Reckon (yeah yeah I know) EA will do anything, maybe giv eyou some free premium time or some compensation?

I might try my luck and have a moan at them, you never know.

Seems my EA account got hacked today, coinsidence?

EDIT: No actually it didnt, or at least I am not 100% sure.

Seems I got a text message on my phone, it was in russian but think it was the russian version of a password reset code from EA.

Although Ive just logged into origin and seems normal.

Very odd.

i think it would be very wise for all origin account holders to update passwords just in case, espesially if you have card details saved for easy purchses, that would be asking for trouble

Yes I did already, and yes that is good advice.
