I dunno what would give you that impression. The Blizzard Store had sold out of them for a little while a year or two ago, but they're incredibly successful, at least at protecting your account. It generates a 6 digit code that changes every minute. It's pretty much impossible for someone to get into your account without your authenticator, even if they have your username and password. And it's $6.50. If anything, Blizzard just needs to publicize it more. It's ultimate account security at hardly any cost, and like I said, if everyone got one of these there would be a lot less gold spam once the suppliers start running out of supply.

And I think the best way they could go about getting people to use these things would be to make it policy that if your account is stolen, your characters and items are not restored. It would free up a lot of Blizzard's resources for other legitimate problems instead of them having to help dumbasses who get their accounts stolen. But they wont do that because they would probably lose subscribers because too much of their user base is made up of these dumbasses.

I thought I had read somewhere that they were easily hacked. I could be wrong, its been a while.

This.

I feel if your account was hacked, 99% of the time it's nothing more than said 'x' user being a retard and either clicking on a link that has a logger, or simply having a retarded password or something of the such. I've never had any account stolen ever, so I can't realate. I feel bad, but at the same time it probably is slightly your own fault somewhere along the line.

I did notice yesterday when I logged into WoW in-game they had a message about Hackers figuring out more and more ways recently to get into people's accounts. Good times.

That seems highly unlikely but if you have an article or something on it I'd love to read it.

As far as I've heard, they are nearly impossible to hack if at all. Like K_A said, you would have to actually have the authenticor itself given that it's a random generated code that updates itself regularly and you cannot change account information without having that code. It's basically a refreshing encryption that is only visible on the thumb drive looking thing.

The only way I could see a hacker ever getting around an authenticator would be for them to directly hack Blizzard's servers, figure out the serial number of your authenticator from their servers/database, and figure out the algorithm for your specific authenticator from their servers/database. And if someone had the capability to even hack Blizzard's servers to that level, I would imagine authenticators are the least of their worries.

So has Blizzard helped you out at all? I would argue that after paying hundreds of dollars endorsing their product they owe it to you to absolutely give your property back which was stolen while under their supervision. Spin it on them if they try dicking around with you.
