Turn on an authencators ASAP -- it doesn't really matter anymore how good your account name/password is, there are programs that basically can spend 24 hours a day, 7 days a week trying millions of passwords on millions of account names. And I'm sure there are farms and farms of PCs around the world doing just that, whether its against WoW accounts or bank accounts. Its actually pretty scary when you stop and think how much of your information is out there, and how shitty our security really is. Most people sadly use trivial names for their bank/broker/mail/etc accounts, and a hackers farm of computers can sit there forever trying to crack em.
The really scary thing is too that in a couple years PCs will be powerful enough to even brute force through stuff like the blizz authenticator, we really do need to move to some sort of universal, world-wide DNA fingerprint authenticator for all web sites. But then someone will come and chop off your fingers to hack in![]()
