Account hacked

My friends account has had the beta OS thing happen. She blamed me because I was also playing the game and thought it must of been me, but I told her theirs been reports of this happening and she needs to report it but she wont. Nothing was taken though, so she's not to bothered but I'm not so happy about this, if anything gets deleted or taken I'll be fuming.

Thats what I'm saying i have a couple of limited time items in my town and I don't want them being sold just because someone decides to be a jerk.

I hope they don't go and sell my buildings and limited time stuff because that would really suck...
I got my phone stolen while I was in school a couple of months ago so I think it might be from the person that did that but anything is possible...

If that's true EA should do something because honestly this really sucks. If anything worse happens I might just quit the game all together.

First thing you need to do is change your password, and if you loose a device again you should change passwords to every app/website etc where it may be cached. This is not EAs fault accounts of all sorts get hacked all the time. Make sure you use a strong password and try not to use the same password for all your accounts. I know it is a pain remembering them all but better that than getting something worse than Tapped Out hacked.

Also get Find my iPad/iPhone setup as that is great, you can lock your phone/ipad remotely with that.

I went through all that stuff when my phone was stolen a while ago so I should be good for that. But I just reset my origin/EA password. I did reset it earlier this week that might have had something to do with it. And I did some really outdated survey for the game I found on the troubleshooting part of the EA help section.

I cant possible understand what anyone would have to gain. I mean, its not like they can steal your donuts and send them to another account. They can only waste that stuff and just be malicious while doing it. what a low life

Why would someone hack this game? It's not as if you can sell or transfer the contents to someone else, such as the FIFA series where stolen stuff can be sold on eBay.

So my account got hacked today... I signed on and it told me that there would be unfinished progress on my town because "my other device" was playing with the same town. So when I got back into my town all but 1 of my donuts were wasted and my charcaters had different jobs...

Can anyone at EA help me? If possible I would hope to get some compansation for my donut loss...

are you using this new OS, Beta 7 or what the name was?

EA needs to get on top of this--I see more reports of hijacked towns every day.

Really? Is there any precautions we can take to avoid this from happening?
