Battle.net hacked

Battle.net, the Blizzard community and matchmaking platform that powers the likes of World Of Warcraft, Starcraft II and Diablo III, has been hacked.
In a post on Blizzard's official website, company president Mike Morhaime advises North American members to change their passwords as a precaution, but says there is no evidence of financial information being compromised and that the details taken in the attack are not enough to give the hackers access to member accounts.
"This week, our security team found an unauthorised and illegal access into our internal network here at Blizzard," Morhaime writes. "We quickly took steps to close off this access and began working with law enforcement and security experts to investigate what happened.
"At this time we've found no evidence that financial information such as credit cards, billing addresses or real names were compromised. Our investigation is ongoing, but so far nothing suggests that these pieces of information have been accessed."
Morhaime admits "cryptographically scrambled" passwords associated with North American member accounts were taken. Players on North American servers will be contacted in the coming days to change their login information, and anyone using their Battle.net password on other sites are advised to change those, too.
"We deeply regret the inconvenience to all of you, and understand you may have questions," Morhaime writes in closing, pointing those seeking further information to a dedicated FAQ. "We take the security of your personal information very seriously, and we are truly sorry that this has happened."
