Hacked account, how did they do it?

[outdrsyguy1]

I just started getting a ton of VERY GOOD phishing emails over the past couple weeks. These are getting GOOD. I honestly can't tell if some are real or not other than I login directly to battle.net or my wow account and don't see any thing out of whack. I get notices of server transfers in progress, faction transfers, account password changes, and other mysterious activity. I DO have an authenticator and I suspect they just picked up my email some how. I doubt i have a keylogger because I do have one account I use that doesn't have an authenticator and it has not been hacked yet.

Not sure what email program you use, but I use Outlook Express. In "Edit", there is an option (yeah, like 3 other ways to get to it) to see "View Source". It lets you see 100% of the email, not just the pretty stuff. Guess what shows up as the orginaltion of fake emails, the domain of the person starting it. Always overseas. If you EVER get an email from Blizzard view source it. It only takes like 10 secs. Also, like others have said:

DON"T click links in emails, ever. EVER. Just go to the place they tell you to go. Type in blizzard.net, type in ebay.com, etc.

DON"T use a normal email for WOW or SC2. It isn't worth it. Just get a new email address from the same place. Think of it like a business, would you put your business funds in your personal bank account? Then get a different one to keep it in.

GET an authenticator. You might not like it, but until you a show numbers of people getting hacked with an authenticator, it is doing way more than you people without one were doing before. Think of it like this, how bad do you want your stuff. If you leave your stuff unlocked, you must not want it really bad. Don't get mad at people that wanted your stuff more than you tried to stop them. Try to stop them harder.
