Just got temp locked for suspicious activity!

So I was just locked out on 2 accounts, one after the other, for suspicious activities, right after getting the blizzard downloader error. I am just wondering if the error crash from the dowloader might have caused the suspicion, or if it was something else. I was playing just fine 6-8 hrs ago.


Also I feel I should add I did just come back to the game after 2-3 months of not playing, just to play the AH. Though I did the Echoes isle stuff too. (I AH @#%@% to farm gold, trying to get more b4 cata.)

Also I used my new credit card when I renewed the accounts, so I can certainly see where blizzard might see "hey, new card paying for it, and hes doing nothing but playing the AH, must be a Chinese farmer! " Although my IP connecting to the game is the same as it was a few months ago, and they can easily see that my level one has earned over 12k gold from auctions and was created before I quit a few months ago... so one could assume I AH @!%!@ anyway.

TL;DR, Was my account lock blizzard download crash related, or something else? Did the new card / only playing the AH cause it? Obviously I had no trouble getting my account unlocked, but it does scare me a bit.

I will be calling support in the morning to see if I can get any more info.

Your connectivity looks a bit different today than yesterday, Devistates - that is likely the cause.

Resetting your password should let you back in.
