How could someone interject a screen into the app itself? I logged in with my newly-changed password, and the app worked as normal.Īlthough my account seems to be safe now, I'm stumped as to how this happened: I wasn't visiting a web site, I was using an app. I then saw the normal DirecTV login screen, as seen at right, furthering my feelings that the original screen was a scam. (And I use unique passwords for each service, so the one that was probably compromised is useless to the hackers.)īut the bigger question here is what happened and how did it happen?Īfter I changed my password, I returned to the iOS device and tapped OK. That all worked, and I received the email stating I'd changed my password, so I'm pretty sure my account is fine. I immediately opened the DirecTV web site on my Mac, logged in (using my supposedly-locked account and current password), and changed my password.
#Directv app password
As soon as I pressed Enter after entering my password, I'm sure my username and password were sent off to some server somewhere.
I now believed I had been scammed: Somehow, a fake login page was injected where the app would normally display its login screen. That's wrong in many ways-and there's no provided method for contacting an AT&T operator. Not just because it was my first attempted login, but also due to the grammar of that last sentence: But when I entered my user name and password (on the first attempt), I saw the screen to the right…Īt this point, alarm bells went off. On launch, I saw a login screen that looked slightly different than usual the app had been updated recently, so I assumed it was the new login screen. This morning, I launched the DirecTV app on my iPhone (connected to my home network via wifi).
