They actually didn't know what they were doing. Sony's security flaws were very, very bad. Not updating there servers for over 6 months? Not good, not good. | ||

I thought Sony stored some of their information in plain text? ~~ | ||

Additionally, we'll prompt mobile authenticator users to update their authenticator software. And since we got a situation of "fear" and "panic" ... LET'S EARN SOME MONEY! Well played Blizzard .... | ||

if they were the same password, there was a small window of risk. if you have changed your passwords, that window is now closed. if someone does not have access to your e-mail account, your battle.net account cannot be stolen (in relation to this matter only.) | ||

As a programmer who's done cryptography work, it depends on the algorithm used. If its a properly salted non reversible algorithm then yes, but we don't know that... Plus It sounds like they may have used reversable encryption, so no. Change your passwords. | ||
