Q u o t e:
And how would you all recommend I get better account security? I think buying a game and paying subscription is enough to get a secure account, so I won't buy an authenticator.
Our servers, Elthalas, are secure. They are not getting your information from us.
Yes, you purchased the game and yes you pay a monthly subscription but we can't monitor you and prevent you from giving out your account information, answering phishing attempts or picking up malicious programs or accessing your account from an unsecured computer.
We have some protections in place but there is a limit to what can be done from our end regarding your behavior.
Q u o t e:
I haven't logged into my account in over a month, pretty much ruling out a keylogger. Besides, a keylogger is a virus, and my computer is virus free. I know its a forum and I can't prove this, but I am definitely not new to using a computer.
How long it has been since you last logged in is irrelevant. Keyloggers and other malicious programs can reside on your system for awhile. They can also gain your information but not utilize it for weeks or months. It should also be pointed out that a keylogger isn't necessarily detected as a virus, nor are all methods of detection guaranteed to find malicious programs such as this.
We recommend that you use multiple methods to scan for these programs.

but I still wish blizzard had operating hours that suited my time zone a bit better.
That I can understand, Elthalas, please note that our hours used to be 9-5 AM PST Monday - Friday. They have been expanded and are now 8 AM to 8 PM PST and are 7 days a week. :) I"m sorry for what inconvenience this has caused you.
Good luck on a speedy resolution.
