Quote from: Andin;172914Too bad mate:angry: ,Hope you get ur things back on all your characters!

Just one question. How long did it take Blizz to restore your stuff and what exactly where they able to restore? I lost well over 1200g, so I hope I get that back as well and not just my items on my main char. I asked them to roll-back everything to the last maintainance day; assuming they make weekly backups it shouldn't be hard to do :unsure: .

I just received an e-mail from Blizz stating that my account is suspended pending their investigation, so you won't see me online untill this is resolved. Hopefully it won't take too long, but it's good to know they're working on it.

youlle only get blue/epics, nothing more

Make a notepad on your desktop, type in your password here.

Everytime you log on (I assume you don't do this every minute) just copy / paste in your password.

No idea if this actually is going to work since I have no idea how these keyloggers work, but if they work as they register every button you push (as it may sound from the name, keylogger) this might work out pretty good

ide like to see fingerprint acess on games... ^_^

most secure way imo...

Fingerprint access is still a password, it just links the finger to a very random sequense of 20-30 chars.

Wouldn't necessarily help you too much, since getting info from the clip board (where stuff end up between + and +) isn't hard at all. It might fool the key logger programs, but making programs that can abuse that situation is easily made (probably already exists).

Yes, that is true, but if Blizz for instance implemented a fingerprint reading system, it would be something that couldn't be sniffed (if implemented right) the same way as key strokes (or clip board), so the safety would be much better

Slightly gay though, means that everyone needs to go out and buy a finger print scanner to be able to play.

well it only costs bout 15 euros, and you can use it for multiple games or occations (dunno the right word)

Though if this would mean that the chance on being hacked would be brought back to nearly 0 than its worth it for me

Appearantly Blizz is looking in to systems like this and are checking if people are interested in buying one if they decide to implement them.

It's sad it has come to the point that these kind to things are nessecary :sad: .

The access to my account got reinstated. Still no items and gold though :sad: . I've opened a new ticket, since my old one was gone.

It looks like I'll start a new alt tomorrow when TBC arrives.
