Hacked!


(Artwork by Maivala)

For those avid World of Warcraft players, it is unfortunate that my husband's account was hacked last night.  When he came in and told me this morning after waking me up, I just laughed and said, "Nice joke, sweetie."  We went on about it for about five minutes, as I would refuse to believe he was serious.  He is the most careful person I know when it comes to online security.  We have been playing since Vanilla and have never (not once) been hacked.
I guess it goes without saying that anything can happen.  Now he has the pleasure of dealing with Blizzard to return nearly 10 80's worth of stuff.
At least we have our authenticators ordered.  If you haven't bought one (and you're a WoW player), I suggest doing so right now.
