I r guy who gun to teach u lesson

A while back I was getting emails from steam giving me verification emails for logging into a different computer (I was just getting spammed with them). I was able to take the newest one and log in, then change my password. They stopped coming, all was well.

Yesterday, I came onto my computer to discover that my steam password was changed. When I sent a change password request to my email it was never received, leaving me to believe someone got into my email, and was able to change my steam password and get in. I changed my steam, but I completely forgot to change my email password, so they were able to change it. Then they changed the email for the account so I couldn't get in(I've contacted Steam support, hopefully that will be resolved.)

Anyway, I created an Origin account a long time ago (I don't even have origin anymore) and today I just received an email to my email address for changing my origin password, when I did not request it? What??

Does this sound like someone found out my password and are trying to get into all my stuff or is there a virus on my computer (I've run scans and it says nothing)? Should I be worried or just change all my passwords and this should go away (I did change all my passwords anyway). I mean, (if its a person) the person was trying to get my steam a few months ago, are they really this persistent? I am generally nice, I don't think I'd make anyone this mad to keep trying and trying.

Anyway, what I am trying to say is:
Is this a random person or a virus?

Someone has gotten a hold of your account information, and is using it to lock you out, probably in hopes of stealing credit card information. Your best bet is to take a serious course of action to prevent anything else from happening, as per whatever Steam will want you to do. In fact, I would suggest disbanding the account altogether.

I don't have credit card stuff on it thankfully, only games. So nothing to be stolen there. Won't deleting it get rid of all my games...?
