I got an email from a site called rbnhd from a guy called robin who lets people know they have bee hacked
I googled my email address and my origin and uplay accounts was freely available on site called lolzteam. I have since changed my password.
Has uplay done anything about this?

While I will pass this on to the security team to make sure, we don't have any indication that our systems have been breached. We would strongly recommend that you change the email address on your account and use a unique password for each service, you may also wish to setup two step verification on your account as an additional layer of security. Check the guide here on how to set it up.

I really think it best that anyone who enters their email into forums or ecommerce sites should later check if it has been hacked. Sometimes it's simply the fault of the email provider not to provide adequate security. There's some info here that everyone should check out: https://www.1and1.com/digitalguide/e...eal-the-truth/
But for a quick summary, you can enter your email into a special search engine, which will then let you know if that address has been linked to any major hacks or data breaches. I saw that my email had been! So I quickly removed the account and made a new one.
