Chess.com account keeps getting hacked?
So had a chess.com account for a good few years but then randomly last year I got an email saying that there was a suspicious log in into my account in a city quite far from mine. Then, about 3 minutes later I got another from a different city (this one was London). I ended up just deleting my account because I didn’t want to risk them getting a hold of my email. I made a new account shortly after, pretty much the same username. I made sure my password was very strong this time. I played on this account for a few months, had no issues, took a break and started playing again. Then, the EXACT same thing happened again. I got an email for suspicious log in from the exact same city the first time and then a few mins later, a suspicious log in from London- the exact same order that the first happened in. Is this a mistake or is my account being targeted.
