I just received this mail, apparently someone tried to access my account using my username AND password.
It's not the first time it happens - the last being about 1 year ago - even though I had "fresh" and complex passwords that I hadn't used anywhere else.
You might be thinking I have a keylogger or other malware... for several months I've been on a legit Windows 10 installation with 0 pirated software.
I haven't played on Warmane / logged in this website in ages, more than one year I think, and the interesting thing is that my last password (that I just changed) was one obtained through Warmane account recovery: it was autogenerated gibberish...
So I really have no idea how somebody could use that password... anybody else having this issue?
It's worth noting I haven't had problems with any other game/service/account.

It has happened to a few of my accounts. All of them had passwords that I have not used elsewhere but it has happened only with accounts that had the same password on Molten, before the database was stolen. So my guess was that someone has obtained passwords from the old Molten database but that doesn't seem to match your case if you reset your password when it was already Warmane.

Sorry for replying on such an old Thread, but i am also getting emails of"acess from new browser or location" pretty often the past few days.
I haven't played for couple of months, and even my password is pretty hard to randomly achieve.
Is Warmane not safe anymore?
I got some IP's (not sure if it is allowed to post them, but if not: feel free to delete them) .. hope you can ban these IP's, so they are not able to attack accounts anymore:
91.205.147.248 (from russia)
73.72.193.111 (italy)

already did twice in the past 12-14 months. The Question is: how do these people know about these passwords? And i bet i am not the only one. I am not even using any "weird" third party applications on my computer, weather surfing on any fully virus and add-bombed websites...
