I didn't get banned, but...

[socrlax24]

They made me change my password? When I logged in, it gave me this message:

 

[wozoki]

huh. Never seen that one before o.0

 

[jdizzy2010]

you must have logged in from a different ip. its a security measure to protect accounts from being hacked.

 

[socrlax24]

The problem with that, jdizzy, is that I never did personally, and I have my authenticator set to require the code upon every login... Plus I have SMSProtect set up, and I never got any messages about authenticator removal, and my authenticator was removed...

 

[caesar85]

maybe u did not try to log in from a different IP but obviously someone else tried to do. Somebody might be trying to hack ur account form a diff IP.

That is why u got the message. Change ur password asap.

 

[socrlax24]

I changed my password, but why did it remove my authenticator? and now, the website won't send me the verification email to re-add the authenticator!

 

[socrlax24]

I think I'll just steer clear of botting for a week or so...

isn't that the standard procedure, if you log in from another ip range? i am pretty sure.
example... you log in from german, munich sinc 6 month. now you go on vacation to greece, to support the economy (just kding), wow will automatically "ban" you, to make sure you are the legal owner of the account, and not an account hacker.

 

[socrlax24]

Well, I never personally logged in from a different IP. Unless my router changed its IP address on me, which I wouldn't put past it (it's a piece of shit). But then if that IS the case, where did my Authenticator go?

 

[caesar85]

there are some trojans which changes ur IP to another country so that u may never know. Scan ur computer against such malicious software.

 

[willthepriest]

I have this every time I login from a different country, nothing to worry about really

so it seems obvious.... auth is gome, logged in from another IP..

check your computer for virusses. somebody got your acc data, and used it.

logged in from far away, unbound your authentificator, who knows whatelse.

Since the hacking incident into Blizzard's account information I've noticed that my account doesn't ask for my authenticator information either. However, when I try to log in to battle.net, it does ask for my authenticator information. I wonder if it may have something to do with the incident they incurred?
