Blizzard hack?

[tech savvy]

I read that Blizzard Entertainment got hacked by someone. There suggesting that everyone change their secret question and their password. Which for the amount off money they get, this shouldn't be an issue, but it is. Blizzard..shaking head.

And....

Someone on ebay supposely got an Xbox ‘Durango’ development system and sells it for $20k.

Thoughts on both?

First one, it happens, but really what do blizzard or Activision offer to gaming any more? They are living in the past and honestly, this won't affect them, any negativity surrounding them from their slowing business overshadows this.

For the second: publicity stunt

I agree, and i read up on the durango thing, and to the actual ebay post, it seems convincing, and the buyer has to be crazy to shell out 20k for something which may or may not exist.

XFX did something similar a couple of years back saying a limited edition XFX 5970 Black Edition got stolen and that got up to hundreds of thousands of $, it is a PR stunt. The "seller" has been a member on Ebay for 3 days, has 0 feedback, nobody would go near him, it is all PR nonsense

It happens? Are you freaking kidding me?

The category in which "it happens" falls under; yahoo account, facebook account, twitter account, and yes, your personal WoW account. But not Blizzard itself, that don't fall under "it happens".

It happens, as it did with Sony, and so many others.
