I get the feeling that attacks for this kind of information are included in viruses as a matter of course now.<BR/><BR/>The other thing you can do for security would be to copy paste your password so key loggers can't tell what your password is.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122002666601677631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24876506.post-64736795571015675672008-06-25T12:41:00.000-07:002008-06-25T12:41:00.000-07:00I was very lucky to be online when it happened to ...I was very lucky to be online when it happened to stop any real damage. It felt so much like a home invasion. I know off and on players might not feel this way but my wow characters are very personal to me. Everything in wow is very personal for me.<BR/><BR/>I really wish Blizzard would implement random generated security questions for log in. <BR/><BR/>That's a good idea about the user name. I'm going to request they change it today. <BR/><BR/>I guess in a way I open myself up to these attacks because I'm very public about my characters and my guild. Such a shame that worries of identity theft have to transfer to my wow world. <BR/><BR/>and yes, Starman, what a shame people still buy gold when it's so unbelievably easy to make now.. Incredibly easy.Alachiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13912837674920744170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24876506.post-20216902100995296402008-06-25T10:18:00.000-07:002008-06-25T10:18:00.000-07:00You might try one of those USB Keys for your passw...You might try one of those USB Keys for your password so you don't have to type it into your computer at least that should help with security on your end.<BR/><BR/>Also I have never heard of anyone doing this but you might also ask for a new usernames on both your accounts. Since you have been hacked at least twice now as starman says it might be brute force attacks if they don't have your username they at least have to find that before they can start trying to jack your password. I'm sure Blizzard would hate to have to do it but darn it if they really do care about their customers as they say they do Blizzard should do all they can to make your account secure again.Staabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04999155102759915909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24876506.post-1107628226442452572008-06-25T10:01:00.000-07:002008-06-25T10:01:00.000-07:00Ouch, hopefully Blizz will reimburse your GB with ...Ouch, hopefully Blizz will reimburse your GB with the stolen stuff!wow-daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513875177105608169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24876506.post-30408140645651300942008-06-25T07:04:00.000-07:002008-06-25T07:04:00.000-07:00I've been hearing stories about brute force attack...I've been hearing stories about brute force attacks on accounts, but that could be wrong.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, maybe it was Flash? I don't know, it's all crazy how these mofos are attacking people. And the irony is that gold is so easy to make nowadays, do people really need to buy it?<BR/><BR/>I hope it all works out for you.<BR/><BR/>And for the record, Blizzard needs to fix this goddamn problem right now. Make a whitelist of IP addresses or something. I don't care what, but I'll bet it'll be easier to implement something that's a small burden on the user once every few weeks, than giving back all the items that were stolen.Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042000527135386716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24876506.post-75598762035868418802008-06-25T05:33:00.000-07:002008-06-25T05:33:00.000-07:00OMG that totally sucks.

Don't forget to change your password every week from now on.<BR/><BR/>Another good idea is to click the box to remember username that way if you are keylogged they will only get your password b/c you won't be tying your username.<BR/><BR/>Hope they catch the SOB!!!Dalmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01322649479859236211noreply@blogger.com
