My thoughts exactly. I'm just tired of hacking incursion after hacking incursion...Yureina said:Ugh....
I'm getting really sick of these hackers. Someone needs to end these people.

I feel bad my North American brothers, and hope that nothing of significant value can be stolen.
Also, this has very little to do with Diablo 3 directly, the issue is with Battle.net as a whole, so if those few folks could come down off their high horses, that'd be lovely.

You mean... what this topic is about?cursedseishi said:
Now that Blizzard knows it's worth bothering you about, they're sending you an email informing you that it might be a good idea to update your security information.
What aggravates me the most about this is that I had an e-mail account set up that was only tied to my bnet account so as to have a fool proof way of never falling victim to those phishing e-mails. (not that I ever would since they're all laughably fake) Now I have to go through the trouble of setting up a new one in anticipation of the high volumes of spam about to flood my previously pristine inbox.
This was bound to happen eventually though. The odds were just stacked against them that eventually one of the many hackers trying to get in would find a hole just big enough to fuck everyone over. Sad part is they'll never catch who did this and even if they do it will be far too late to prevent them from doing anything with the data.

Reading the headline combined with the picture immediately resulted in a deep voice in my head saying "Hell, it's about time!" XD
Considering things like 100% security, an impenetrable fortress or an unsinkable ship are impossible, this had to happen eventually. I would like to say that Blizz and their policies kinda earned them that sort of attention for good, but unfortunately more friendly companies can be targets as well and the ones on the short end are the users.

Eh, I don't play Blizzard games. Nothing against them, I guess, but I'm just not a PC gamer.
However, I gotta say I'm glad. Hopefully they'll improve their security.
It might be a bit out of topic but I keep getting these emails from Blizzard saying my account was under investigation or something because of botting or scamming or whatever. I don't have a Blizzard account for the reason listed above! I keep trying to reply to them to tell them to gtfo but when I try to do so, it takes me to the official Blizzard customer support page and asks me to login to contact them.
It kind of defeats the purpose, you guys!

My first thought... 'well some guy just got his WoW character liquidated'.
Blizzard's games have lots of money in virtual assets. It a shame to hear about them being hacked, but not surprising. In the same way I'm not surprised when a bank gets robed, I'm not surprised here.

Yes like how their CEO wrote a huge blog, and posted it to every conceiveable means of online communication Blizzard has. Yep, certainly buried.LetalisK said:
Like they just left all the info out in the open.Dendio said:
When something like this happens, why does everyone always assume it's the company's fault?
