Just today, I received a whisper from USaarmory saying I can claim a "mysterious" prize at --<REMOVED>-- because i was a blizzard "lucky player".
I entered the site, logged in, verified my identity by putting my name and security question/answer in, and it said in three days I'll get a free unicorn zebra. GREAT!
My cousin Zach says it could be a hack! I changed my password, but I gave them my security stuff! OH NOES!!!
Will I be hacked? Can I prevent it??

As other posters have mentioned, Vynsth, the whisper you received was indeed a scam. All in-game contact from Blizzard will have the blue “Blizz” logo next to their chat or attached to an in-game mail.

If you have not already, I’d very much encourage you to change your login information and registered email address, as well as scan your computer for any potential malware or keyloggers. The following thread contains a wealth of information on how to help locate and remove these malicious programs.
