Yeah, true. I just hope the hacker does get due punishment. I just found it interesting that China was spared. | ||

And to the other post about using a webpage to check how secure your password is, i seriously hope you didn't use your real one, how secure is a secret you told someone about to see if they have heard it? I also gave them my email to make sure they wouldn't have to bother finding it otherwise. Then I sent them my SSnumber and a photocopy of my passboard. Also, no one has stolen anyone's password through blizzard since they aren't stupid enough to store them as plain text (take that sony!) They got a hashed version, so a more secure password will indeed help you against getting hacked. | ||

It's because China has their own servers and own operation. This has something to do with the distributor of starcraft in china | ||

God, it seems there's so many of these incidents these days. Has it always been like this, or is it just happening now because some jackasses showed it was possible, and, indeed, easy? | ||

Or is that something different? That's an age old phishing scam. It's not really from Blizzard even though sometimes they look really convincing. When Blizzard thinks you've sold/are selling an account they just outright ban you, they don't bother telling you that they suspect you. | ||

Why did Blizzard announce this on August 9? We were debating whether to sweep it under the rug or not. But seriously, what is the reason for taking such a long time? | ||

I have in mind the sort of attack where the attacker computes the hash of "password123" and compares it to all the hashes to see if it matches any of them (which is only O(log N)), which would be foiled by salts -- in that case they've got to do the hash algorithm N times instead of just once to check N hashes against each dictionary word. Of course, if the passwords are suitably weak then you can probably afford this -- just check the simplest ones against all of them. It's been a while since I studied this stuff, of course, so I could be wrong. Even with salts, the general population pick terrible passwords. Look at analysis done of previous leaks such as this one: https://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9147138/Users_still_make_hacking_easy_with_weak_passwords? According to Imperva, about 30% of the passwords in the hacked list were six characters or smaller, while 60% were passwords created from a limited set of alphanumeric characters. Nearly 50% of the users had used easily guessable names, common slang words, adjacent keyboard keys and consecutive digits as their passwords. | ||
