Blizzard Servers Hacked, Diablo 3 Account details leaked

Ok – this one is not Guild Wars 2 related, but it’ll affect several people in the Guild so I figured it important enough to add to the site.

The US BattleNet servers at Blizzard were hacked this week, with the intruders stealing email addresses, the encrypted form of passwords, authenticator token codes, and the security question/answer for lost password/account verification. Billing details were not touched/still considered safe.

If you had a Diablo 3 account on the US Servers, your details are likely to have been some of those stolen. Their FAQ for how to deal with the issues caused by this incident is here: http://sea.battle.net/support/en/article/important-security-update-faq
