Well i log on and i have 0 gold on all of my characters that i have been botting on. The chars i have not botted on have their gear + gold still, have i been hacked or is this a GM who has taken it all ? i havent really been botting that much, only a couple of farm runs and some leveling. No whispers that im aware of.
damn.. how can i prevent them from doing it again ? i have changed my password but i have no idea how they got it in the first place..
Better report this to blizzard asap so you get everything back :s happened to me 2 times even tho noone else knows my login >.< i really wanna know how they can hack accounts they have no idea about
if you've been on any website, you could have gotten keylogged. This is why I use a computer that only runs my music / downloading to look for buyers
did you get / opened scam email claiming that they are from blizzard? try this counterspy and vipre antivirus and scan ur system VIPRE Antivirus Software Trial - Download a Free Trial of VIPRE Here
Most of the time this happens people have registered with same email adress and password as their wow Account on a forum like this. Then the hackers ***** the userbase and get the data. They got my main account the same way 3 months ago. ( the only account I have almost no gold on )
I use macos for browsing and windows just for wow with no isntalled browsers or extra programs, I'm that cool and secure ;D. Get an authenticator, granted you can't use reloggers then but I'd say it's a small price to pay for safety .
You have to scan your pc for keyloggers, trojans etc. Otherwise you could get hacked again. In addition call blizz that you have been hacked. They will restore 100% of everything which you had before.
Just buy an authenticator for ur mobile phone its only 50 cents and all ur chars get an ingame pet puppy corehound. https://eu.battle.net/account/support/mobile-authenticator.html if ur phone is not supported look here http://deathcoil.net/authguide.html to get it working on unsupported windows mobile or here Battle.net authenticator app for Windows Mobile | PocketHacks.com
happy ending to the story, got all my stuff back =) have gotten my battle.net username changed, and a authenticator for my ipod touch. thanks guys for the help! im back in buisniss! /thread
You should always have an authenticator. Any sort. Call in or mobile/physical authenticator. As stated, you can't use a relogger but it's a small price to pay. Get logmein or vpn to control your computer remotely
i have scanned my laptop clean and my work computer has been replaced by the company (i suspect this is where i got logged)
My bank blocked blizzard because someone hacked my wow account. And someone hacked into my credit card on wow and spent 1000 bucks on wow shit so I can't get a authenticate
