Blizzard Authenticator - BUY ONE NOW!

With the purchase you'll get the new core hound pet and protect your account.

I know we've had well over a dozen members now get their accounts hacked.
Members that I know are puter savy too (some not so much).
But, either way, for only $6.50, it's well worth it. They are also offering free shipping to help keep the cost of these down and get more into hands of their customers.

Also, if you have Norton, just stop. I downloaded and ran AVG yesterday and found 3 dangerous files that Norton missed.

you can get AVG for free at free.avg.com

also, Authenticators. Use them

Apparently the WoW authenticator can be hacked.

The short story is a virus intercepts your keycode and xmits an incorrect one. You error out. Meanwhile people behind the virus enter the correct keycode and access your account.

This doesn't mean they are useless, they work very well. It means that there is a threat to this schema and now you know the symptoms.

The hacker still has to enter the legit code generated by your Authenticator in under 1 minute or it expires, but yeah, nothing is fool proof. Blizzard never claimed it was.

Mine is on order. I am actually pretty security crazy where my computers are concerned and am still not positive how they got into my account. I am thinking they may have hacked my gmail account and sent a change password request. I had no virus/worm/trojan on my system. All of my add-ons are mainstream and hadn't used any new ones lately. Ran complete scans of my machine after it happened and found nothing. So if you have an I-phone I highly suggest getting the free authenticator app. If not check to see if your mobile phone is supported, if it is you can get the mobile authenticator for about a buck. Barring that you can get the key fob from blizzard for 6.50.
