Battle.net announces an "important security update," revealing Blizzard has discovered "unauthorized and illegal access into our internal network." As a result, they recommend that North American users change their passwords, though they say they believe that the information retrieved "alone is NOT enough for anyone to gain access to Battle.net accounts." They also have written up an
Important Security Update FAQ with all the details on this, including the surprising news that "information was taken that could potentially compromise the integrity of North American Mobile Authenticators," which will lead to a software updates.

Looks like we now know how accounts were getting hacked all along. Blizzard probably knew a long time ago.
I'm sure it helped the bottom line at Blizzard selling a bunch of authenticators for the past few months. |
