Guh, the hackers are really hitting hard lately. I've lost count of all the people from this forum alone that have had their account taken. :(

Keep trying to get to Blizzard, you'll be put through eventually. Hope everything works out for you!

hate to say it, but: because YOU did not put an authenticator on your account, you gave someone ELSE the chance to do it first.

A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"
Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis
I love pets - combat or non.

I know it's blunt, but I sort of have to agree. Authenticators are such a huge step in account security. Especially with all these recent hackings I highly recommend everyone getting one. The peace of mind from having one is just a big weight off your shoulders.

You can pay by PayPal too. Most respectable gameshops have a stash too. Some give them out for free if you buy your game from them.

I also exist on DeviantArt.

So many people have gotten hacked lately. I hope Blizz is able to combat this problem in some way or all those new players who arrive for cataclysm are just going to be like a feast for these malicious account thieves.

I hope you're able to get yours back soon. :hug:
