If you didn't add the authenticator, someone else did and that means they have your password and ID and you've been compromised, Gadalir.

First step is to make certain of your system and email security, next is regain control of the account and finally restoration. It is vitally important that the source of this be found or the chances are VERY high it will happen again.

I'll post fuller instructions below.

----------------

If an account has been merged to a Battle.net, or if an email has been changed, or an authenticator added to the account (not the player's own) one of your first stops is going to be Billing. They need to get those sorted out first so the rest of the processes can continue.

    Players in Argentina should call 0800-333-0778
    All other international players should call: (949) 955-0283


Now, it's very very important to figure out where the security breach occurred. If they CAN get back in, they WILL be back. That, unfortunately, you can count on.

These two stickies should prove helpful.

You may also want to look into getting an authenticator for your account. It's no substitute for good security habits, but it will help keep them out of your WoW account.

I do wish you all the very best on a speedy recovery.

Q u o t e:
Sorry, that doesn't completely wash. I have an authenticator and I have not been able to sign into WoW for 2 days now. I have not seen anything posted by Blizz letting everyone know that they are still working on the authentication system since the post on the login screen Monday.
My wife's account doesn't have an authenticator and she can login without any problems. Same server, btw.

If anyone knows where Blizz as addressed this recent problem would you please let me know. I'm not very forum savvy and may not have been able to find the post myself.


Are you getting a specific error message, Mini? And is it the account you are posting under?
