Blizzard's internal network compromised.

I wonder if Blizz will get round to making passwords case-sensitive after this at least.

I've changed password and account email, don't feel too worried about it or the way they have handled this but I do like that it shows how they handle this situation (as required by Californian law) and proves why all the talk of the D3 servers getting hacked after launch but blizzard denying it was a load of bs. If that were the case, they'd have handled it in exactly the same manner they have with this real breach.

I always hated they weren't case sensitive. Another thing I think they should do is require the authenticator after a single bad password attempt.

Why? That account has an authenticator and is not subject to hacks due to a wrong passwor.

What about people with siblings, or roommates, or college dorm, or play from work? Don't see any reason to allow somebody lots of attempts to guess your password.

Use the option to require an authenticator every login and don't leave your authenticator laying around.

Life goes on. i Still think the most users will be safe. going to change stuff even though am in the EU.


Now what is funny is Beta/ptr Been Shutdown for no reason at all. the servers where not unstable at all as i been leveling a group of shams to 90, and its a lot better then when i leveled my locks.

Thank god i separate my passwords for everything. Gona be hard for them to guess my e-mail passwords and SQ/A for those as they aren't the same.

At work so can't do the passwords for wow accounts atm :\

[Shodokan]
