Regardless, Blizzard flat out simply does not do enough to secure their network and player base period. If this were any other company there would be class action lawsuits. But because it's the all mighty can't do any wrong Blizzard, people eat it up and pat them on the back for riding the fail boat on a regular basis.
Like I said, so much misinformation...
So even though the likelihood of the problem being 99% end-user related, Blizzard isn't doing enough? They use a random key gen hardware, release free software for smart phones and they still don't do enough? This is all to protect the masses that are incapable of protecting themselves. To my knowledge, the only other game company that has done as much is Sony with EQ, and that happened long after Blizzard did it for WoW.
How about the end-users take their heads from their asses, shut their mouths and solve their own security issues instead of just pointing the finger at everyone else?

My brother's account was hacked! They've stolen all his gear, gems... even what he had equipped. Blizzard need to get their shit together, as this is only going to get worse when they launch the real money AH.
It is not Blizzards job to keep trojans, backdoors and other malware off your brothers computer for him. That's his. Tell your brother to keep his various software like Flash, Windows Update etc up-to-date, get an authenticator and stay off porn/torrent sites.

So much misinformation both negative and positive coming from everyone. But Im only going to waste my time to correct one thing.
From... http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5149181449#1In all of the individual Diablo III-related compromise cases we've investigated, none have occurred after a physical Battle.net Authenticator or Battle.net Mobile Authenticator app was attached to the player's account, and we have yet to find any situation where a Diablo III player's account was accessed outside of "traditional" compromise methods (i.e. someone logging using an account's login email and password).
This is all new to non-WoW players, so the misinformation and rage is flowing freely.
I've been using a mobile Authenticator since it was released for Battle.net and I've never had any problems. Nor did I before I started using the Authenticator. Since I've started using it many people I know in WoW had their account "hacked" and they never had an Authenticator.
There are many ways that someone could "hack" an account, most of them end up being enduser error. This doesn't mean that there couldn't be a leak somewhere in Blizzard, just means it is very unlikely and I'd bet 99 times out of 100 that the source of the compromise was on the users end.
He uses Kaspersky and all his software is up to date. Even though he uses different passwords with each website and service he has already changed them all. He isn't a clueless computer n00b - he builds his own computer, reinstalls Windows when necessary, uses different passwords for each site, uses anti-virus, knows to ignore spam / malicious links, etc. I'm not claiming he's the world's most knowledgeable computer user but he is certainly way above average.

I doubt you do, either.

If it was a virus or rootkit then it got past his anti-virus - which would be impressive considering that when I asked he said he hadn't clicked on any suspicious link or ran any untrusted software. I suspect his account was targeted remotely. Even so it should have detected an untrusted computer and required additional security.
I will happily admit I am if proven so, have you at least talked to him and said "Hey brother, maybe you should run the latest version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware just to be safe just in case there is a problem so it does not happen again".

Holy crap, I'm in a queue to play single player.
That's gotta be a new low...
Nah...That's Blizzard's new security paradigm. Company figures if you are attempting to play single player, but are actually in a queue waiting to play single-player--you should be un-hackable. I think they may be on to something--if they suspend play for everyone, and put everyone in a perpetual queue--then it's barely possible that nobody would be getting hacked. Hmmmm.....

Anyway, there is a free authentication option, its the cell phone one. If you don't want to give your cell phone number, get a free google voice one.
No; the FAQ explicitly states that they are still evaluating support for Diablo III with the dial-in authentication option, it is not yet supported.
They only support it for World of Warcraft and general battle.net authentication. My guess is because it costs them real money for that service, which a WoW subscription would support, but a game like Diablo III will not.

A blue post, if to be believed, recently stated not one "hacked" account was one with an authenticator.

I still think they have a huge gaping security hole and they are either unaware or are hiding it.
My account was hacked a year or so back. I could find no excuse for it. I wasn't even active in wow at the time. Had a good pw. I guarantee my system was clean. I had a folder full of phishing emails which I collected because it amused me.
edit: did not have authenticator, but did after that. No hacks since.
Bnet has always had more leaks than the Iraqi navy. I remember the WoW Bnet merger. Never got Blizzard related spam before it. About a week after I was getting spam up the wazoo. And unless Blizzard wants to provide authenticators for free then fuck them. Spend some of that massive war chest on some goddamned security.

But apparently "default settings will cause damage to your videocard via runaway heat generation" is just swell with you.
