Ummm, no.

I'd need to verify that - that is NOT at all common, very hard to do and the number of confirmed man in the middle attacks we've had to date is minuscule. Unless they all had the same virus, which is possible I suppose, this is just highly unlikely.

Far more common are players claiming to have an authenticator - and not.

Did you actually have a question we could help you with?

Q u o t e:
yeah soz i lost track of what i was doing i jst want to know does my old e-mail address get removed totally or does it stay on record? cos it is getting quite anoying geting 4-5 phish mails to my old e-mail address everyday claiming i did this i did that claiming to be from blizzard when i know full well that they are not and am i doing the right thing forwarding them to hacks@blizzard.com?


We keep a record of it yes, but that wouldn't be on the account presently. We also have no connection with those emails, so I'm not quite following here.

Any of those - no matter where they go can be forwarded to hacks. Actually, it just so happens you get them and play WoW. They send those out to millions daily, many have never had an account.
