Obviously someone else know correct loginID + password
First secure your PC : start with total scan to be sure you are malware / viruses free and your PC is safe to be used ( my personal choice is kaspersky rescue disk, a free to use bootable iso image), then back on windows you may use a windows antivirus, malware scan ..etc to chek again / OR just clean install windwos if are too many infections, is desirable to format all storage if is possible (be sure you back-up all important data to an external device) to be sure nothing suspicious remain.
Then secure all your emails ( change passwords, add security checks or 2FA if supported ..etc )
1. Recover your account :- reset password using "Forgot Your Password" link : https://www.z8games.com/lost_id_password.html
- In case will say account is unavailabe to recover means the registered email was changed, in that case the only remaining option is to send a support ticket -> account recovery ( provide required info and support will change registered email so you can reset password using a new email )
- Secure the game account: change the password using a strong one ( don't use your usual passwords as those may be leakead ) AND be sure you store the password somewhere safe ( but no inside your PC , as in case of an infection it can be leakead again ).
- Website now have a 2-Step Verification option , you can enable-it and and no one can login website and change password widhout the verification code. See more here about 2-Step Verification : https://support.z8games.com/us/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/318/1/2-step-verification
BUT in case you will loose the phone, or uninstall app then you need to send a support ticket to remove-it - Don't fall for scammers : https://support.z8games.com/us/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/258/2/dont-fall-for-scammers
