The only proof Blizzard has so far is their word that no one with an authenticator has been hacked . IMO if there is in fact an exploit Blizzard would not admit to it until they have it fixed. Why would they say Hey there is an exploit we are trying to fix it but for the time being get an authenticator . Yet their only comments have been it's not our fault it's yours so buy our authenticator .We don't make a dime on it. Ya right in todays day and age to say it costs them 6.50 for a random number generator is total propaganda on their part . It costs nothing to make one look at all the random junk in a store like walmart 3 bucks to for a lazer pointer not to make it but to buy it. Simple electronic devices cost NOTHING TO MAKE in todays day and age simple fact.

Here's a blizzard post saying you can get hacked through an authenticator

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5149542352#6


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


Do not see anything D3 related there

I refer to my other post again:

"Also, why is blizzard rolling back all of these characters (like my brothers) without requiring the user to do malware scans etc like they have every other game?

Because they know exactly why its happening.. "


You get an email with 3 steps telling you to
Secure your computer
Secure your login
and warnings about phishing sites etc.

If you take the time to read through that post, the Moderators are saying the only ones hacked with autheticators are the ones buying gold from third parties.

"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."

Get one, reduces chances of being hacked by A LOT. stop whining.

Explain your logic here?

All Anti virus should be free?

Because its the computer manufactures fault that you put your info into emails saying you had a lost relative in Africa whos will left you 1,000,000,000 zimbabwe dollars?

So because WoW authenticators can be hacked D3 authenticators are 100% hack proof?

Yeah so if you have an authenticator you can still get hacked. The argument by Blizzard and fanbois is authenticators will make it so you never get hacked. This is clearly not the case.

Pulling out of context. Those who had the authenticators and were hacked had various backdoor programs, malwares, and file-sharing programs on their systems, and thus lead to them being compromised whilst having an authenticator. Then Blizzard later states that those who claim to be hacked on Diablo 3 & have an authenticator, didn't actually have one.

And it's blizzard fault that you get mails from like:

Accountverification@Blizzard.com

"Blablablablabla...............................................................................Your account has been compromised, please reply with your password or download this file so we can identify that you are the owner of the account"

There are alot of idiots falling for those.
