"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.


some banks give them out for free

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

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


that reassures me that my account is safer with an authenticator. i dont have malware or keyloggers because i know how to use the internet.

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.

the context is that authenticators are 100% hack proof

this is false

you're splitting hairs. nothing is 100% hack proof.

and the autheticator can't prevent human stupidity.

There has not been any proof of this
If this was the case much much more people would be getting hacked
Its not that hard to do


why would there be proof on a method that is very much a private hackquisition of items
I just invented the term hackquisition and nobody else is allowed to use it.

It is merely stated that your chances of being compromised whilst having an authenticator are very small, nowhere was it stated that you are 100% safe from a compromise.

People are posting that no one with an authenticator got hacked. And i'm showing proof that it has happened and is possible.
