Fortnight Account Hacked

Anyone got a reply yet? I managed to get in touch with the community manager here, but still no reply from the support guys yet.

I’ve been getting these for weeks. Hadn’t played Fortnite/UT4 or anything in about a year, couldn’t remember my login details so changed my password. Been getting ā€œYour Epic Games account has been locked due to multiple invalid login attempts. Please wait 120 minutes before trying to access your account.ā€ almost daily since.

Seeing so many reports of this, it looks like epic’s security is lacking…

I there:
I received the next email ā€œYour Epic Games account has been locked due to multiple invalid login attempts. Please wait 120 minutes before trying to access your account.ā€

However, it’s not my fault. I created an epic account many years ago (for to work with unreal engine) but i finally never used it.

My account was hacked, but I was able to recover it. He purchased Save the World, changed my password, my first/last name to his, my phone number to his, blocked all my friends and added a couple of his own, completed a quest, increased my tier level and changed all my emotes, and put on one of those ridiculous backpacks. I’ve changed my password, added 2 step sign-in, changed my email password and enabled 2 step sign-in. I DON’T KNOW YOU! THAT’S MY PURSE!

My account just got hacked. And the person who did it bought v-bucks for around 260 euro. Waiting to get a refund.
