My account got hacked once. Over 3k gold and all my items were stolen.


I contacted Blizzard and I got everything back with no poroblems.


It's not that hard. Just submit a ticket or call.

Same thing happened to me recently. Account was inactive for about 3 months. I do still play Starcraft 2, so I decided to remove my authenticator, as it is pretty tedious. Not even 24 hours later I get an email saying my password was changed and was accessed from China.

I never followed up with customer service as I do not plan on returning. I just though the timing was a little bit off. Sometimes I wonder about that conspiracy theory.

(And yeah I can almost guarantee that my all of my machines are virus/maleware free)

No, that was someone else. I posted about it though

Anyway, all is better with 1 phone call and my mini tyrael hilt is still with me. yay!
I did have to contact a gm though and have him remove the 80 true gold that they had 'returned' to us. We are a poor guild and 80 true gold was just something we didn't have.

I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore
/north /north *You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]!*
/cast sheild *sheild spell unavailable*
/csat shield *csat: unknown command*
*[Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]*

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


Did you know these sell for ~$750? I didn't find out until I bound it to my account...



I totally wish I could sell my Spectral Tiger

You pretty much did everything you could to allow yourself to be hacked, aside from personally giving someone in china your PW and account name.
