Ok so for the past week or so my Origin (EA) account has had it's password changed and no matter how many times I reset it and put a different password in, I get another email saying the password has been changed.

EA in there usual helpful self say that the problem is my end - I have been compromised they say.

I use a hotmail account with this origin account. I use the mac mail client locally on my Mac and also the hotmail account is on my iPhone.

I have changed my email password as well.

I haven't accessed my emails from any other machine apart from my phone or my mac. Nor have I accessed the origin website from any other machine.

I only use Safari.

While I am not sure it is related but every so often the mail client pops up a box saying it can't connect to the hotmail servers and asks me to enter my password in. The box already has my password entered so I just normally click ok and that's that.

So how is my origin account still being hacked?? Are they hacking my emails?? I don't think so but I can't see another way they can.

So yeah any ideas MacRumors?
