Hacked on my birthday... Really?!!?!

#0 - May 17, 2010, 6:42 p.m.

As the title says.
I woke up this morning, after sleeping in to find a message on my Droid that my account has had a password change. Decided i should probably investigate and logged onto wow to find that my 2 main's have been stripped of anything sell-able.

I don't even really play that much but my brother talked me into playing again, and just renewed for the month.

Filled out a GM ticket, didn't get to talk to a GM was just rewarded with a survey. I just want to know what the deal is.

Oh I have since put my authenticator back on my account.

Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that =(. I would like to wish you a happy birthday though, despite any setbacks.
