At least this happened before the release of MoP.

We can at least be thankful that Blizzard is less lazy than Sony was with PSN (storing their passwords in plain text)

I'll be changing my password and updating my security questions as suggested, but overall I'm not very worried about this

Some data was illegally accessed, including a list of email addresses for global Battle.net users, outside of China.

Seems a little suspicious

it looks like the word twink has gone extinct, given most of them are now either autistic, in europe, or under 13 years old

This is good news for people who have bought accounts and would like to change the secret question and answers to be 100% sure of preventing recalls.

I'm glad to see the measures they're taking for our security...kinda makes me feel I'm getting my money's worth for once (in regards to dealing with Blizzard).

autistic people/13 y/os/EU people are always way behind the social curve

I think you missed the part where I mentioned US players starting this trend but its ok.

US starts the social trends, and then autisticpeople/<13y/o/EU follows them years later.
