I'd like some kind of technical explanation, not just "it can be done" or "it happened to so-and-so." How easy and/or simple is it to fake a specific IP address, especially for someone who is just sitting at another PC somewhere else in the world and just wants to hack a WOW account?
Agreed on the "worth their time" angle.

I'd also like to see a link to the official forums thread where it was acknowledged that this was how someone got hacked with the Dial-In Authenticator set up. I mean, if it's happened and been discussed, should be trivial to find the thread again, right? Not trying to sound snarky but this sort of claim is always going around among kids trying to look important on forums.
