Karune and Cydra, and probably others, had their Blizzard accounts hacked recently. So if you were wondering why all the blue posts and stickies disappeared recently then now you know.

I wonder of all the old SC2 threads will be able to be recovered from this.

This just goes to show that not even Blizzard is safe from the hackers!

Not SC related, but I still remember a few months back when a Blue on the WoW forums was hacked and posted a keylogger with the standard nonsensical gibberish.

How are they going to stop map hack if they can't even secure the forums!
It felt like gravity.

The forums are obviously pretty outdated... I'm confident SC2 will be hack-free.

blizzard is real clever about maphacking.
i remember in D2 they didn't ban players who used maphack for an entire version and then after about a month after the release of the next patch they banned all the old maphackers. this caused a scare because the maphackers thought blizzard figured out the new maphack that quick.

eh the explanation is real confusing but its the best i can do on four hours of sleep

what do you mean, "not even blizzard is safe"? The bnet forums get hacked like twice a week. It's pretty much the worst forum I've ever seen.
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game

Here's a conspiracy theory:

Blizzard hacked itself to create the illusion that it is vulnerable to hackers.

LOL I KNOW HOW TO HACK I WIN THE INTERNETZ LOOLOLOL!!!!!111


my fucking god seriously when people ask me if I could kill something in the world I don't say the ordinary shit like bush, fidel castro, castro chavez, kim jong ill or whatever, it's hackers. such. fucking. waste. of. life. O.M.G.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

eh it was bound to happen.

Everything on the internet that is of any worth is going to get hacked to some degree, sooner or later.
