Here's an article that shows you how one guy stole passwords from other unsecured sites and try them on D3 accounts. He got around 10k hits and stole gold and stash from these accounts. Lesson here : DO NOT simply create accounts on fan sites and 3rd party sites. If you do, please do not use your primary email and same password. That's the main reason people's D3 accounts got hacked. Poor internet surfing habits. Blizzard's servers are secure as he says he cannot directly hack Blizzard's server. Also : DO NOT BUY GOLD. You will only encourage people like him to hack more accounts. D3 account hacker's method |

QUOTE(farkinid @ Jun 8 2012, 09:32 AM) Interstingly, last night, after dinner I realized I had about an hour or so of free time. So I decided to boot up my D3. After patching, I logged in with my username, password and then mobile authenticator (set to ask every log in) only to be greeted with a "your account is locked...... unusual activity" message. Man, that was annoying. So I went to the Bnet website and then proceeded to initiate a new password. Armed with a new password, I logged back in and everythign was in place. The only thing I want to know is, what exactly was the "unusual activity"? Perhaps they were trying to log in to your account and brute force the password or maybe they even have your password but was stopped by the authenticator? I'll bet that's along the lines of what "unusual activity" means. |
