I'm ashamed to admit my WoW account got hacked due to what I'm sure was a phish. My work-friend called me and asked if I was still playing the game after i quite. I logged in and changed my password. The hacker used my same password,so I was able to grab my account back.

Ultimately, I made out with about 15K gold and all my items the hacker sold back in my inventory. Blizzard did well by me. I also gained a few levels. Free.

I now use an RSA-style token and use two-factor authentication for all my login activities. Fortunately, I don't have to two-factor auth every time I connect, but I can't do anything major without the token.

I highly recommend the second factor for all gamers.

I'm mainly playing Hearthstone right now, but I'll re-up for WoW when the new expansion comes out. (If for no other reason than to get flying in whatever new zones they make)
