Of course not. The Chinese government paid for every account they gave to their imprisoned gold farmers, making ActiBlizz "leally lich"

No good, the drug test kits are made in China. It's a plot, a plot I tells ya!

I'm just gonna go on a hunch here and assume that the 'hackers' were, oh, I dunno, Chinese maybe? How long is this country (and the world for that matter) going to put up with these bullshit games China is playing?! If we kept getting caught with our virtual schlongs in the honey pot, so to speak, how long do you think they would put up with it before using it as an excuse to start a war, maybe with Taiwan? Yet we sit back and just zip our fly's back up and say, 'Oh you crazy Chinese! Always into something, eh?! Silly, at least use some lube next time, huh?' ....

China is using professional hackers like Switzerland is using its banks: for crime, for theft. But since China (and, to a far lesser extent, of course, Switzerland, too) is the last real economical super power at the moment, every country wants to befriend it. India and Brazil are up and coming huge economies, but at the moment it's China that the US dollar, the UK pound, and the European euro depend on. China knows this and bullies everyone and their mother. I don't see a way to change this, unless India and Brazil break through and become the big players in the market even sooner to rival China. Up to then, China can more or less do what it wants.

This has nothing to do with just hijacking accounts, bug exploits, keylogging people, or any of the excuses dreamed up by incompetent users. It's an actual unauthorized access of their databases that occurred on or around August 4th. Nasty bit of business.

Their wording is really vague on this which concerns me. Cryptographically scrambled means what exactly? Hashed and salted? Encrypted? ROT13? What? It's kind of important. I don't need someone to parrot industry standards to me either, the company just got breached so my faith in them following any industry standards is pretty much nil.

Oh, you mean the hacking that was denied about the session id being hijacked to grab an account?
Or is this some completely different hack that they are finally admitting?
