Blizzard Battle.net Users: CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD NOW

SUMMARY

http://siliconangle.com/blog/2012/08/10/north-american-blizzard-players-swept-up-in-massive-hack-that-also-breached-authenticators/

"Some data was illegally accessed, including a list of email addresses for global Battle.net users, outside of China. For players on North American servers (which generally includes players from North America, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia) the answer to the personal security question, and information relating to Mobile and Dial-In Authenticators were also accessed. Based on what we currently know, this information alone is NOT enough for anyone to gain access to Battle.net accounts."

Blizzard uses sensible protections on passwords, such as cryptographic hashes, but given enough time even encrypted passwords can be broken. It is true that what the attackers currently have is not enough for them to access accounts, soon it may be if they are determined enough and MMO game players are low-hanging-fruit for gold farmers and many scams.
