Yoo all ..
Yeh, as the topic says.
Some idiot has hacked my account and i spoke to blizzard earlier.
They said there is some issues getting it back, since it got hacked in a new way they are not used to deal with. So they are invenstigating on my acc, how they hacked it.
..
daMn awfull
Oh well, would just notify it. Hope ill be online soon :S
-
Some idiot made it possible!
Good luck with getting it back.
-
Can we require authenticators for PVPers yet, Therash?
-
Some idiot made it possible!
which is obviously Blizzard :)
good luck getting it back man
-
I'm okay with it, but it'll be a slow and whiny change.
Top of my priorities right now is getting all those damn PvErs out of my precious PvPer list :(
-
Well, if you get your gladiators to use authenticators, then the lame PVErs without authenticators won't be able to use Gladiator rank!
-
I do have a authenticator on.
Blizzard told me, that my authenticator got removed, thats why they could hack it. Or something like it :S ..
:(
-
They would have to get past the authenticator.. twice!
-
So, I dc:d last night and tried logging in directly after with my mobile broadband. Boom, account frozen due to suspicious activity (guessing the multiple ip adresses). Easy thing to get the account back up but still good to see that blizzard improved security.
At the same time i checked the removed autenticator thing and you don't only need to know your account name, real name, give autenticator code out twice, they also changed so that you need to send a picture of your ID.
So it should be pretty much impossible for anyone to remove your autenticator
-
To remove it they need some of your ID, I think?
-
Aye... so have a think about who could have done it, Mutli.
-
You need to use the authenticator to log into battle.net and then use it again to have it removed.
-
They changed it sky, you also need ID now
-
Its amazing the lengths hackers will go to get to your account. however if the need your token 2 times and an ID the hacker is in the ner vicinity of your own environment or you pc has been totally taken over and you happen to have a scanned ID on that pc as well...but that would mean you ahve no antivirus or default windows (if it is windows) settings turned on.
Either way I would just ensure you have a hard firewall (hardware) as well, nowadays they are quite cheap and easy to configure (for non technical people) you cna get one for as cheap as 10 euro.
I got hacked like 3 or 4 years ago as well but had no authenticator then, now I do on both accounts (physical ones mind you..not the i-phone app or something like that) and have not had problems since (I did also install the firewall and basically ignore even the real blizz mails.
Either way the best thing to get it sorted is by getting to talk with someone (if they still have that service at blizz)i remember having issue witht hat as well but once i talked to someone real time it got sorted quite quick.(i called a number in France back then...can try to look it up for you if you need)
-
Alternative, simpler option is that he removed his authenticator himself, but realises how silly it'd make him look.

They changed it sky, you also need ID now
Yarr, when I had to remove my authenticator because my Android got slightly fucked, I had to send them a picture of my drivers license. I sent it from a different laptop (my safe pc where I never do any monkey business), but if hackers got a hold of that picture..! :O
