blizzard a/c probs

[lucky]

i think my a/c got hacked......but again i hope its blizzard giving me problems. cos i bought this cool a/c on ebay the other day. i got it changed the password and played. but then after one day i had troubles logging in to the a/c sometimes i can log in sometimes it says invalid password.

but its been 2 days now and i completely cannot log in and everytime it says login error.

if it got hacked can i ask bnet to do a investigation if i can provide the last 2 passwords??? or are does bnet bother wif such stuff at all.

and i DID NOT d/l hacks or anything. and my other a/cS did not get hacked so i dun think i got a Backdoor or anything here anyone has any advice on wat i should do. The a/c costed me $75 and i would hate to lose it

thanx

Blizzard only stores the latest password. Blizzard encrypts the passwords so they cannot be viewed by someone with access to the servers. Blizzard will not recover or change a password.
If it's been on an off I'd chalk it up to server error and wait a few days. The servers have been unstable due to the latest duping spree.

Maybe Blizzard found that account on ebay too and deleted it...?

I'm just guessing there, and I doubt it anyway.

If your password was easy to guess, it may have been stolen from you:

Extreme care should be taken in choosing your password. If your password is easy to guess, someone may be able to access or steal your Battle.net account.

Bad Passwords:
Exactly match a word in the dictionary
Match a reversed word in a dictionary
Match a word in the dictionary with some or all of the letters capitalized
Match a reversed word in the dictionary with some or all of the letters reversed
Are shorter than 5 characters
Do not contain a mix of letters and numbers, or mixed letters and punctuation
Are based on the users account name, initials, or given name, or any other info about the user: SSN, license plate number, etc.
Are the word "password"
Are your own name or account name
Are common names of people or places
Are a word that can be found in ANY dictionary
Include keys in sequence on the keyboard (like QWERTY)
Include repeating sequences (like "abcabc" or "........")
Are technical jargon (dictionaries for those exist, too)
Examples of Bad Passwords:
mypasswo (plain text)
sarah5 (name based)
..... (repeating sequence)
abcabc (repeating sequence)
hi (plain text, not long enough)
h311o (common word with common letter/number substitution)
gandalf1 (Based on the name of a Character from The Hobbit)
triskeli (Based on a word from Star Trek)
Good Passwords:
Two words separated by a non-letter non-digit, like 'war3%mast' or 'cat,bear#' (note: It's a bad idea to use these exact examples) Are at least 5 characters in length and contain both numbers and letters Should not do any of the bad things listed above

Examples of Good Passwords:
Wc2!itb - Warcraft II ! is the best
W!IHN1SMA - Wow! I hope no one steals my account

ok.......the other day someone told me how to do a skill hack
and there's this guy who whispered to me saying u have admitted to cheating.would blizzard trace all a/cS that a cd-key uses and delete all the a/cS cos a fren told me
and im thinking of purcasing another a/c if that's the case i think i would juz give up diablo

1) umm I guess that's a good password except for the fact that you just mentioned it here

2) http://www.battle.net/forums/battlenet-status/posts/bg/157.shtml

3) Blizzard does not help people with account problems

4) You shouldn't buy accounts-- because things like this might happen

Accounts are linked to nothing but the characters and the password. Not the CD Key, not the IP, not the computer ID, or anything else of the user. It is for this reason that they will not help you in recovering a password: you can't prove it's yours.
