They said encrypted passwords were taken. And with the encryption being rather hard to break. I believe if this WAS the source of alleged account compromises, I think we'd see MANY more. Call me skeptical. I just have more faith in cryptology than the average idiot battle.net user.

Even still, I've changed all the passwords I've ever used for my WoW account. Rest in Peace "<38====DMiRai" you were an amazing password.
