EA reset my password?

[Phatzy]

EA apparently sent me a e-mail stating they had to reset my origin password.
But I can log in with my current password fine.
Have any of you lot had this e-mail.

Here is the e-mail.

It seems legit but the copy/pasted links might not be the actual ones you get sent to because you can disguise a url with html
like this link says
www.google.co.uk
but sends you to the overclockers.co.uk website if you click it

If you hover your cursor over the link you can see the real place its linking to at the bottom of your browser/email client

The odds are the links in your email will send you to a website that looks like origin but the address will not be the real one, you click reset password/try to login and they steal your info

Still wondering why almost every single email client/webmail does its best to hide full headers away - just looking at the originating IP/domain there is usually enough to know if its from the supposed source or not.

ive had the email, changed the pw (it only asked for a new one anyway)

a few hours later i got a confirmation through from them that it was changed successfully and ive not had any more emails about it

Well I didn't click on link due the reason of a chance of a bogus link, So I changed my password via origin.
