Really, there is no protection technology that hackers can't break. It's only a matter of do they care enough to break it. So, basically, all hackers need to success is to breach to the network. What they did in this case. Therefore, changing passwords is the only protection. | ||

 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 | ||

In reality, they could very well know your password already. All you need to decrypt an encrypted pass is a good machine. | ||

There are plenty of secure hashing/encryption routines that require a large cluster of computers to break through in a reasonable amount of time. Any somewhat sensible company will use encryption that is at least strong enough to not make it economically viable to bruteforce it. | ||
