Retrieving your account credentials is a different story since there's tons of ways someone can target you. Phishing site, java driveby through a welcome page from a public wifi, or the auth app sends the account email with a 4+ digit as the 2 factor auth (2FA).

You could've been a random target, Blizzard made you susceptible to be a target, or you accidentally/purposely became a target. Either way, shit happens.


Its a phone app I still use it from time to time for D3 when I'm bored. Man in the middle would generally only occur if I used the app while on public wifi, which I've never done anyways, I almost never play games outside of my private network or a friends.

Wardriving with python and aircrack-ng are pretty easy to learn. Safest way to secure your own internet is to deny all MAC addressess, allow certain MAC addresses. They can be spoofed, but good luck spoofing the correct address.

You obviously haven't read a single damn post I linked you.

You don't get it. Your judgements have exactly zero relevance. You deciding whether or not someone deserved something means nothing to anyone here. I don't know you. I assume no one here knows you. Your value calls mean nothing.

The point is for folks to change all of their passwords if they had made similar accounts as I have. You presenting the same argument as if it is somehow a counterargument is silly.

You had made exactly two posts in support forum this morning when i read yours here.

the first was you passing judgement on someone that their English wasn't decent enough. The second was you again passing judgement that someone deserved whatever they got. The third here was you stating you would find it "funny" if people got banned. I don't need to root any further than that. And have no desire to, becuase I don't care about you or your opinion.

No one elected you judge guy. And no one cares about your "opinion". Stick to the facts and be of use, otherwise do yourself a favor and shut up...because no one cares about your opinion except yourself.

I must've passed your reply somewhere when the page breaks. I need one long, continuous page of posts for threads like these.

If you bother to look at any of the pages, I have discussions inside of this thread that were created because of the vagueness of your initial post. You coming here to tell people to change their passwords without a reason and telling everyone you only play here leaves people to believe "Oh, Nostalrius admins must be doing something fishy server-side". You didn't pass judgment, but you already allowed users to think this way even though Viper shot it down instantly.

If you want to go ahead and look at my posts from today, then yes I can tell you that I have not been helpful today whatsoever beyond the time you made this post. If you wish for me to explain about that guy I hated on because he deliberately spammed the forum and caused a staff member to delete all 9-10 threads he created to bring attention to his initial thread ... then yeah, you got me red-handed. I am filled with hate in moments where it is deserved.

Either way, I'm sure you didn't want the person above's opinion either. Why don't you talk with him instead?

Always used MAC filtering.
