Blizzard hacked

[Bagnaj97]

Just a quick heads up, nothing to be overly concerned about just yet though.

From the article:

What data was affected?
Here's a summary of the data that we know was illegally accessed:

North American-based accounts, including players from Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia:

Email addresses
Answers to secret security questions
Cryptographically scrambled versions of passwords (not actual passwords)
Information associated with the Mobile Authenticator
Information associated with the Dial-in Authenticator
Information associated with Phone Lock, a security system associated with Taiwan accounts only


Accounts from all global regions outside of China (including Europe and Russia):

Email addresses


China-based accounts:

Unaffected


At this time, there’s no evidence that financial information of any kind has been accessed. This includes credit cards, billing addresses, names, or other payment information.

Luckily the debit card I used for WoW has no money on it!

Balls I really haven't been been up on the news and haven't played Diablo III since I completed it a couple of weeks back. Just noticed that I got an email stating that someone has changed the email address of the account. As such I cant log in to change/remove details or passwords. Going to have a look through the support, but anyone know the best thing to do now? Anyone else been compromised?

That must be unrelated since EU accounts weren't hacked, only the US ones, they only have your email address, not password or other data.

But check the email isn't a spoof.

Email was definitely changed, as I couldn't log into the account to go through any of the security changes screens etc. Called the support line and spoke to someone at Blizzard who said that it had definitely been changed, so confirmed a few things and then it was all reset, so I've gone through and changed a number of things, and added authenticators etc. Bit worrying, but good thing that password wasn't one that was used anywhere else. Oh well, hope its all well in the end...
