My friend's Bnet account go hacked around the time he got Sc2 and has been to lazy to do anything about it. In the best few days he got the account back and guess what? it has the most games played of any SC2 account

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/profile/2041986/1/AbilityBunny/

LAWL when losses and wins still counted he had over 36000+ games logged WTF??



your friend (or at least his account) and another account were dumping games to each other, im surprised the account isnt banned because i know a bunch of people reported it

its odd that somebody who is dumping games on a hacked account would go to all the effort of unlocking all the portraits for him tho...

If you can show proof that you own the account, it's so easy to recover.

I've had a bnet account and played wow since 2006 till 2010 , and never got my account hacked once.There are alot of scam e-mails, before you click any of the links in the email, be sure to hover on the link and check the adress, it will usually have weird words like bliiizard or bntlnet shit like that, really easy to detect.
Another thing you can do if you dont want to bother checking if every email you receive from "blizzard" is the real deal, you can just make a brand new e-mail account and link it to your bnet account, that way you'll have a spam free e-mail adress just for your bnet account.

The best free scans out there for keyloggers are spybot search & destroy and ad-aware plus, i know this because i have alot of friends who got hacked and this worked for them, getting an authenticator also works ;p .

In case you wish to recover the account and you dont have any acess to it, just send a copy of your passport/national ID to blizzard (talk to them on the phone first) and they will reset your password/email whatever instantly.If you contact them by e-mail the process is much much slower but still doable however.
Never Regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted.

How did I fall for a fake email when my password was in fact changed? Or did you mean something else?

What probably happened was that someone got a hold of your email.
They then sent you a message that "your password was changed", and instead of directing you to blizzard's site, they redirected you to a site that looks just like blizzards site, but the difference is once you log into the site, you give them your password.

I never clicked on any link in the email. Even the links are legit as they direct you to blizzard.com or battle.net.


No, they SAY they're redirecting you to the proper site, but they really don't. I'll quote a spam email I got that looks correct (even from Blizzard@battle.net)

had a similar experience, it's just that I lost both my SC2 AND WoW account at once (being they're both tied to the same email account). Anyways just contact blizzard and they'll help you out eventually.

Spoofing an email address happens fairly often. You shouldn't base your level of trust on that.

Regarding spoofing, I had a VOIP server and I used to prank my friends. You can enter whatever caller ID you want . I know, shame on me!

Personally I haven't, but if you know someone who has or it ends up happening to you; what you want to do is call or email blizzard and if you answer their questions and provide the necessary information they will change it back for you and email it to you at a safe email address. I think they will ask for your product code so its smart to keep the starcraft box and instruction booklet/manual.

phishing, basics of social engineering. When u get that kind of mails, u have to be allways suspicious. Hower over a link and if it's not the proper link don't click it.

You can spoof any email you want if you have a mail server. The sending address is just a field that can be filled in that can anything.

If you spoof an address it just means that any 'reply' will go to that address.
