I am at work so I can't log in to see if we have a guild anymore. I always knew it could happen but I have been lucky so far and pretty safe browsing etc.

Scanning the 2 work comps that I use to see if they are infected and then when I get home I gotta check those. I have an idea of a link I clicked on and actually bought a t-shirt from that might be the culprit... Only 1 other place that could be it which I doubt.

My biggest fear is if anything happened to my mini tyrael.

Anyway. I am a sad panda


edit: looking at the armory my rogue earned G.N.E.R.D. Rage at some point today.
Earn 10 honorable kills while under the influence of the G.N.E.R.D. buff.

Why take an account and BG bot with it naked? AND eat GNERDS. It doesn't seem right to me lol

No. I actually do account share with my brother. We have toons on each others accounts. We couldn't do that with authenticators. BTW his account is fine so it's something I did I fear. Yeah, I told him to change his info since once one of us gets compromised the other is sure to follow.

When we won them they were like $500.00 or something but I still bound it to my account. It is my favorite wow thing.

Yeah I definitely ride my pure white pre-patch epic kitty with my tyrael in tow.

Well, the source of my compromise was my e-mail got hacked. With that they just sent for a new password.

I changed my e-mail pw and sent for a pw reset. I am not feeling very well so I went to lay down and deal with this tomorrow.

Then I remembered that my amazon account is tied to that e-mail so I went and changed that pw as well and noticed an e-mail from Blizzard and that they had requested an e-mail change. (I checked headers and they were legit) Gotta love that. Click here if you didn't make this e-mail change. I check headers and click. "Log in" it says. Of course when I go to log in it says that my e-mail is no longer associated with the battle.net account. ARG.

Anyway, it appears that hotmail had a few security breaches and since all you need is access to someones e-mail acct to get a wow account I got hosed.

I know I can sort it all out by calling them tomorrow but what a pain.
