#Battlenet password change update
We'll also prompt mobile authenticator users to update their authenticator software. It's also bad that they have keys for mobile authenticators which a significant amount of people are using on their bnet accounts, however, In the coming days we will implement an automated process for all users to change their secret questions and answers, as a precautionary measure. It is however still incredibly damaging that peoples secret questions and answers weren't encrypted, this along with names and emails spells bad news for a lot of peoples accounts with other services. Which you have to give them props for, it's highly unlikely nigh impossible for anyone to get their hands on your password. It's worth noting their passwords were stored using Cryptographically scrambled versions of passwords for North American players were accessed, protected by Secure Remote Password (SRP) protocol.

You can read the full statement over here, and ensure you change your password as soon as possible. Our investigation is ongoing, but so far nothing suggests that these pieces of information have been accessed.Blizzard also detail in the announcement that "cryptographically scrambled versions of passwords (not actual passwords) for players on North American servers were taken". We quickly took steps to close off this access and began working with law enforcement and security experts to investigate what happened.Īt this time, we’ve found no evidence that financial information such as credit cards, billing addresses, or real names were compromised. This week, our security team found an unauthorized and illegal access into our internal network here at Blizzard.
Even when you are in the business of fun, not every week ends up being fun. The announcement explains that the data accessed includes "the answer to the personal security question" and a list of email address for players on North American servers, as well as "information relating to Mobile and Dial-In Authenticators", but goes further to explain that none of this information by itself would be enough for someone to gain access to an account, and that to their knowledge no credit card details or other financial information was compromised. Blizzard has issued a security warning detailing "an unauthorized and illegal access" of their internal network, urging customers to change their passwords for the service, even if they haven't fallen victim.
