You received a login attempt for your Epic account from a Vietnam IP address while you're located in Europe.
I'm experiencing confusion because I have two authentication factors enabled and got a verification code via email. The main concern is that I don't remember a password and instead use my Google account for login.
Someone attempted to access your account, which is not uncommon. Ensure your security measures are strong and relax a bit. I received an email to my Hotmail recently stating, "We know one of your passwords is ________ now give us bitcoin or we'll send your family videos of you beating it."
Hotmail faced several problems earlier today. However, it seems the issue might be related to Google authentication. I don’t share the password with anyone else. It appears there could be a flaw in Epic’s implementation, or perhaps an exploit in Chrome through its extensions or the newest Android version. I only use my account for essential activities.
You mentioned it was an "attempt," I understand. If I go check my email from the bathroom, it seems like someone tried to access it. Did they actually get in, or was it just a login attempt? Many sites use random password guesses hoping something will work, even if their region locks me out. About half of these are automated.
It seems they needed Google's token to generate the code. It’s possible they accessed my account or found a way around Epic’s security. Without the code I didn’t get in, and I don’t see any unusual activity on my Google account.
It's quite unusual. I would reach out to Epic regarding this.
