Email Hacked
Recently my wife's virgin media (ntlworld.com) email was hacked. Obviously the first thing I did was changed the password. However since then some miscreant has set-up accounts on 2 games platforms using my wife's email address. I myself then accessed these platforms and changed the passwords and set-up 2FA. Then closed the accounts. Next thing I know, the miscreant has managed to somehow intercept the OTP sent by one of the platforms and cancel the "cancellation" and reset the password. I have again changed the password to my wife's email, reset the password on the affected games platform and re-issued the cancel instruction. Can someone explain to me how the hacker is able to intercept the OTP codes sent by the games platform?
