I am still not quite convinced.

The obvious Blizzard post: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4309703662

They still claim no accounts with authenticators have been compromised, and until my authenticator protected account suffers such a fate, I will continue to believe so.

It is also extremely easy for a knowledgable person to create a realistic "clone" of a website, and people can enter their information without realizing it, believing that they are actually on a Blizzard website. This crap happens all of the time on WoW, and people always blame it on hackers.

Furthermore, I guarantee a lot of the massive influx of D3 players have not touched a Blizzard game in many years, and so are not aware of the literally hundreds of fake Blizzard clone sites. Even the slightest typo when typing in a Blizzard web address can take you to one of these, and you would hardly notice.

Until I see undeniable proof, these "hackers" are no more real than the "hackers" so many WoW players complain about.

Get an authenticator. Seriously. Do it. You can even get the app for free on any modern phone.


I get dozens of wow/starcraft/runescape/blahblah 'your account has been compromised' emails every month.. wouldn't surprise me if that was part of the problem, but it seems much bigger than that. Although another interesting theory is that somebody could have slipped a keylogger into a copy of d3advanced and posted it on a website on reddit and is now lulzing at the masses of people who think that Blizzard failed.

and your trying to blame us because of THEIR servers being compromised

once you get hacked and you realize its not a keylogger/any kinda bullshit like that

you know its not your fault.

unless of course using the AH/playing the game is my fault then yes its my fault I got hacked for playing a game I spent 64$ on and gas to go pick it up.


Once again, there is absolutely no proof as of yet that their servers are compromised. Forums are full of people claiming to be "hacked," all of whom do not have authenticators. Furthermore, if you ask any individual if they did any wrong in the matter, of course they will claim innocence. It is always the other guy's fault when you get into trouble.

Once again: if I see undeniable proof that people with authenticators on their accounts are having their accounts compromised, I will believe that Blizzard's servers have been compromised as well. Until then, I blame human error entirely.

The authenticators are there to PREVENT human error. I have had an authenticator since they were first released for WoW, because I take my security seriously, and nobody is immune to human error. Unless you took full precautions before being "hacked", you cannot point fingers at anyone else but yourself.

Authenticator? If no, irrelevant.

"your account is being used by another computer"

"your login infomation is incorrect"

I know nothing about Blizzard's servers, but if that really was the nature of how you were "hacked," it even sounds like someone just logged in using your account information.

Because they don't give a shit about your WoW garbage.. if you're going to run a massive gold stealing operation, you're not gonna jump between games. If you hadn't regained control of your account they'd probably be back for your magical dubloons or whatever the hell you mmorpg tards trade with.. its just more efficient to pilfer D3.

(I don't really know, I'm talking out of my ass, but its a good hypothesis)

Talking out your ass now. Seriously. If you don't have an authenticator, your "proof" is not worth my time.

The action is likely being done by a botnet of sorts, and depending on the complexity of said bots, they may only be using the logins to directly log into Diablo 3 to clean characters, and not checking the content of the accounts themselves.

People running an operation of this sort generally don't do so by hand.

I was being insightful, read the actual post, it makes sense.
