[url=#user_comment_84329]@bpkdasbaum[/url]: Ive had my account hacked before Battlenet came out, ive had it hacked by someone attaching my account to a battlenet, ive had someone hack my account then attaching a security key, and ive had someone hack my account which was protected by a security key which was somehow removed.

In my case, my WoW account had a twelve digit randomly generated password composed of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and punctuation - as well as a key fob authenticator - and neither of those had been shared with anyone. And it was still hacked. *shrug* It happens.

Hacked once in the timespan of 10 years, due to a keylogger.

Notified that my account was compromised and banned, did recovery, checked other accounts. Japanese IP accessed my GMail and other things. I'm not saying it's not my fault, but it's bound to happen eventually.

[url=#user_comment_84920]@Jiokuy[/url]: The only reason hacking is the entire category is because people who didn't know what it meant kept using it to mean the entire category. ...but I guess that's kind of how language works, huh. :/

[url=#user_comment_84870]@Lobster[/url] Technically that would be cracking not hacking. Hacking is the entire category and is generally not illegal.

Even if they DID manage to get your password through no fault of your own, 90% of the time even that isn't "hacking." It's phishing or social engineering.

Now, when they can actually break through Hotmail's security, that is hacking and they could make a ton of money going legit.

Don't forget the seemingly legitimate websites you go to for your everyday business, such as photo uploading and file uploaders as just a small potential example. Make a password there and they may have had a malicious intent from the beginning. Be careful WHERE you make passwords.

And... Project zomboid's devs got robbed. This seems to correspond perfectly tothe later part of jo's comment, that while usally it is your fault, it's possible it was somone else's. Oh, and WHAT NATIONALITY IS JO? Is he Mexican or Japaneese?

over 12 years ago
[url=#user_comment_84474]@Kloptik[/url] True and not true at the same time. A real case for example, where some hackers cracked NCSoft's Aion's security and managed to lay their hands on part of users' database... Serious company too, yet got screwed up.

tl;dr: No one tries to hack into Blizz PW database because it's not worthwile. Before you argue, read the posts and NOT JUST THE TL;DR. Thank you.

The one that makes me laugh is when i get one of those "confirm your details" e-mails for a bank I don't even use, or a game I don't play. DERP.
Kloptik
over 12 years ago
And after that, if the account has nothing worthwile, though luck.

If it has an authenticator, more time wasted. GG. It's not a good way to make money nor get accounts. Only dumbasses would try it... it's a guaranteed waste of time.
Kloptik
over 12 years ago
Not saying it's impossible to get a password from Blizzard database, that's fucking difficult but could theorically be pulled off if the circumstances were right and done by someone who knows his stuff.

But past that, there is decryption that may not work and use a homemade algorithm...
Kloptik
over 12 years ago
The time it would take to get a password that does not guarantees money gain is immense.

It's not a worthwile way for anyone who wants to make money. Assuming they will sell what's on the account / use it's gold to sell, etc.
Kloptik
over 12 years ago
Taytay, that's impossible.

No one can hack into Blizzard Servers then decrypt a password. Would take too long. Additionnally, just randomly aiming at a password, hoping there is good stuff behind is stupid. They could find one of the 19862271296 trial accounts.

and I don't think it is brute forced either, it was 14 char with numbers and letters. there was nothing precious on my account for that dedication.

imho, blizzard has some fault too.

as I said. my battlenet account, which has been inactive for years, is stolen. it's password was different than any other one I used and I didn't even type it for months. I can't see any way for a hacker to retrieve it from me.

If someone's selling -my- old WoW account, bitches better pay up. That level 8 Orc Warrior and level 9 Troll Ranger took me a whole three months to make! And don't get me started on my level 4 Gnome Rogue. Bitch took forEVER to level.
Narbodi
over 12 years ago
The best ones (aside from the fact that my account has been defunct since before Burning Crusade hit beta) are the "we suspect you are selling this account, please log in through this broken attempt at hiding a URL under another URL to verify that it is still yours" emails.
Narbodi
over 12 years ago
I still get attempted WoW-jacking spam, often with mostly copy-pasted website crap, and the actual scam is written thus:"we will be complimentary seat to the 5,000 players. You can log Web site application, we will be lucky players randomly." Certainly, this is legitimate!

It does not matter how strong your password is if the company has it in plain text! By the way monkey is a very popular password.

I got hacked once. I have no idea how that happened because I don't download illegal material or go to illicit websites.

I won't blame the company for it either because it wasn't really their fault. Bad luck I guess.

everyone saying their pc was secure. not their fault etc. that the bnet account got hacked, are idiots. it is always 100% your fault. l2secure your pc, passowrds & email. oh and just because your accounts gets stolen right now and your pc it clean at the moment, doesnt mean it was a few months ago

I am pretty sure it is blizzar's fault. same thing happened to my account which I don't use anymore and its password is different than any other password I use (and btw it is quite complicated, I don't believe it is cracked).

my password is uniquely unhackable and unguessable, its also immune to keyloggers because copy paste when you put it somewere already REALLY works, plus i highlight and delete the phony bits.

If anyone's wondering, the Chinese text here translates to "That's right!" or "No mistake!".

Sorry about the hacking thing btw. Hope nothing too important was lost.
