So, some of you may know of my ranting a couple days account about how my Battle.net account was compromised. My Battle.net is used to play World of Warcraft, but I'm not a crazed fanatic for that game. I'm more angry for several other reasons:
I used to be the type of person that would say, "No, your account wasn't hacked, you just shared your information with the wrong person. They didn't hack you. They just used common sense. What? You let your friend play and told them your password once? Just because you have pisspoor memory doesn't mean they have pisspoor memory." I changed my password on my gmail one last time, then just decided to dive into the settings. Changed the password...again... made sure the recovery e-mail was my professional e-mail, checked the SMS to make sure it was mi--wait. What? 508 number? That...that's from China. THAT'S FROM CHINA! What the hell! I told everyone this once before, that because I use satellite, my information is vulnerable to being intercepted, but still. China?! I need someone to vent to, but no one is on... -__- I'm still very angry and very upset about this. |

I'm not mad that they hacked me. Well, sorta. They cleaned out my banks and my gear, but I was able to get it back. The fact that it happened not once, but TWICE is what gets to me. Even after 5 password changes... But, I actually am slightly grateful. They got my paladin to level 85, maxed out my mining, and completely explored Mount Hyjal. I'm just interested because they always took my characters back to the last place they were ._. Oh, yeah. They only messed with my female characters. |
