tl;dr: My massdrop account was hacked. Email, password and address changed. Might be a good idea to check yours.
With SA Oblivion currently running, I decided to jump in, unfortunately I wasn't able to access my account due to my email address no longer accessing a MassDrop account.
I checked my email history and saw that in early September, I received two emails from Massdrop saying that my email was changed. A corresponding password change email was sent to me as well.
The email it was changed to was: vladsevostyanov3@gmail.com
I contacted MassDrop last week and have since gotten in touch with a representative. As of this post, I have still not received access to my account with the same email.
Fortunately, I discovered that my phone is perpetually logged into my MassDrop account. I was able to access my old account through it and noticed that in account settings, a "NEW" address was added. It used my same exact name, but the address was:
600 Markley St, Port Reading, NJ 07064
Google search reveals this to be involved in other related "scams":

Some quick research from that location reveals it to be Meest America Inc. They are apparently a "delivery/fulfillment service".
http://meest.us/pro_nas.htmlI suppose I could give them a call and give them a "friendly" but stern talking to lol.
Regardless, if this turns out to be a legit business that MassDrop is partnering with, I see no reason why my account settings were tampered with. I can possibly understand an address change to facilitate "faster delivery", but changing my email reeks of scam.
Anyway I would highly recommend everyone who is in the MassDrop ecosystem to just check their account. Verify things are as it should be, and please change your password if it's a fairly weak one.
