(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Some good news for Fifa fans it seems for once. Because of the security breaches by phishing sites trying to steal your Ultimate Team information, it seems as though EA have taken a step against this, by adding in a new security question.

You will need to provide the answer:

After 30 days of inactivity
When signing on on another device
When signing in on a different browser

This should mean that hackers will be required to know your security answer.

If you want to avoid this, you can do the following:

Create a text file with a random chunk of text:

ekfhnefsjhb

and then use that as your security answer, and just open the text document when you need to know it.

This could be a very important day in the future of Fifa Ultimate Team Smile

This won't do **** to stop all the spam you get in Team Play lobbies though, the ones asking to duplicate your players with proof etc blah blah blah, all so f*cking annoying. There needs to be a way of reporting actual XBL messages to EA, to get those f*ckers banned and scare others away from doing it!

This could help a little bit but as said above phishing sites will just ask for the security question password.

Not really, if you are asked to type in your details fair enough, but if someone came up to you asking for your mothers maiden name, wouldn't you be suspicious? :confused:
