Hey um, my account has been hacked.. again..
My toon has been deleted pretty sure, this is the only toon i can use on the forums.
and in the part where you select the toon you wish to use, there are like 5 others in the list all on different realms and all level 1. Ether my toon was deleted, or you can't post as them if your account has been permanently banned.. this is so unfair, because i've just got my account back from having an unauthorized authenticator being attached, now it has been completely hacked and banned!

This is the only toon i can use to post, my main toon is Deltäz on the Nagrand realm.

I've sent blizzard an email about it already, but i thought i'd come cry on here, let you guys know if you see some random level 1 characters doing something wrong it could be my account and im sorry ;(

I'm also scanning my computer and i believe i have a trojan of some sort..

Oh my.

Yes indeed, they've had a jolly good time with your account, haven't they.

I am so sorry, I know this is frustrating.

First and foremost, you have GOT to find out how they keep getting your information. These guys are like bad pennies and will continue to come back to the well if they can.

Scanning your system is very important, but don't forget your email. Email accounts can become compromised as well.

We are indeed temporarily out of stock on the authenticators, but hopefully there will be a fresh supply in soon, I'd just keep checking on that.

In the meantime, I'd recommend going over the sticky below very carefully and also making sure your email is secure (and that they haven't forwarded it on you). It probably wouldn't hurt to setup a brand new unrelated email for this purpose from a known secure system. One advantage of Battle.net is that changing the account name is as easy as changing an email.

This account has indeed been banned from the activities that took place. That can be dealt with and you can drop an email to wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com to have it reviewed.

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.

Q u o t e:
Yeah i have just made a new email address and changed my battle.net to that one.
So what now? is there something you can do with my account?

Also, has anything from my level 22 Paladin been taken? Deleted????


Well, he looks dressed, but damages would be common.

All that can be looked into once you are secure and back in control of the account.

Q u o t e:
How can i be in control of my account if it's banned?
I have control of my account to the extent that i can log into my battle.net account and do all that, but i can't log into my WoW, it's banned


You need to follow the directions I gave you above, Deltaz.

Make certain of your security - and email wowaccountadmin@blizzard.com to review this.
