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.

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.

Most informative write up I've seen.

TL;DR: Go change your password RITE MEOW. Change for Email for good measure.

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 :\

If I'm reading that right, it relies on a database being physically secure. If that's true, doesn't it violate the old operating principle that you must always assume your data will end up in the hands of the enemy?

I was never asked to change my information. WTF. I did it anyway though >_>

This time period in history is not known for its intelligence :P. I know we've done great things just making a joke

I tried to change my stuff tonight but there's no mobile authenticator update available yet and no way to change secret sauce. Blizzard pages say "coming soon" etc. Color me unimpressed.

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.
