One of our readers, Bill, sent us a tip (http://www.wow.com/contact/comments) about a WoW account issue on The Consumerist (http://consumerist.com/2010/02/blizzard-wont-let-my-friend-get-his-warcraft-hammer-back.html). It seems that the ownership of Anonymous's friend's account is under dispute and Blizzard won't let him use it in the meantime. The ownership became disputed after the account was allegedly hacked, even though there was allegedly a mobile authenticator on the account. His friend has given up on the account, complete with Val'anyr (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=46017), and has created a new one.
We can't confirm any of the facts in this case. I am willing to believe that Anonymous is truly upset and believes the story he tells to be true, even though he is posting anonymously. There are some serious red flags, however, that seem to point to Anonymous not having all of the facts:Continue reading Debunking another hacked authenticator story (http://www.wowinsider.com/2010/02/08/debunking-another-hacked-authenticator-story/)
