zzz the sticky that had this info disappeared

Im pretty sure what happened in wow was the same problem, users getting hacked cuz not a healthy computer or ez as fuck password... Thats the exact same problem blizzard is not hiding it.

Trolling is suposed to make people laugh, i see no laugh in all the crap posted here the last few days.

what he said


we (this topic, blizzard on the d3 forums etc), are talking about d3, not wow. if it happened before, w/e, but we are talking about d3 now.

I'll simply take Sm0kInW33d's suggestion and not play public games for the time being, until the issue(s) is "patched".

Im laughing at how people take blizzards blue posts as seriously as if god told them himself.

Im laughing at all of you trolls/haters/nolifers what have nothing else to do than bash this great game. You remind me of goomshill who bashed the game since before the release but didnt actually own the game.

You have a bit more credibility since you play but doesnt change the fact that you are lying and missinforming people. People should just read blizzard statements, thats oblivious.

People are enough dumb to believe they are safe and also believe the crap you post... So only the stupid people believe all this. You included

please link me to a bnet thread.



Then get scammed

What he is bashing is the exploits that has caused all this, not the game. there are other topic's that bash the game, this topic is bashing the fact that its apparently so easy for people to lose all their hard earned gear.

Amabelly, this is from blizzard:

The "hacking" ("compromising" is probably a better word, since no real "hacking" is going on) being seen in D3 is no different than what World of Warcraft players have been seeing for five years or so. The sad thing is, if no one bought game currency (gold, credits, whatever) from these third-party companies, then essentially no account compromises would be occurring. Compromises not done by gold selling companies are very rare indeed. They strip one player to sell to another, because it's much more efficient than "farming" gold. They still farm some of course, but they do it purely with compromised accounts.

Unfortunately, these compromisers make a lot of money off of the practice (because players buy gold) and so they have a lot of resources to use to try to get your password from you directly, or through your computer. Some of their poorly translated phishing e-mails may be laughable, but their trojans, infected websites, etc. are not funny at all.

If you have the physical or mobile authenticator (both of which major banks use and charge $30+ for) the chances of you being compromised are very, very small. I've personally examined the MSInfo files of nearly all of the handful of WoW players who have actually been compromised through an authenticator, and the sheer number of backdoor programs and other malware on their systems has been mind boggling. Probably not coincidentally, these same people were also running a disturbing number of file-sharing and download programs, including ones which are commonly known to not be safe.

Again, compromising game accounts is a big business in some countries. They have people on their payroll who spread false rumors of "hacked through my authenticator" just to try to discourage people from using them. We charge $6.50 for the physical authenticator, because that's exactly what it costs us to make them. The mobile one is free because we don't have to pay a factory to build them. Use them, and enjoy your gaming without someone mucking with your stuff.

I just dont think i can argue with you anymore. I have nothing to gain, i am still playing the game, and havent been "hacked"

edit:

but i still continue to inform others... why do you insist they put themselves at risk by joining public games? Does it really hurt them to NOT join public games for a while?

I think you are doing more harm than I could possibly do..
