Hope you get it all sorted out.

Personally, as much as I enjoy my Shammy team, if I got hacked, my first call is to my bank, not Blizzard. That said, my bank uses a screen keyboard with randomized key-positions for my login. If my bank were to use Blizzards two hack-me-now text boxes for logging in, there's no way I'd use that bank for Internet banking. Despite every precaution listed here - and they're all worthy steps to be taken - there is ultimately no way to completely protect yourself, short of going offline and never reconnecting to the Internet. I've worked in IT for 20 years now, the last 6 at IBM, and I am always amazed (and a little disturbed...lol) by what the hacker-heads over in our Security competentcies are able to get past, through, over, under or around.

I would very much like to see Blizzard use an on-screen keyboard - as a purely optional login method for those that want it - as I know I'd be quite happy to log in via this way. As much as my Shaman team is light years behind other more critical internet transactions I make, I'd still like to add another layer of protection if I could.

Still, do what the previous posters have said - while you may never make your computer impervious (and anyone who thinks they have is kidding themselves), at the very least, you shouldn't make it easy either.



Blizzard's client does have the potential to use the 'onscreen' keyboard thing with randomized placement of digits. Just like inputting a pin number when you go to the ATM.

It also has the potential for a Matrix Card. On the right side the digits 1-0 are placed in a circular fashion and they spin quickly when the mouse is far away and slows down gradually when the mouse reaches the wheel. Once your mouse moves over a button all the digits are cleared so no one can see what you're clicking on.

I don't know why people on US servers aren't able to enhance account security with these features.
