Somebody used "forgot password" on my account.

I don't recognize that IP. It's located in Manchester, UK somewhere.

Any process for dealing with this? Figured I'd bring it up.

Report it to CCP immediately, I'd recommend including your API information to them if possible so they can verify the account information. From there, they may be able to offer you some options for an account transfer or other security options.

He's talking about his Backstage account. CCP will not give a crap.

I'll see if I can find anything, but chances are someone with full admin rights (Silver, Misan, Casi) will find more than I can.

Edit: Looks like multiple attempts to a few different accounts that I can see (though not yours, oddly). I'll drop a note in the mod area.

Lagging Behind

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

That makes sense, I assumed it was his EVE account (though I'm not sure why). Sorry.

I'm about to head out to a doctor visit but will check what I can when I can.

In the meantime, change your passwords on your email addresses. All of them.

Ken, you too.

Anybody else who wants to change their passwords on their email and this site would be well advised to do so. Make sure your secret question is a good one while you're doing that.

Fascinating.  Glad I use throwaway e-mail addresses for accounts like these.
