Welcome back,
We’re sorry to hear about your account compromise. It dismays us to discover
that a player’s enjoyment has been interrupted by unscrupulous thieves to
pillage accounts for their own personal gain. We are committed to protecting our
players and our games, and understand that an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure.
To that end, congratulations! You have been selected to participate in a new
account security initiative in which we send a Blizzard Authenticator to you for
free.
The Blizzard Authenticator is a small device that displays a 6-digit code, which
functions as a secondary password when you log in. The code constantly changes
and is only available to the person with the authenticator. As a result,
would-be thieves who acquire your login information are prevented from logging
in because they do not know the correct code. Attaching the authenticator to
your account will also reward your characters with the Core Hound Pup in-game
pet!
Interested? Participation is easy. Simply log in to the Blizzard Online Store,
order the authenticator for $0.00, and confirm your shipping address. Act
quickly! This invitation expires in 14 days. Steps to place an order are
included below.
Regards,
Blizzard Entertainment

Steps to Claim the Blizzard Authenticator:
An out-of-date address can prevent the authenticator from being delivered. The
authenticator should arrive in 2-3 weeks. For this initiative, Blizzard is
unable to ship to international addresses, PO boxes, APOs and FPOs (military
addresses). Although a valid payment method is required to initiate a
transaction with the online store, your card will not be charged for the
authenticator or its shipping.

2) Click “LOG IN” on the top right if you have not already logged in
3) Users with authenticators will be prompted to provide the correct code
4) Once logged in, search for "AUTHENTICATOR"

8) A “Battle.net Authenticator” with price of $0.00 should appear in your
shopping cart

10) Provide a valid method of payment (your account will not be billed for this
offer)
