Hmm, somebody just hacked my Uplay account while I was playing Far Cry 3. Then Far Cry 3 kicked me out of the game.

Damm , man that suxks big time, now im prompted to change my passwords , AGAIN!

I was watching a local TV show last month and they were talking about online passwords. Apparently it takes only a few minutes to crack a password containing only letters an numbers. Your password should be long and contain many symbols. Example: Hi483rA!(bXEf#377G%d$[@Sl People using passwords like 12345 are just begging for their accounts to get hacked. There are free programs online that can generate and keep passwords for you.

I think I will use random passwords with 20 characters in future. Then I have to keep them in KeePass.

Bummer.. It is so unnecesary and sad when it happens. I hope you can sort it out.

Sorry to hear, brudda. Let us know how Ubisoft treats you on this matter.

@Thor the mighty

my password was quite complicated. No idea how anyone can guess it. Now somebody tried to get into my Amazon.com account. Good thing that I use different passwords for different security levels.

I changed my Uplay password. Everything seems to work. So the next days I will replace ALL my passwords. :(

Fabian, sure sounds like you've got a keylogger infecting your system.

Comment by Fabian Winkler on December 13, 2012 at 2:45am

I don't think so. I just reinstalled Windows 4 days ago

I'm using Avast internet security. It has a safe zone browser. Basically even if you have a keylogger on your system,it can't detect any password or other sensitive data you write within the safe zone browser. Also i'm not sure if keyloggers can detect what you type on virtual keyboards.

Summer Is Upon Us...Most Anticipated Games

Hey fellow Axeheads! It's been a looooong time since I posted a blog, but now that summer is right around the corner, I wanted to take the time and talk about my most anticipated games between the months of June and September. Here are the top 3 games I'm interested in this summer:

3. GTA V (September 17)

To close out the summer, Rockstar is bringing us my number 3 most anticipated game, GTA V. You might ask, why is this game only at the number 3 spot on the list? Well…

From Rags to Riches – Game Dev Tycoon

When I was growing up, I remember playing alot of simulation games where you’d create either a hospital, a theme park, a zoo, you name it there was a `Tycoon` game for it. Now a new indie game has come out of the wood work and brought back such fun memories of said childhood. This is Game Dev Tycoon.Image

I'm Making A Game

Actually that's been the plan for a while now I just failed to mention it here before. I did type up a development document, track down freeware programs to make it and finished the concept art work. Then I spent the last four months doing nothing. I recently came to the conclusion that my idea, while interesting, was waaaay too ambitious a project for me to undertake right now. I hope to revisit the idea sometime in the future but for now it's very much in storage.

So why bring this…
