Diablo III Hacking?

[May 21, 2012, 11:33 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A bunch of threads on the Diablo III forums from players who've experienced unauthorized access to their accounts suggest their may be a security issue with the action/RPG sequel or that the game's future support of real-money auctions has attracted more hacking attempts than one would consider normal. The threads in question are: Ummm...all of my gold and items are gone, Hacked. GG Online Only Single Player DRM, Hacked with an authenticator, and The hacker found (with screenshot). Thanks nin.

I long ago accepted that anything I gave to a company would be sold to marketing firms. Now I simply provide them with misinformation whenever possible and use trackable numbers/addresses so that I can determine who I can satisfy my curiosity of who is selling what. Google Voice and Gmail are handy for this.
Unfortunately Blizzard accounts have been getting hacked left, right and centre and when you sign up for the authenticator it recommends using the SMS security to avoid getting locked out of your account. I signed up and started getting spam. So I do nothing and I risk my account being hacked; I sign up for protection and get subjected to spam. Thanks Blizzard.

It's pathetic that the whole of western society is geared up for screwing people over in the name of money. Is it really so difficult to provide a service that doesn't screw people over in the process?
