Am I being hacked?

Hi,

I keep getting warnings from Blizzard about 3 hour suspensions for misuse of my account - apparantly, I'm suspected of gold trading or something. Except, I haven't been. When I report a possible hack to Blizzard, I eventually get a message saying that nothing has been taken from my account, so the issue is resolved.

So either Blizzard is suspending me for no reason, or Blizzard can't figure out how I'm getting hacked - either way, how do I resolve this problem?

Any help appreciated,

Grum

You haven't noticed a whole lot of level ones on realms you've never played on, Grum?

The security of your account is your responsibility. If you allow either intentionally - or unintentionally your account to be used for nefarious purposes, there are going to be repercussions.

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.
