Can anyone explain to me why would Blizz take an ability that had only 2 seconds to begin with and now reduce it to one second? How does this make any logical sense? I mean by the time you activate it, it’s over. There’s no benefit whatsoever for having an ability like this when it’s been nerfed to shit. This type of skill I do not waste my time with if it has no benefit at all to you or the party. blizz sucks ass!
I told you not to buy the game because you have no choice in the matter. You are forced to patch it when Blizzard says so, and regardless of whether you agree or disagree.

Have fun with your game.

If you have been hacked, and have an authenticator, then you have much worse problems on your hand than losing your Diablo 3 items. The "hacker" would have to have real time access to what's happening and being input into your computer. The authenticator code refreshes every 30s or so, that's the absolute maximum (if the code was just refreshed) amount of time they have to see that code and attempt to access your account.
Unless they bypass it entirely, such as the session id stealing that was rumored to be happening.

Yeah, if they buy them in bulk, I think it would be reasonable for them to do that, especially since they are charging full retail price for digital copies. At the least they could include them in retail boxes, or maybe collectors ones.

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.

You're right. It was in a different article under "Op ed".

I got lost in all the Diablo3 posts, and it didn't show up in forum search for my nick, which confused me further. It's still there though.

There's a stunning amount of ignorance in regards to the progress virus writers made since 2005. People still think that they only have a virus if they "notice a slowdown or crashes or internet activity".

They don't understand that most viruses now are rootkits. Most antiviruses and conventional "scanners" are 100% helpless against them.

The only thing that's worked for me lately in "rooting" them out, is Combofix by "sub", obtainable from "Bleeping Computer".

I really wish an AV company would hire that "sub" guy because he actually manages to accomplish what Symantec, ESET, McAfee, Kaspersky, can't.

They're great at cleaning floppy boot sectors from viruses written 18 years ago, though.

theyarecomingforyou,

I was not and am not looking to pick a fight, nor was I in any way trying to come off the way you colorfully described me there.

I stick by my comments and advice about protecting ones self. At the end of the day, your brothers account has been hacked. Even if I'm wrong, and 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".

You don't know that at all. It's interesting that you rule out any possibility that Blizzard might have a security hole, especially when many people are posting that they've had their account hacked after playing public games. You arrogantly cast judgement on others without any evidence, deeming everybody to be less knowledgeable and less worthy than you. All hail Cram - arbiter of humanity, knower of all, that whose blessed intellect shall lead us to the light and lift up the unworthy. All hail Cram - condemner of the wicked, executioner of the pitiful, master of all creation. All hail Cram.

1) an authenticator should be/better be required for accounts using the RMAH. The point made about a potential nightmare for Blizzard when the RMAH is valid, even though that nightmare is 99.999% result of user error (sharing passwords/virus's/trojans/malware/enter 50 other reasons here).
But what if somebody doesn't use the RMAH? They could still have their account hacked, their items stolen and the thief could then sell them on their authenticator protected account. A more sensible approach would be for Blizzard to stop dropped items being visible to other players and requiring ALL trades to take place through the AH or the trade window - that way they would at least have a record of it, providing there isn't a security hole that bypasses the entire system.

2) I have no seen credible reports or proof of authenticated accounts being hacked. A blue post, if to be believed, recently stated not one "hacked" account was one with an authenticator.
There was a forum post about it on the Blizzard forums but it was deleted (not just locked like most reasonable forums). Censorship rules! And the authenticator has been hacked before, so it's certainly possible (and it didn't involve the elaborate doomsday scenario you described).

Well they messed up this patch royally.

Lag that didn't exist before, the AH is broken even more. Can't imagine anyone trusting Blizzard with a real money AH, when they aren't able to run one with imaginary gold in it.

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.

That is an interesting point about spam. After the merger, our emails became our account names. Which I did not like one bit.

Also fucking lol at the blizz fanboys coming out to defend them. Mighty blizzard is infallible! IT'S ALWAYS THE USER! Keep thinking that, sheep. Use more general percentage statistics too, makes you look smarter.

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.
You're really trying to play the "blame the victim" game? How pathetic and immature! You have absolutely no idea about his computing habits. Flash and Windows automatically update themselves and he doesn't use torrent sites (I have no intention of asking him about his porn habits); he also uses anti-virus / anti-malware software. None of the other games he plays have ever been hacked. Meanwhile the Diablo III forums are filled with posts about people who have had their accounts hacked. I also notice you ignored the fact that many people with an authenticator have had their accounts hacked.

If security is such an issue then they should have include an authenticator with the game and mandated its use. The reality is that Blizzard is not doing enough to secure its products when it knows that they are going to be targeted dramatically more than other games. I don't understand why people are trying to play the "defend the multi-billion dollar company" game when Blizzard has brought this upon itself by monetising the loot system and not adequately securing accounts.
It's not lightly that I would defend Blizzard, but in this case I think your brother is the one that screwed up for the most part. Security issues with this game are exactly the same as any other MMO. There may be more people trying to hack this one, but the methods are the same. If someone gets a keylogger or other form of malware onto your system, then you're going to lose your account. Use the authenticator if you want to protect yourself. Blizzard made them available, why didn't he use them if he values his stuff? I still haven't seen any confirmation of anyone using an authenticator getting hacked.

Two more opinions about battle.net and security:

1) an authenticator should be/better be required for accounts using the RMAH. The point made about a potential nightmare for Blizzard when the RMAH is valid, even though that nightmare is 99.999% result of user error (sharing passwords/virus's/trojans/malware/enter 50 other reasons here).

2) I have no seen credible reports or proof of authenticated accounts being hacked. A blue post, if to be believed, recently stated not one "hacked" account was one with an authenticator. Let's forget that point though. If you have been hacked, and have an authenticator, then you have much worse problems on your hand than losing your Diablo 3 items. The "hacker" would have to have real time access to what's happening and being input into your computer. The authenticator code refreshes every 30s or so, that's the absolute maximum (if the code was just refreshed) amount of time they have to see that code and attempt to access your account.

Basically what this means is that this person is watching everything you're doing. Enter a credit card number/expiry and security number, that hacker has it. Banking information? Vulnerable. Email access, he's got it. If you have been hacked and have an authenicator, I recommend an immediate high level format of your hard drive and to contact anyone (banks etc) that may be involved with any information you have given out over the Internet.
