I got hacked

[Shania]

So what I want to know is how the fuck can my boxing toons get hacked, off clean pcs that are not accessing any sites other then wow, this 1, banking sites, etc. No malicious spyware, no viruses no nothing on any of the machines here, and we have 3 thats online.

No1 has access to the 2 main pcs other then myself and fiance.
ALL gbank hundreds and thousands of Gold gone, all toons stripped, all personal gold off many toons gone, mats, the whole lot.

This concerns me greatly as I cannot even begin to comprehend how its possible to get hacked when you do not go anywhere you should not for starters, run a clean pc, with virus scanners, maleware etc.

Never ever in the 5 yrs has this happened before.

clear history won't eliminate the trojans installed by shady porn sites when you roll the dice and install their custom players. tell your fiance this and study his facial expression.

We have not been hacked. YOU have been hacked.

Thats pretty pathetic assumption, considering the pcs are in the main loungeroom where our children are, maybe thats something you need to get upto, doesnt mean all men are the same...

And I said my boxing toons were hacked, where has the "we" come from.

Honestly sometimes people can be down right idiotic and rude at the wrong fucking time.

Don't expect sympathy from people on this board. Soon as you mention "hacking" they start treating you like you have a communicable disease.

Haha, 'tis true... but what do people expect? People post here and ask WHY? or HOW? Well how the hell should we know how
someone got hacked? I'm certainly not using their computer, I have no idea what goes on in their household.

Numerous people have posted here time and time again that about getting hacked and the only thing we can tell them to do is
to get an authenticator [because 99 out of 100 people getting hacked don't use one] and to call Blizzard support to get their
shit back.

We don't have a magic phone number to reach Blizzard direct nor do know where the express line is for the restoration process.

Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

I think it's more rhetorical questions... Why me, etc. When I was hacked I did the same thing but I already knew the answers.


Also, you don't have to respond if it bothers you.

Big question, but did you try to do more to protect your accounts than the hacker did to get them? Not just I didn't do anything wrong, but more did you actually do a step to prevent someone from hacking you? The biggest one is authenticator. If you have 5 accounts to lose, I can't understand why you wouldn't use a free/cheap item that limits/prevents hacking. Talk to customer service and see if you can get your stuff restored. But most important, change your password from a computer that don't normally use so in case there is a keylogger, it won't pick it up. But mostly, put an authenticator on your account.

[Shodokan]

There really is zero excuse to not have authenticators at this point. If you are a boxer and have been playing 6+ months blizzard will send you them for free (at least in my case), previous to that i used one that I had on my computer which is also free.

[katsurahama]

Authenticator. You use a free one on ipad/ipod/iphone. Since its free there is no excuse not to use one.

I got keylogged or something once on some other accts but they didnt have crap so whoever did it just used them to re-up via trial and spam for gold sites. I only found out about it because blizz sent me an email saying i was banned for spamming gold sites.

Sorry you lost your stuff.
