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.

Something is wrong when every major story pertaining to a long-awaited blockbuster game are about things like DRM, server outages and account hacking. What are the odds that someone new to the series and considering buying it is going to want to subject themselves to all these potential pitfalls, especially when all of what they read about the game references exactly that?

People new to the series generally don't know what DRM or server outages are, or why they should be outraged.

If they spend any time on the internet at all I bet they understand the concept of "hacked accounts" and "unable to login". Not to mention given that 12 years have passed, I'm guessing that there is a whole new demographic of young, computer savvy kids who were but mere toddlers when Diablo 2 was released.
