I'm sure it helped the bottom line at Blizzard selling a bunch of authenticators for the past few months. I think the physical authenticators are fine only because Vasco is subcontracted for it and the database for the serials isn't on Blizzards servers. Mobile app and dial auths are screwed and will need a software update because the hashes can't be trusted anymore.
If you use the same secret question/answer combo as any other site then you should change that shit immediately. A game where you let people create money out of nothing, no way anyone would try to hack that.
Authenticators were never bulletproof, but two factor authentication is much better than single factor. You know that right? As it stands, using SRP is nearly impossible to break. Unless they also have access to the salted-hash tables for each users password. I know what two factor authenticator is and you typed this as I was preparing a follow up. Judging by the post they do have access to at least some of the hashed password tables. The point was that both people here and Blizzard kept blaming users for what was possibly an internal security problem. Maybe it was mostly the users fault but this should give anyone pause about making stupid assumptions in the future. They say they detected the intrusion on August 4th, who knows how long they had access before being detected? I hope they get roasted by shareholders.
