Suspicious Activity - Blue Tracker

#0 - Sept. 3, 2010, 7:24 a.m.

i was just playing, hopping between toons and then logged out briefly to check my email. immediately i get an email saying that my account has been locked due to "suspicious activity" and that i have to change my password. which is all good, i did that and could log back in.
but i guess im just a bit curious as what defines suspicious activity? as far as i can tell i was the only one using my account and it seemed fairly random to me. my first impression was that maybe this was a scam email until i tried to log back into game and it didnt let me.
why would security target my account?

Do you use a proxy just sometimes, Ren?

And was this regarding your Battle.net account - vs. your play account?

Well, something looked odd to the system, I really cannot tell what.

Battle.net is a slightly different animal than your actual account, it certainly couldn't hurt to verify your system and email security. It's possible someone attempted access and didn't get in.

I'd give this a read, also - make sure that all your software is up to date, like Flash, etc.
