Blizzard / Battlenet security compromised

Now before any of you [combative and unnecessary commentary removed] pipe in about me having something on my pc there isn't. I run 5 different viri, adware, and malware checkers every other day.

I also do have an authenticator.

The below email was sent to an email address ONLY Blizzard has. The computer that I game on isn't the same as the one I use for daily and business. The gaming computer isn't used for downloading any addons or net surfing. There are only two programs which have clearance to access the internet through my firewall, and no I don't use Microcrap's crappy one. It is a paid for professional one.

I do know more about computer security than probably 98% of Blizzard's employees in their Tech department. I own and run an IT company which provides that, along with other services.

I don't use or own a Visa card so I know for sure it is a fake email. That isn't a the major problem. It is that this was sent to an email account created just for WoW and the used for WoW. It is not auto checked via my email program. It is checked via web based.

How in the hell is this email account known outside Blizzard's Battle net service?
You guys either have a major security breech, Blizzard Entertainment is selling this information, or you have an employee who is accessing and is providing this information.

I've never played this game mentioned in the email. WoW is the only game installed on the gaming computer.

Now on to the email.
