Battle.net attack by Hackers

Millions of players account details have been stolen in a hack attack. Blizzard had posted a message of the attack on there website. Players have been told to change their login details for the account management service. But it's been said that there is no evidence that credit card numbers and other personal details had been taken which is the number one target for a hacker to steal. Blizzard "We take the security of your personal information very seriously, and we are truly sorry that this has happened''


This is a bad time for the company as Blizzard are soon to release the ''Mists of Pandaria'' which there hope to boost users as there have drop over time. Blizzard have said as well it plans to automatically prompt its players to change their secret questions and answers, in addition to changing their passwords. The company will also warn its mobile authenticator users, who use a phone-based two-factor authentication system to access Battle.net.


Blizzard Entertainment is well know for games such as Diablo 3, Starcraft and World of Warcaft. So what do you think of the hack? Looks like I was able to post today. Will see you soon.
