i got my wow account stolen a while back (i guess) and decided to play again today, so i called up blizzard and got my info back. It turns out that he transferred my character from a PvP to a PvE.

Now I gotta wait for Blizzard's top secret account management team to investigate...
ugh

Wait...so your WoW account enjoys the company of similarly gendered WoW accounts?

Or is it that you're just a...forget it. Enjoy your fun.

They make you pay for increased security? I laughed.

Why exactly should they foot the bill when their customers are getting accounts stolen and hacked due to trojan horse / web pages with malicious content? Seems to me the customer base has insecure systems and poor computer security practices but what do I know? ;)

The price seems very reasonable, I know I would pay that much to have one at my financial institution for multi factor authentication for internet banking.

RSA encryption is nearly uncrackable. Since the randomly generated number is renewed every 30 seconds, you'd have to go through a hellavu lot of trouble in order to hijack someone's account if they are using RSA key card.

Most companies that offer this extra level of security require you to call and verify specific information to remove RSA encryption on your account if you choose to do so.

IMHO - $6.50 is worth the extra level of security.

Not so sure how simple it'd be to hack that. It's all random and the only way you could probably compromise them would be to hack into Blizzard's auth server and get their keys. They're a lot like the SecurIDs I use for remote access.

Bah, depending on how you get your seed it can be pretty damn random enough. And not like those pussy time clock seeds, I'm talking shot noise quantum shit.

Right, but there are Very High Entropy algorithms that can generate seemingly random strings of numbers. that is enough for this device since you wont be able to crack it in the 30 second time span until the key changes again.

unless you got a working quantom computer.

On a personal note, I think Quantom Computers will be the end of us all. But thats just me.
