Hi, I am currently getting hacked and would like to get help in removing the person from my account so I can continue playing.

The realm is Shu'Halo and the primary character is Eyecon. Its 10 characters I have on that realm.

I'd recommend changing your password immediately and trying to log in, that should boot them off.

Unless they have a real-time way to obtain your new password, that should also keep them off.

I don't see an authenticator on here, at least at this point.

Well, let me backtrack, they did add one.

I've locked this since they were actively in the account. Please check your email for further instructions.

Right now, security is the main concern so they can't get back in. If they can....they WILL be back, that is very likely.

This sticky may be useful.

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 just got hacked on my account too. if you can please take the authenticator off that would be extremely helpful. i know everything is gone off of my account cause i checked wow-head but i would still like to get my account straight...


They don't seem to be in your account at the moment, I've asked this be removed and a new password sent to you.

As with the post above, finding the source of this is vital to it not recurring.

They might have changed the email address because I cannot "Retrieve" my passowrd or reset it, when it asks for the email, first/last name it says it does not match. If youu please can, send it tot he email that has been there since the creation of the account please.


Ok, I think this has been re-arranged for you now, Eyecon, please check your email for the instructions and a new password.

Now, since they were in the account, we locked this for your protection, but that is what that email is for, instructions for both security and unlocking.

Q u o t e:
my account has also been hacked. my main character is Insani, a lvl 80 druid and he is on the realm Aman'thul. my account was locked due to the hackers and was wondering if you could unlock this account for me. if any additional information is required please just let me know.

i have also already undertaken all steps suggested by Blizzard on your support website in securing my computer and making sure it is safe.

i have also made this trial account under the same name and details so that i can post on the forums.


This looks to have happened back in April, Lolcatz.

You need to email Account Administration about this. They can be reached at [email protected].

thank you for your speedy response. :D

well now i have a time-frame :) i took a 6 month break from wow over the last 6 months so did not know exactly when it had happened. so thank you very much.

i e-mailed account admin 4 days ago and only posted here hoping i could get a little extra information.

again, thank you very much


It may take them a few days, especially on one this old. You did email from the registered email on the account?
