Account Hackings - Blue Tracker

Q u o t e:
My account was recently hacked. Most of my items and gold is gone. I've heard of these incidents before. Anyways, what can I do and what can be done about it? Is there a possible recovery or am I just working with what I have left?

First and foremost you need to find out how someone got hold of your information, Fubu. We do our best to assist players in this situation, but you don't want it to happen again.

The information below should prove useful.

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

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.

Billing and Account Services
Phone Support - 1 (800) 59-BLIZZ (1 (800) 592 5499)
Live Representatives Available 7 days a week, 7am to 8pm Pacific Time
E-mail Support - [email protected]

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.
