Even if your computer was completely unprotected- which it doesn't sound like was the case- it still doesn't give anyone the right to invade it. (Seriously, what kind of screwed up logic would that be? Person A left computer vulnerable therefore Hacker B has a green light to invade, because Person A deserves it?)<BR/><BR/>Sometimes in the backwash of guilt and foolish-feeling we forget these activities are ILLEGAL and that leaving your door open does not make it ok for someone to rob you. True fault still lies with the scammers and malicious programmers.<BR/><BR/>Short version: Don't beat yourself up too hard. :)Lilivatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08484748124475558224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812976357150095653.post-35359949156056287312009-04-02T17:20:00.000-04:002009-04-02T17:20:00.000-04:00Y'gotta learn to be suspicious of everything - lik...Y'gotta learn to be suspicious of everything - like me!Keevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15076646779679387588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812976357150095653.post-90741408165434581702009-04-02T15:56:00.000-04:002009-04-02T15:56:00.000-04:00I'm going to go ahead and buck the trend here, Bel...I'm going to go ahead and buck the trend here, Bell. <BR/><BR/>Be hard on yourself.

As most look like they were written by a complete idiot. The fake Blizzard email does not.<BR/><BR/>I even work in the security industry and I half thought about replying. The only thing that stopped me was a my "security angle" sitting on my shoulder telling me to google the message first. Sure enough I found the exact same message posted elsewhere (maybe even in the real wow forum) in which it was denounced as a fraud.<BR/><BR/>Good luck and let's hope nothing ill comes of this.<BR/><BR/>And for the rest of you reading, for God's sake, buy a damn authenticator.Felkannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812976357150095653.post-21760018339668776972009-04-02T10:06:00.000-04:002009-04-02T10:06:00.000-04:00The people that want our accounts are very crafty,...The people that want our accounts are very crafty, and you should in no way beat yourself up for thinking you got an official e-mail. You're doing all you can to rectify the situation. I think you caught it in time. So long as you are able to catch someone at Blizzard and get your information changed, and hook up an authenticator soon, you should have no problem.<BR/><BR/>If you still have the e-mail, Blizzard has been asking people to forward them on (sorry I can't remember the address to send it to!) from the welcome message at log in.

Don't tell me you gave them your password aswell. Blizzard already knows all about your account and they will not have you type it into some web page for confirmation :)<BR/><BR/>Also, any half-decent mail client can tell you where was that mail really sent.
