I've seen numerous people who were very cautious about computer security (and WOW security in particular) get hacked and not have a clue how it was done. It's one of the reasons that I got an authenticator. I'm pretty cautious and pro-active about my computer's security, but I no longer take for granted that I know enough to be safe.

Still, there could be other ways that these guys are getting this info. I can't imagine that it's due to Blizzard's own security, if these guys had access to that kind of information, I doubt that they'd be careful enough not to tip Blizzard off about it. If it *is* an inside job in any way, that could be catastrophic for Blizzard as a company.

In the end, who knows? The people who work to steal accounts have become ridiculously aggressive and seem to be using everything from the most basic social engineering to more sophisticated ploys. I get the feeling that if we ever understood the scope of what these guys are doing, we'd hang ourselves in distress.
