[Diablo III] Red alert! SHIELDS UP!!!

"I find your lack of faith.....disturbing."
Heads up Diablo III addicts and farmers players, Blizzard techs and securities has posted that they have noticed that their B.net servers have been accessed by unauthorized and illegal means. So far the extent of damage has not been publicly announced, but it is to be lauded that they admit that hacking has taken place, and countermeasures and additional securities are implemented.

But for us players, let us do our part as well. Not by complaining and trolling the official Blizzard forums that "ur securitez suxxors" or "lol bnet haxxed by nooblars" and such. Remember, hackers hack indiscriminately, so it could be that rich guy up north, the do-gooder in one place, or maybe that vagrant player just around the corner cafe. Creepy, yes.

So do change passwords, and use passwords that are strong enough to repel 'tard hackers.
