after reading, http://www.lowyat.net/v2/latest/hotmail-in-hotwater-2.html

i realise that, hacker might use this to their advantage. 2 of my guildie got hack this week, one of them said their email
got hacked too.

so i would seriously recommend whoever who use @hotmail @live to change their password
cause hacker can reset your wow password if they have your email account.

i got the damn frigging hacked as well - 2 times within 3 months

the first was a nightmare as not only my main and alts are cleared - so did my guild's bank

at most blizzard recovered were like 80% of the losses

the second time was a blow out - they did their recovery process, but i can safely say that almost 60% of my stuff is gone

heres a lesson: at minimum, get a set of PvP/honor gear ready in ya bag/bank, as these PvP items cant be sold for gold, and mostly left untouched

at least you can still do regular stuff like bg/dungeon/daily without completely naked and helpless
