after my first account banning due to it being *lost* i came back on a brand new out of the box computer.
unless HP puts keyloggers on in the factory, you can not blame this user.
there was literally only what came with the computer, MS-SE, windows & it's updates and WoW and it's updates.
blizzard account associated sites were the only websites visited.
the computer was used for nothing else.

used the mobile authenticator on an ipod also...which come to find out was removed.

after looking back at the emails, account was *activated* both times exactly 96 days apart, and banned shortly thereafter.

password was not changed from when i left either.

point the finger at me all you want...i couldn't care less...i know it wasn't anything i caused.

the second time i got the account AND items restored (and then some ) within 30 minutes and wasn't even charged for the month because the payment was disputed by the *hackers* CC company.

Im confused..the account on the brand new clean pc was hacked 96 days after you opened it?

Also..did you have virus protection setup before you ventured over to blizzards account site? Other PCs on a network?

96 days after my account went inactive BOTH times it was reactivated by the "hacker"
Kaspersky(sp?) was running on it for the first 30 days(then i switched to MS Security Essentials)...came with computer...that's the one thing i forgot above that had *access* on the computer.
no other PC's on the network...i have my network, and i have the punk ass kids/porn/xbox/netflix network...completely separated.

Arc, try logging in 5 times with a bad password, and time yourself.


No matter how fast you type, or a gpu enters the information, there is the login delay to deal with, (which you cannot get around) which makes the above theory for brute forcing a WOW account all but impossible.

No matter how many pieces you can come up with, only one can be entered at a time. (And that's IF you know the email address)


Just throwing it out there.
