All of the links in the email look to be valid (yes, even the hyperlinks in the email appear to direct to "worldofwarcraft.com" & "blizzard.com" domains), and the email itself appears to come from a blizzard.com email, so although I thought it was a phishing email to begin with, I wanted to bring it to your attention.
Most importantly, and I probably should have mentioned this already, but I did not request a new password from Blizzard, nor do I know the origin or reason behind this email.
Please let me know if this is something to be concerned with. I've already changed my password. Should I have any further reason for concern?
