I was hacked one week after activating my second (now unprotected) account while using antivirus, chrome with ad-block, etc. Three separate scans showed no viruses on my end. Take the five minutes to call them and move your second accounts to your first bnet if at all possible!

    I was very lucky that they hacked me while I was online and only had my account for about five minutes total (also lucky they started with the only 85 on my account rather than either of the bank alts or my new monk).

    "Other security measures" just don't cut it.

    My personal theory is that they actually got my email information when I logged in to wowinsider using that old aol account that was the master of that bnet.

    With how much money we spend on the game it seems very silly not to just buy as many authenticators as we need for $10 each.
