I can't believe this shit! my account got hacked! HACKED! WTF?! I don't even play WOW anymore! the shit my characters have from like 6 months back is even valuable anymore! WTF?!
I'm so fucking angry right now, this is ridiculous, what is wrong with people to steal over a goddamn video game thats not even that good after you play for a little while.
I just wish I could find who did that and just beat their faces in! ugh, its those goddamn gold selling bastards that shit up every server. I was supposed to be free of them now! My account isnt even friggin active! WTF?!?!?!

A+ blog! Will read again.
However, the first paragraph did not make sense. That's like saying someone stole your old rusty tricycle that you haven't rode for years and you're pissed at the world because someone stole it.

If your accoutn is worthless and whatnot, why are you so angry?
|
AuthenticatorFor all of those who cant keep their system clean. Sorry for you :D

Oh I didn't realize you meant your BNET account. Yeah that sucks
|
wait, so you B.net account was hacked? That really sucks man o_O
|
email blizz they'll get it back to you in a few days if you don't have a wow account its no problem happened to me once.
|
the problem is I do have a wow account, i havent played wow in like 6 months and havent logged on in 3-4 months (i used to log on and fly around and chat with friends) but the thieves cant even access my wow account unless they buy a gamecard and activate it. This is horrible, how am I going to survive with no SC2
this is supposed to happen to other people >< you always see it happen but it never happens to you, especially not when you don't even play wow anymore.
god im so angry and annoyed. my password is worthless now, thats my TL password i gotta change, my Gmail password, my steam password, i have to change all my passwords!

Next time you might wanna change the passwords first before letting the dude know everything important in your life is controlled by one password.
And also, make sure your computer is clean first, 'cause he'll just key-log the new passwords, too.

The same thing happened to me last summer... except sc2 wasn't out yet so I just made a new bnet account when I got sc2. I know how you feel though, it really sucks

I'm pretty damm sure he's doing it just in case y'know, not like he actually has all those things on the same password (amirite, PLEASE?)

Blizzard's account recovery is so easy, just retrieve your password or call them up. Then, order an authenticator if your Battle.Net account means that much to you.
|
I bet you replied to one of those spam emails saying your account had been hacked and now it is lol. Seems far more likely than an inactive WoW account miraculously being compromised. I havent played in over a year and get tons of fake emails saying i've been hacked.

It's not impossible for people to hack your account using keyloggers. Even if it's inactive, it doesn't matter, because the account (bnet and WoW) is the same.
|
You got hacked because your email has been hacked. I'm also guessing you have a hotmail account. If you look at your sent emails, you'll see thousands of spam emails that your email has sent out.
|
I dont know why you are freaking out soo hard like this. Just contact blizzard and they will most certainly retrieve it back for you. All you need is ID proving you are who you say you are, and they will give it back. The good thing about bnet accounts is that they are under your real name etc, so its very easy to verify that its you with a few pieces of ID. Call them right now.

doesnt mean I dont have the right to be pissed off about this, does it?

This.
Or if you have a Smartphone you could use the application that is available for it.
Being pissed about it is all fine and dandy in my book tho I'd worry more about how they hacked your account in the first place.

You can be pissed off, or you can be thankful that your banking information wasn't stolen and you're not missing thousands of dollars instead.

So you're mad over losing stuff in a game you don't even like and no longer play? Wow, that makes sense.
Forgive me the sarcasm. You still seem to be attached to your WoW characters and stuff (I can relate; having quit the game too but still keeping the times of playing in fond memory). Getting an authenticator is extremly easy, cheap/costs nothing at all and it's reliable. Since your account probably also has SC2 on in and maybe other games, you'll protect them together with WoW.
In 99% of cases of account hijacking, it's the person's own fault because of lacking PC security. You should definitely check your PC for mal/spyware, trojans etc. Also check your virus scanner, your firewall and everything else security related.

Blizzard can get i back for you. contact the asap

His main complaint is on the fact that he also lost his SC2 account. I know you figured it would be on there but I guess I'm just nitpicking.

I found out my WoW account got hacked about a year ago after I had quit playing. I took it as a blessing. One less reason to reinstall that life sucker.

You can't "lose" a B.Net account unless you're doing everything possible wrong. Especially not the SC2 part, since there's nothing to lose in that game compared to WoW.
Customer support will usually resolve the issue in less than 48 hours. I've experienced multiple (careless) friends of mine having their accounts hijacked and returned to them in less time than that (unless it's some kind of holiday). You message them, they take care and you'll have everything working again in no time. After a little investigation, they'll usually also restore any lost WoW items/gold/characters etc.

Exactly the same thing happend to me about a month ago ... blizz reacted just fine and i got my B.net account back in a day or two! But this week i tried to unlock my "locked" WoW Account to give a friend my remaining gold - had to change my email etc but now my B.net acc is completely shut down even though Blizz send me a mail which stated i could log in again :/ Now i'm pissed too because everything worked until now and i cant play Sc anymore >.<
|
my main complaint is indeed my SC2 account, and thats what's annoying me the most really. WoW account, well they can take everything, I don't care, but its quite annoying being hacked.
I am going to get an authenticator from now on
|
Dude, you can totally get the account I just hacked off some kid - wait... what's your wow-nick again?

Sorry for you :D Google authenticator+hacked and you'll soon find out that they got even some of those accounts. For example: http://www.mmocrunch.com/2010/02/28/world-of-warcraft-authenticator-hacked/
edit: I own an authenticator myself since sc2beta, because I didn't want people to take my beta away from me. Never got hacked. Just saying that it doesn't make you completely safe either.

Yeah, that's your problem. Same thing happened to me back in 2008 when I hadn't played WoW in a year. I used the same password for my email that I used for lots of random forums, one of them got hacked, hackers then had my email address and password, gg. Moral of the story is to use a unique password for your email address because if someone gets access to that, they have access to most everything else through lost password emails.
|
my e-mail (hotmail) is a different password and that wasn't hacked, no spam mail sent or anything, i checked. Gmail account is fine, etc.
Still freaking annoying, i want to get my SC2 back
|
Just email blizzard o____o
In all honesty, getting hacked isn't REALLY getting hacked when it comes to simple websites like TL.net, game accounts, steam, gaiaonline(lolololol).. It's just your passport being incredibly easy to guess.
I've had that happen to me when I was younger and websites didn't make you use complicated passwords. I would use the same thing for everything. I use the same password for accounts I don't care about now or just make quickly, otherwise my password is extremely complicated now, and I've had no problems with it.
o__o Be careful!
|
yeah, my password was not simple lol. 3 capital letters, 3 normal letters and 2 numbers.
and i did email blizzard, wtf are people thinking im doing? crying in a corner about how unfair the world is?

In any case, stop whining and complaining, clean your computer completely(like people have said), change all your passwords, and move on. If it comes down to the fact that you need to buy another SC2 account, wait for your birthday or a holiday and ask for a bit of cash. Any spare change/cash you have, put in a jar and just buy it again. Or, ask your friends if you can use their accounts.
I understand stats are important, but sometimes it's easier just to get a new account. -shrug-
Edit: Also, you should try sounding a bit nicer. You're biting people's heads off for absolutely no reason, and no one is being rude to you, so.

Haha! I love how someone is understandably angry because people hacked his account, and the overwhelming response is to attack him. Have some empathy and calm down folks, he was just venting. I'd be pissed too.
