That is true but you cant remove the authenticator knowing just email/password.Quote:

I tend to be in agreement that it's likely outside his PC. and likely was too pedantic in my prior post. I'd still opt for scanning with a boot DVD. If anything turns up, research it and see what it was. If a lot of stuff turns up, then it might be better to start fresh and also put in place a plan to avoid a repeat. A quick search in general for boot DVDs turned up an older MVP post on battle.net at http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2089279493#8 with links to a number of options (as of 2011, may not all still be live)
Or hacked by pet, girlfriend or wife? Or even the US government!? This world has gone mad and chaotic, never know...
Sorry, OT. Can't help it...
On a serious note, please let us know the answer to the hack, should you found one. Thanks in advance.
I have run a few scans on my PC and everything is coming up clean. I don't think I have an issue with the PC, but I will be rebuilding just to be safe.
Blizzard posted this last night: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/10310774/
I know longer subscribe but my accounts have several million gold total and I worry that when I eventually go back it will be gone.
My authenticator is still attached to the account, hopefully thats safe enough. Knew a guildie once that quit playing but he was hacked and his account turned into a trial so they could log in and take his gold.
"I know a guy who specifically made a website with WoW info just so he could hack WoW players accounts because alot of times people use the same info to register at sites that is used on their accounts"
How would that help with the authenticator?
Here an overview of what is going on: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/to...634?page=9#173
Some people are saying even accounts that haven't been used in months are getting hacked. Remote AH has been down since Saturday for maintenance.

As Olsondw showed: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/to...634?page=9#173
There are always ways around, above, below the walls we put up and hackers will always find em :) Thats why sometimes a name and password is all that is needed.
