My Eccie account was hacked

- If you had a strong password (like P4sSw0rd4321!) then you probably have a more severe underlying issue which you need to look into.
- If your password was weak (like password1234) then you probably just had someone guess/force it and changing it to something strong will likely solve the problem.
- If you shared your Eccie password with other things, like email, other logins, etc. then you need to change them to something strong and DIFFERENT than each other (cumbersome, I know).

Strong password tip: pick a password you like, then "shift" it one direction or the other. Let's say your password is BBW123!, shifting that 1 key (on your keyboard) right = NNE234@, something far less obvious.

Its not just her. I've noticed someone has been attempting to access my account as well. As well as another.

This is frustrating. Clients are still getting messages. My 630pm whom I've seen twice before even cancelled on me. Acting put off even after I explained to him the situation and that it wasn't me who had sent the messages. He said I'll catch you next time...ummm no you won't actually. I'm good.

Don't trip on your client, it's business not personal

My point being, there's not much that the staff can do to fix, or help with, your underlying problem. Either an infected computer or weak password (or both).

That said, I recently encountered the "your password is 365 days old" forced change. That time could be shortened; but you'd likely see a drop in users, an increase in guests, more work for the staff, or any combination thereof, for having to regularly update them. Probably wouldn't help much as weak passwords would still being weak, though.

For what its worth the same thing is happening to me. I cant log in because it says I had too many failed attempts, yet I only tried once

Eccie is FUCKED. Virus going around and being downloaded. I opened my account today and said wrong password. Went back to reset and there was a link in my email. I clicked on it and had some guy smiling at my saying - "Gotcha"....stupid ass hackers. There is a virus.,

Yeah, the dialect in the pms I supposedly sent was very Nigerianish sounding. I can't believe anyone reading one of them would have even remotely believed I had written it. Guess I was wrong.

At least I don't feel singled out as much anymore. Conspiracy theories are not my friend, but I was starting to get a tad paranoid.

You went through the steps on eccie to reset your password and, upon clicking the email sent from eccie, got a response of "gotcha?" doesn't particularly add up. How are you logged in now? This is the kind of misinformation that causes more issue than it helps solve.

As for me, I was able to mobile site and changed password. Some of u understand net probably understand how. I have no sign of hacked or virus on my end. I can only assumed Eccie is hacked or trying to hack. I am not sure how much info are stored by Eccie.

Was having trouble also....Kept saying password incorrect. I tried the worldwide link and it worked. Dallas eccie won't accept password...

What web browser are you using to get Eccie?
Next, what device or devices are you trying to use?

I experienced the same thing. One login attempt and I received a message that my account was locked because I had exceeded my login attempt quota. I tried changing my password several times with plenty of time elapsing between attempts and I was locked out for about 5 days.

I logged on as a guest and read this thread and saw I wasn't the only one. I was finally able to log in after changing my strategy.

Same thing just happened to me. I logged in through the mobile site and switched to the full site. Will it help if I change my password?
