Please please please be careful with your account.
Mine got hijacked last night how i am not quite sure as I did not give out the password nor did i click on the fake emails, luckily they only stole the stuff on my best char and did not change passwords etc. Just letting you know to be vigilant with your accounts

Check your PC's for keyloggers - also buy yourself an authenticator or get the mobile edition you'll be safe then.

depends on your password as well. if it's something common then they'll just have a list of usernames and used a program to spam passwords until one was successful. Always use a combination of letters and numbers for passwords. if you already do then yeah probably a keylogger or something. or check siege's account for your items ;)

Is Spybot S&D still one of the best?

I remember recommending alternative password forms to you on Steam. The more 'obscure' the language the harder to break. Hence my passwords are all Swedish / Finnish :p

If the password is unchanged, then it's more than likely minimal effort was put in to getting hold of it. I'd look less at keyloggers and more at the password strength itself and any links you may have clicked on a web page. bringing you towards battle.net.

Around about 4.30 today siege came on as "Mrmonkman" 20something for about 2 minutes and left. Steam says 13hours last online.. I hope that was one of you guys or you may need to sort your diablos/pc's out.

<3 The heads up and caring conscientious thal.
