Password Reset / Account Compromised?

#0 - June 10, 2010, 8:54 p.m.

I've been on WoW without disconnecting for about 5 hours now, but when I left the client up to take my girlfriend home it auto-logged me out. When I tried to log back in the password was invalid. I went to my email and noticed that there were 2 emails from Blizzard. One was really fishy looking (writing was pretty unprofessional) - it was saying that the account had been compromised. The other one that I'm positive was from Blizzard said that the password had been reset because a report of being compromised.

I then went to battle.net and changed my password along with the password to my email address. It hasn't been changed again... yet. I also ran a scan on my computer and found nothing.

After this I was reminded that earlier today around the time that the emails were sent, I decided to delete a lvl 20 Hunter character of mine (as I have no intent on leveling him anymore). Before I deleted him I sold all his belongings and sent the money to my main character. I'm just curious if that could of been a 'red flag' to blizzard that I was being hacked?

Or...do you think I really am being hacked?

Well, someone apparently thinks you were and reported it in connection with a guild bank theft.

Looks like you may play from various locations from time to time, any chance any of those systems may be compromised?
