on the phishing site).  If you ever been to that site before auto-complete might fill it out and could be easily missed.
 
It could explain why your email address is now out there.

Install microsoft security essential (it's free), and get something (free too) like MALWAREBYTE, and do a full scan. Change your email password.
 
Enjoy

			Does anyone else change their WildStar related email and password every time a thread like this pops up? :P Glad people are getting on board the 2FA, how anyone is still rolling without is beyond me.
