Hunting down the hacker

So I logged onto Elune today and I instantly start getting whispers from a level 1 saying he is glad Sneaky got hacked and it shows how shitty the 19 community is and how F2P's are better blah blah blah, sounded like a shoulder licking retard to me - amazing how far the word on this shit has gone

If you remember the rough time/date of the conversation, they can check through the chat logs and the IP of the user logged in at that time.

I went to bed around 3 AM the morning he leveled me (on the 30th) so that's your time/date there.

To be clear and to get everyone else out of this weird mindset in which they think that they're next for being "hacked" and are deleting their Real ID friends - what this guy did to Sneaky isn't "hacking". It's called social engineering, and he was successful because of Sneaky's account transactions, from what I understand. None of you stand the risk of being hacked. Blizzard's security doesn't allow for legitimate hacking, and if there were someone in the community that was capable of illegally accessing Blizzard's secure servers and actually hacking someone's account, it would be big, big news.

To all of you worrying, put an authenticator on your account (they're free), don't use the same password for WOW that you do for your email account tied to the WOW account, and don't sell accounts.

The reason why ppl are removing others from real id is because the hacker basically only need your first and last name. Also, from what I understand, an euthenticator won't be much of help in this particular issue - but I'm sure it's good for other hacking methods.

They're removing people as paranoia due to what happened to Sneaky. The guy who got access to Sneaky's accounts knew his names and a lot more information necessary to "recovering" the account that was on the account he bought, via Blizzard phone support. It's the same kind of scheme that Cosmo the God pulled months ago to make Paypal, Netflix, AOL and a bunch of other companies rethink their security. Nobody is going to be able to hack someone's account via first name and last name alone. I do this sort of thing for a living and I'm informed on all of the current hacking and scamming attempts in internet security. Despite my forum image and trolling nature, I can safely say that this won't happen to anyone else who isn't irresponsible enough to give out account information the way Sneaky did.

That being said, I don't blame Sneaky for what happened. The hacker was tricky and figured out how to circumvent Blizzard's security via social engineering scams. Sneaky likely didn't know this was possible with the information he gave during his transactions.

What is this "a lot more information" he knew about Sneaky? From all I know, he only knew Sneaky's first and last name, and by photoshoping he succeeded into fooling Blizzard that Sneaky's account was his.

And as I said; an authenticator won't do any difference, as the hacker persistantly will keep sending in fake-documents.
 
How was Bagel hacked? Or was it the same guy hacking Bagel?

Well to start I assume he would have to know at least Sneaky's full name, date of birth, country of origin, phone number, address and likely credit/debit card number. Blizzard's phone security isn't so lax that someone can call in and be like "HEY LOL IM FIRST NAME LAST NAME PLS RESET MY PASSWORD LOL HERE'S A DOCUMENT TO BACK IT UP".

That being said, I'm tracking down the guy that did it. I have enough information on the guy to legitimize Sneaky's claims against him.
