Diablo III Hacking? [May 21, 2012, 10:33 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.
Just posted this on bnet...
I would imagine there's no way this is a client side issue...
but today I accidently (followed up by tests on my end to ensure I wasn't loosing my mind) logged into D3 with cap locks on. That means it's not case sensitve. If this is the case (no pun intended) it would make brute force attacks much more effective.
**** Nevermind, I guess, based on another poster Blizzard doesn't use case sensitive passwords... that, I don't agree with... but, each his own I guess.
