So now I know why " FedExe delivery failure" and "Penis Enlargment" got through my spam.

Edit: Changing password now

I think that has more to do with your porn than your bnet account.

So change your passwords. Got it.

(Before anyone says "Oh no Probe u sux at reading", cryptographically scrambled versions.. do you trust your account and information on that? Do you?")

I do, but I'm still going to change my password and security questions because its incredibly easy

Blizzard should have gotten authenticators, and this wouldn't have happened.

No EU acion needed? Phew, last time GOM TV needed this it was a hassle to memorize the new pass.

Also, "kudos" on the "scrambled" passwords. Even if anyone who knows computer security has it as no-brainer step to protecting data, it seems that people neglect it IRL more often than not.

To state the obvious: if both your email account and (a hashed version of) your password has leaked, AND you use that combination of mail address and password elsewhere (e.g. your webmail, or facebook) then make sure to change your login details on those sites too!

(GOM leaking all their passwords *plaintext* made me aware of how dangerous password reuse is)

Holy shit. I knew of someone who bragged to me about getting account information of the #1 US Warrior in WoW and then used it to strip him of all his gear and stuff to allow himself to achieve the #1 rank. This was just a couple of days ago. Holy shit.

Ahh wtf! Blizzard has dropped the ball big time. I'm more worried about them getting my email than the password I have a lot of stuff going on with that email.

So uh, I have a secondary account on the US server, but it came after my EU account and uses the exact same login as my eu account, would I need to reset my password as well?
I have no quote!

Well, atleast they informed us 6x faster than Sony did.
I still hold grudge to Sony for keeping their customers dark for so long.

This might not be a time to talk about happiness, but I'm a tiny bit relived that this didn't also include EU as I have the same password for almost everything

Still, if anyone can fix this fast (with the law, i.e not mafia) it's probably Blizzard. My hearts to you in America <3


Don't be so sure you're safe.

If you've ever accessed a Blizzard beta, you've logged on via the US authentication server.

Make sure you don't use your GOMTV password anywhere else, they literally have zero encryption on their passwords when you log in. They made no changes to their security the first time they sent out the big notice that passwords had been compromised, I haven't bothered paying attention sense then. No point in changing the password if the new one is sent in plain text again every time I log in.

If the passwords they stole are encrypted, the chances of breaking the cypher on an 8 letter password are about zero. They'd be better off just trying to guess your password ^^. Still worth changing the secret question though.
