My buddy on Steam just told me about this.

I've changed my password.

I don't play their games as much anymore but changed it just the same.

Blizzards gakky online security take another hit..... not surprised in the least

Well at least this time they didn't plug their fingers in their ears and say "no, that's impossible! Get an authenticator you cheap consumers we want more money!"

Hmm seems to be an American server thing. I'm guessing I should be safe. Even though I don't play Wow any more which tbh is all that the Chinese farmers are interested in. If they go out of their way to actually resubscribe an account then I would be surprised.

Just a note for any EU folks out there, it seems they may have got our emails as well.

So I'll be changing mine shortly, as I don't want the hassle of restarting my account. They won't get past the authenticator, but they can get a account temp closed requiring a Battlenet login, for too many login attempts. Hmm, I had a unique email for wow, seems I need a new one.

Blizzard seriously. Get some proper security.

Oh my how unexpected
