Blizzard hacked, time to change those passwords again!
Last Updated on Monday, 22 October 2012 06:51 Written by LoganDX Thursday, 9 August 2012 10:20
Back into the Hackdome we go geeks! Blizzard dropped a security notice earlier informing players their accounts may have been compromised in a recent hack into the network. Some private data has been accessed such as answers to users security questions as well as mobile and dial in Authenticator information. Blizzard feels this information alone is not enough for the intruders to access anyone’s Battle.net accounts. The encrypted passwords were hijacked, the Warcraft developer is confident they won’t be cracked but players should still change their passwords anyway.
Good news is none of the players’ financial information or real life identities seems to have been pilfered. Safety’s sake dictates to watch bank and credit card statements anyways. Blizzard will be prompting users to change security questions and answers in the coming days via an automated process. They also warn folks that phishing is still a danger to their online security and beware of emails asking for emails and passwords.
Be a righteous geek and help remind those less tech savvy amongst us, would you? Check out Blizzard’s full statement After the break.
