Diablo 3 Accounts Being Hacked

[Deleted User]

No they weren't, they had dial up authenticators that don't work for D3..

You mean the authenticator app?

They're 3 types of Authenticators.

Android/Iphone App. Phone Dial UP/SMS, and the Physical Token.

People who have the Dial Up/SMS ones think they have an actual authenticator, and believe it or not, those do NOT work for Diablo 3.

That's odd, I've never heard of Dial Up/SMS authentication. SMS alerts maybe? But SMS alerts only alerts the user of password changes if I recall correctly. Nothing to do with log in authentication as you say.

Also, no need to bold anything. I read just fine

SMS alerts that go with the dial up, Pretty much if you login from a different location, you call an automatic number,put your pin/Code it gives you, and it generates a code, Its only for WoW and SC2.

SMS alerts are for when a login is made from a different location,

I see, thanks for clearing that up.

Come to think of it, that does sound secure. I wonder if Blizzard would introduce this as an additional authentication measure for Diablo 3 in response to the hacking wave
