Default Re: Stars account hacked

Would the following scenario be possible ? :

- Hacker knows your screenname
- Hacker hacks your mailaccount which is regged with stars
- Hacker tries to login to stars, selects "i forgot my password", and enters your hacked mailadress. Note: This only works if the hacker knows your ZIP-Code (which is easy to get), and your Street-Address, which is not so easy....
- Hacker gets sent a new PW to your mailadress (which he has access to)
- Hacker logs into stars, and changes your email-adress
- Hacker steals ur moneys

Would it be possible that this was done by somebody who knows you (at least knows you good enough to know your street address) ?
