So an hour ago I ended up checking my email when I noticed that I was charged $59.99 for a game that I didn't buy; the game in question is FIFA 15. I'm not sure how you all would react to this but at the moment I'm a tiny bit freaked out. A year or two ago I posted on these forums that my bank account was almost drained by some person right before my eyes. Luckily I got my money back and began to vigilantly keep an eye on my money to make sure I won't get blindsided by stuff like that again.
Well, now it seems to be happening in a more manageable scale with my credit card. I called Chase and told them about the charge and they told me that they couldn't dispute the charge until it went through (charges are still pending), so here I am, wide awake at 2 a.m.
I've noticed attempts to get into my email (hotmail) account from other countries (unsuccessfully) and I ended up having to change my password, which is kind of hard for me to do since I don't write them down. Currently I received an email that someone tried to access my Cryptic account from another computer and I haven't logged on to that thing in months. Anyone out there know of a reliable free program or something that can randomly generate passwords and stuff? Also, if you guys have any further advice on what I can do to keep my shit secure I'd really appreciate it.
For the record, I've changed my passwords and regularly scan my PC so I feel like I'm backed up against a wall on what I can do to keep my things safer.
