That\u2019s how seriously they\u2019re taking account security these days.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Oh, hang on, perhaps not. EA has opened up registration for its FIFA 20 Global Series eSports competition, only they\u2019ve accidentally pre-populated the sign-up page with the personal details of players who\u2019ve already done so. Is Electronic Arts a company we should be trusting with our personal information or not, we really can\u2019t tell now.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>EA\u2019s sign-up form was accidentally dishing out the details of random accounts, including email addresses, Origin IDs, dates of birth, country of residence, and any console accounts linked. Good job EA.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">My friend got a big pull in the Data Breach pack, Hashtag&#8217;s own Algerian Arrow, @YaniOurabah.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll send you a birthday card.<\/p>\n<p>What a mess. pic.twitter.com\/IYMT1ieq4g<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 George Hughes (@GeorgeHughes) October 3, 2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle scrolling-ad-item\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0052787453283862\" data-ad-slot=\"2741061911\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>While it seems fairly scatter-gun whose details were shared, there are reports from amateur players as well as high-profile FIFA eSports professionals who\u2019ve had sensitive data leaked.<\/p>\n<p>For their part, EA has taken down the FIFA 20 Global Series sign-up page while they investigate the issue.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe&#8217;re aware of a potential issue affecting the registration page for the EA SPORTS FIFA 20 Global Series that went live earlier today,\u201d<\/em> wrote EA Sports FIFA\u2019s Twitter account.<em> \u201cWe take these matters seriously, and we immediately took down the page while we investigate the matter.\u00a0 We&#8217;ll share updates as soon as possible.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We are now acutely aware of just why EA is so invested in everyone signing up for two-factor authentication. The systems are broken so every barrier you can put up between your data and other users is probably a good thing. It won&#8217;t do anything to help with cock-ups like this but you can never have too much cybersecurity.<\/p>\n<p>It therefore comes heartily recommended you take advantage of EA;s Login Verification deal. From now until the end of October, you get a free month of Origin Access Basic for adding 2FA. This includes access to games like Anthem, Battlefield V, Burnout Paradise Remastered, and Madden NFL 19. Add 2FA and you\u2019ll get your free month of Origin Access from November 1st, 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FIFA 20 Can I Run It?
