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:


  • My e-mail account, Mori.Kiyoshi@gmail.com was first compromised. Gmail account activity monitoring flagged it about 3 weeks ago that my account was accessed from China. CHINA! This at first was no big deal. I only use this e-mail for forums, junk sites, and...and games.
  • I went to log on to Battle.net and it didn't let me log on. I changed my password, and was notified that my account was temporarily suspended, and needed to change my password. So, I changed my password, again, filed for an account compromise, submitted the paperwork, and waited. About a week later, I got my account and items back.
  • My account was restored July 6th, 2011 (Tuesday).
  • I go to log on to my account July 7th, 2011 (Wednesday). My login isn't working. I think it's just me forgetting my password, so I go to my gmail to reset my password and...I...can't access my gmail?! WHAT?! Actually, it's more like this:
  • *stare at the computer screen for several seconds, let out a long pissed off sigh* "Really? REALLY?!?!?!.... Shit."
  • So, like a freaking moron, I have to submit ANOTHER account compromise to Blizzard, less than 12 hours after I said my ticket was resolved and filled out the survey. LESS THAN TWELVE HOURS.


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.

Ouuuch, that really sucks, Syne :( Hopefully after changing the SMS you won't have to worry about it anymore.

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.
