Hows this for luck my account was hacked Yesterday morning some asian guy who cant speak a word of English and y he did it I dont know yet cause it doesnt seem like he sold any of my gear he did take stuff from the guild bank what he did with it I dont know yet because u cant sell it u have to put it in the AH great luck I have.
 
Is it because your password wasn't long and encrypted enough or did you click on a keylogger? :p

I'm always scared they hack my account as our guild bank is full of stuff and I have full access to it all :eek: They won't get much gold from my toons though ^^
 
and its because you didnt up your software or flash when you where told, and you visited a dodgy website, and its because you are careless. simple as that.

People they cannot hack your account. if you are careless with what sites you go to, or links you click then you will get issues.
 
I dont visit dodgy websites dont have the bandwith for that stay away from the buy gold here and powerlevelling sites. How he got hold of my password which I would say is about medium integrity letters with symbol and numbers is beyond me I am very careful when it comes to security and what websites I visit

Sure you're not him? :)

Its unlikely he guessed your password.

You can get keyloggers from anywhere - an innocent link on your Guild Website, an email attachment, copying files from a friends PC.. anywhere.

Best practices are to have uptodate anti-virus and change your password once a month; saving it in notepad to copy+paste instead of typing it in yourself.
 
Lol must have got a key logger from somewhere then is the only way I can think of how he got my password
 
Related note...

a level 1 named <ourguildleader>bank asks for an invite, and proceeds to start whispering us for 1k gp each. A couple guys thought it was really our Guild leader and sent it the money. It then started cleaning our gbank (we're in a raiding guild, so we all have access to everything for raids), once we realised we'd lost 30,000gp from the bank, every officer spent the next several hours cleaning the bank so the intruder couldn't... scary stuff :eek: be careful who you trust in WoW
 
i change my password weekly, and im also getting one of those blizard authenticator key chains.
 
they work with your blizzard account they are not bound by country, thou the US and EU algorithms for number generation might be different.
 
Where can one buy these authenticator tokens? Blizzard's online store says "coming soon", but in the same breath "Sold out"...
 
I use a g15, and i have my password saved onto a macro. Will this be the same as a copy paste from a txt file?

Dude. I also want one of these for EU..Where can you get it from? If it's possible can I do a bank transfer to you and you can get one for me as well? :D
