So the email account that I use only for wildstar is starting to get break in attempt.
 
Several times this week I've gotten "verification" confirmation being sent to my inbox, not initiated by me, and just an hour ago there was an attempt to reset all my account info.
 
I only use this email for wildstar, and the password is unknown to me - it's randomly generated by keepass.
 
Really it's not the first time threads pop up like this about stolen accounts and hack attempt.
Is there something going on from carbine's part??

*tinfoil*
 
What if rogue CS devs are botting on accounts and selling gold as a side business?
 
 
*/end insane tinfoil*
 
 
But really though that's pretty weird, best I can think of is WS hackers targeting massive randomly generated email lists, kind of like brute forcing,

			No, that reset is being done on the hotmail website, so someone knows my email address.

Wait... you can't change the email address from the account page? You have to go through CS?

I am using the curse client.
has it really been suspected of sending data to a third party?

Is it your NCSoft account that is getting break in attempts, or your email? Very confused here.
 
Because if it's the email, there is not much NCSoft or Carbine can do.

This is high grade bullshit though. I have been using Curse for years and never ever have I had a problem.

Check the site the email links you to
 
does it go to wildstar-onliine? with 2 i?
 
That is just typical phising email.  It is not an official one.
 
And if anyone entered their user email and password on that site, I would suggest you go to the real website and change it immediately.

Well if OP is telling the truth they shouldn't have been able to get his email address just saying

That (more here: http://support.curse.com/entries/37138437-Security-Issue-Fake-Curse-Site-and-Client) is the only confirmed issue that curse has ever had any problems and it wasn't even curse.  There's always the chance that addons, in other games, can do fishy things, but NO addon is loaded, in Wildstar, until you're in-game, and installing manually wouldn't have alleviated it.
