Account theft and hacking
The first question that arises in the victim " How could this happen?". The most intelligible answer is that the most elementary theft happens when the login and password are transferred to third parties, that is, you yourself provided the attacker with the data from your account. It can be anyone (often disguised as a Blizzard employee) trying to get all the information from you. Do not, under any circumstances, ever share your login information with anyone. Blizzard always warns players - " Blizzard employees will never ask you to provide data from«.
The first steps to getting your account back is to patch up any breaches in your defenses. If your record has indeed been hacked, then check exactly how you fell for the scammers. Below is a compilation that will help you take the appropriate action.
Reasons for account hacking
"Phishing" emails
"Phishing" emails emails is one of the most popular scam tactics. Most records are stolen precisely because of such letters. We are talking about messages and links leading to the site, which are very similar to the official ones from Blizzard. Most often, such letters come in broken lines. English language, so if you specified the Russian language in your account settings, and you received a letter in a completely different language, this is the first reason to be wary.
In such messages, as expected, you need to go to the site and enter the username and password for your account, after which this data instantly falls into the hands of attackers.
How to recognize "phishing"?
- in " phishing» email asking you for your username and password (a real email from Blizzard NEVER will not ask you to provide any data)
- in " phishing» the letter frightens you with urgent need and violations of the rules (for example: an investigation has been initiated into your account regarding the distribution of hacker software; you will be required to immediately provide a username and password, otherwise sanctions up to deletion will follow)
- « phishing» Letters can lure bonuses and specials. offers (for example: early access to the Beta version; ; free )
- « phishing» letters may contain spelling, grammatical or punctuation errors (if the letter contains at least one error, this is pure scam)
- in " phishing"letters may be asked to go to the site and enter their data there (in no case should you do this; to protect yourself and yours, turn on the browser" phishing» filter)
- in " phishing» letters, the sender's address can be very similar to the official one (it is very important to check the details of the letter to ensure the authenticity of the letter)
Not only can email be dangerous, but in-game emails can also be sent (allegedly) from Blizzard employees. Don't fall for any of these tricks if you don't want to lose your account.
Computer Security - Account Security
Before playing, make sure that:
- your password is quite complex (use letters, numbers and symbols to avoid obvious password guesses; never use passwords like "qwerty", "poiuytrewq", etc.)
- do not share your account with someone else (firstly, this is prohibited by the terms of use, and secondly, this greatly undermines security)
- never store account information on electronic media, such as: CD, text documents and so on (it is very important to write down the data from the account in a notebook or notebook so as not to create problems for yourself)
- never tell anyone your password (neither in the game, nor by mail, nor by any other means)
- do not post on the forums email, login or password (this will significantly reduce the security of the account)
- it is strictly forbidden to unpack archives of the *exe format (these programs are often aimed at stealing personal data and this can be not only an account)

Exciting game battles for you on Battle.net!
Recently, World of Warcraft players have been faced with the need to merge (attach) their WoW accounts to their battle.net account. This requirement put forward by Blizzard as part of the introduction of a single authorization for all game projects developed by the company, both already released and for future ones. It was possible to play WoW without merging accounts until November 12, 2009, and after that date it became impossible. Association mechanism World of Warcraft accounts from battle.net simple, as well as the sequence of actions.
Account of a true fan of Blizzard and World of Warcraft :)
First, we need to visit the battle.net site and, forgetting about wow for a while, follow the instructions to create a new account for ourselves. Here it is important to realize that now your login will be the email that you specify during registration. It may be the same as that specified by you and in your account, or it may be different. The most important thing is that it be reliable, protected strong password and available only to you. For example, it is not recommended to use a work email, the email given to you by your ISP. After all, both the job and the provider can change, and along with their loss, access to this mailbox will also be lost. It's best to register new battle.net account to your mailbox of one of the well-known and reliable companies that provide free email services. For example Gmail, Yandex or Mail.ru Choose something to your taste from an existing mailbox, or register a new one.
Next, being the owner of the new battle.net account and logging in (previously, you will be sent a letter to the mailbox you specified to check its existence), look for the button " Attach a World of Warcraft account"and enter the data: which region your account belongs to, wow account login and password (the button is located at the top, if you are asked for a game key, then you used the wrong link). If you play Russian official servers and your account is European or Russian, then you need to choose Europe. Voila, nothing complicated. On the email to which the WoW account was registered, you will receive confirmation that the operation was successful in the future, in order to play wow you will need to enter the name of the battle.net account, which looks like an email and a password to it.
If you have merged multiple World of Warcraft accounts with one battle.net account, you will be prompted on the login screen to choose which wow account you want to use. The only nuance that surprised me is the ease with which the merge operation takes place. It is enough to know the username and password of an account in order to connect it to your battle.net account An attacker, for example, can do the same with accounts trusted by his friends. Now, for that to manage your wow account(for example, in order to change the password) we need to visit not http://www.wow-europe.com (or the site corresponding to your region) as before, but we need to go to the site http://eu.battle.net After a successful account merging procedure, you will receive a funny pet penguin via in-game mail. Also, it is worth mentioning that if you have several WoW accounts in one battle.net account, you can play two windows at the same time just like before.
