      My Ubisoft account *********************** was hacked, mainly due to their negligent 'security' implementations. It has now been 5 days since I submitted a ticket and I have received NOTHING. I have filed 2 tickets, neither have been answered. There is no way to contact them outside of their worthless ticket system and while I wait, heaven only knows what whoever has my account is doing to it (deleting characters etc). I have read horror stories about Ubisoft's customer service and I'm sure their 'F' rating is very well deserved. Many people say they have waited over 20 days to get a reply and if they don't respond within 48 hours, the ticket is closed and you have to start the whole process again.If they are going to sell products that require you to be online, thus exposing you to the deluge of 'people' who are endlessly trying to steal other people's property, virtual or otherwise, then you have to provide expeditious recourse when things go wrong. By this logic, their products are not fit for purpose and they should prevented from selling them until their inability to remedy these issues is ********* be quite honest, I hope they go bankrupt, this whole experience has been quite annoying and stressful to say the least. I should point out that I have thousands of dollars worth of games tied to that account that I cannot access as a direct result of their negligent business practices.Thank you

      They have resolved the problem, I will admit the waiting was a little concerning but the account has been returned, they did solve it very quickly when they got to my ticket. I understand that there is a lot of this stuff going on and I'm not the only one with a problem, but these incidents are extremely annoying and stressful. Thanks to the BBB for helping me out and to Ubisoft for dealing with this as quickly as possible. Just as an aside, I did send two separate tickets to Ubisoft concerning this, so please disregard the second one as the problem has been fully resolved.

      Thank you again.

      This is Unacceptable, I buy a video game, pay a full price for it and with a special intention to play a certain part of this game, yet, this company basically nullifies my purchase by locking me out of the one thing i have made my purchase intended for. I did try to contact Ubisoft support, but they are basically ignoring my request and straight up tell me to deal with it myself, wich i cannot do as the problem is concerning me not being able to add a phone number! this is basically scamming me out of my money, by simply not letting me play what i paid for.Shameful!

      Hello,

      Thank you for your update!

      I see you had read online that Ubisoft Support could manually override the error for your phone number to add it for you despite the warning of it being flagged as suspicious.  Sadly, this is not true as Ubisoft Support has no ability to override this error, or manually add phone numbers to accounts. 

      What is possible is the removal of a phone number from one account so that it can be added to another, so if your issue is that the number you'd like to use is tied up with another account please do contact Support.

      However, as I can see that in your case the issue is related to an error when adding, please note that there is not any alternative Support can offer for this besides to try another phone number or at another time.

      Please let us know if you have any questions!

      Best regards,

      Someone gained access and hacked my Ubisoft account and ********************** refuses to help me regain access. I no longer have access to the account or the games that I paid for. More details below:I received an e-mail from Ubisoft saying there was a "New login location detected with my Ubisoft account". The location was in ******. The e-mail stated I should change the password to my account. I changed the password to my account, but whoever logged in from ****** set up 2 Factor Authentication and I can no longer log into my account to access the games that I purchased. I reached out to Ubisoft to help recover my account, but they are refusing to help me and will not give me any explanation as to why they will not. My case number with them is ********.

      Good Morning,Very recently I had all of my accounts breached. Unfortunately, I lost many accounts, including my ********************** account of course. I have blatant evidence of my account being hijacked yet Ubisoft is being stubborn. I have spent years on my account and they are refusing to help me due to asking me to verify. However, I CANNOT verify with 2FA because my information was changed and I obviously have proof of that. What I have attached below is proof of my password being reset on my email, and my 2FA codes which dont work. I showed the 2FA codes because it proves it was changed. I have also attached an email below from a college I have an email for. The email entails that malware was detected on my desktop, which proves someone easily could have been stealing my data.

      Hello,Recently, I signed into my Ubisoft account in order to try and get a re-sync of the data from my Xbox to my Ubisoft account, since my previous one was hacked and I guess they unlinked my Xbox. ********************** is the email of that account.When checking out the cases on my account, I came across a case (********) that I never saw regarding my old account that was hacked, and it asks what email I would like to use for it. However, I can't respond directly to the case because of extended inactivity (as seen in the uploaded images). So, like any logical person, I made a new case, referenced the case number, and told them the new email I would like to use for the account. To my surprise, I was constantly told to respond directly to the case, which I can't! Despite uploading even a screen recording (uploaded to case ********) showing that I couldn't respond to the case, I was just met with constant templates denying me recovery.Please update the SuperiorTen5333 (e4bfdaaa-3b06-42cd-98b3-960ae108637d) account to ********************** so that I can access it again. This way, everything should be resolved.Thank you,Mik

      My account was stolen because Ubisoft changed my email address for a hacker. I warned them that someone was trying to access my account and they still changed my account information without my consent. The hacker now has access to personal information and has sent me messages, presumably trying to extort money from me to get my account back.

      Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to file a formal complaint against Ubisoft for their failure to address an ongoing security issue with my account. Recently, my ********************** account was compromised by a hacker who gained unauthorized access and used it to cheat in various games.I immediately contacted Ubisoft support, providing all necessary information and documentation to verify my ownership of the account. Despite my repeated attempts to prove that the account is mine, I have been met with unhelpful responses. Ubisofts support team insists that I must provide further proof, despite the fact that I have already submitted sufficient verification details, such as my accounts linked email, transaction history, and account recovery ******************************'s refusal to take action on the matter and their lack of meaningful communication has caused me significant frustration, especially since they have acknowledged the security issues but have not been able to resolve them in a timely manner. As a loyal customer, I expect better treatment and resolution for the unauthorized actions on my account.I respectfully request that the BBB assist me in facilitating a resolution to this matter. My main concerns are:Immediate restoration of my account access.A thorough investigation into the hacking incident.Clear communication from Ubisoft regarding the next steps.I appreciate your time and assistance in addressing this issue.This incedent occurred on Case No ********

      Attempted account recovery with ********************** to recover a lost account with which the email address linked with the account has been deactivated due to inactivity and no longer exists. I filed out their recovery form as well as all the information they asked for in every box. I also have further evidence to prove ownership. It took over a week for a response and when they did respond it was with a failed recovery. They claim that they couldn't prove I am the owner as well as not giving me a chance to dispute the claim using a link that was supposed to be in the email. I have several games linked with the account through Steam and Xbox. I don't know what other information I am supposed to give if the information they asked for isn't enough to prove ownership?

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
