Yesterday my account that I had just made and just started botting on locked for suspicious activity as someone was trying to hack my account. I caught it 5 minutes after it happened and changed my password. Now I was wondering If Blizzard does this on purpose so when they catch you botting and then say we know you had control over the account and banned you. I have held off on botting since and am waiting awhile. Has anyone experienced this or am i just paranoid.

Wondering if Blizzard does this as a precaution

About 1 year ago I got same thing, 2-3 times a day after I dc I had to reset my password. This was going for about 1-2 weeks. I thought my provider was the problem for getting some random IP's after dc's. The account was my main account (5 years old) with a lot of geared chars on different servers. So beside playing the game I start to sell my gold. I was selling 100k at a time and sometimes more. After 5-6 month I start getting those dc's and passw change required. The last 600k trade was the killer. I was banned for trading gold.
As a response to my tichet I was getting the usual +the fact that they know I havn't been hacked, so it was perma ban.
On same bettle.net I had another account. After the ban I start playing on that one but the dc's and passw change req was still going. So I made a ticket about that I'm getting dc and my passw change required. I didn't get any response but after next day the dc's and passw stuff Stoped.
This was my xp with password change problem....
So yea, It's possible that they will do that to avoid the" I was hacked ticket".
Have a nice day.

this happened to me as well.
a year or two ago, there was a phase during playing/botting wow that my main account would CONSTANTLY get locked. like i'd log in, it'd lock, reset pass, log in fine. but if i logged out, it'd happen again.
this carried on for a month+ then stopped randomly.
so yeah, it must be some sort of method or something, i don't see how it could just randomly happen.

Yeah, could be a keylogger installed on your computer, so it doesn't matter how many times you change your password. Definitely scan the hell out of it.
then people are stupid to download the keylogger i would notice if something is phisie or keylogging i would never instal that
