Topic: Someone hacked my Diablo III account
Fake anon !ZkUt8arUCU started this discussion 14 years ago #19,734
They got rid of all the items in the first tab of my stash (they missed the 2nd tab full of gems), all the items on my lvl 58 demon hunter including my legendary bow a friend gave me, and somehow got rid of all my gold. I opened a ticket with blizzard and hopefully they'll do a character reset but it still sucks. I put 44+ hours into this guy already, fuck.
Oh, also I was severely under-geared as it was. The legendary bow was a lvl 51 bow, and i'd found level 53 rares that were only slightly worse than it. I didn't have anything good on me, but they still fucking took it all. I would be really buttmad if Blizzard didn't have excellent customer service, but for now I am just irritated that I can't play my character with my friends.

Damn, I don't even play diablo, but that's gotta suck some serious dick. Do you have any ideas as to why you were specifically targeted?

No. I did send in my laptop for repair so it's conceivable that the repair guy somehow got into my game somehow. That doesn't seem to be incredibly likely, but neither is being the target of some random account phisher or whatever.

The game is great if you like dungeon crawl RPGs. It's really fun when playing with friends too. You're just jelly.

Fucking Wot? Look at this timely bit on you not being the only ONE!!! May 22 2012
http://www.gamerevolution.com/news/reports-of-account-hacking-strike-diablo-iii-blizzard-responds-13079
Diablo III has been in a slight state of disarray since it came out last week, and not all of it has come from the server issues. Nope, a handful of reports have surfaced of Battle.net accounts being hacked along with Diablo III gold and loot being stolen. Given how strong Blizzard's stance on Diablo III's online-requirement has been, which was intended to provide security, it didn't take long for every single Diablo forum on the net to blow up with discussion.
Rumors have surfaced as a result, and one rumor places blame on a possible glitch where a player can join a recent public game and have access to an account or character. While no evidence has been given to support this claim, Rift suffered from an eerily similar problem that was denied by its developer first before a hacker released details and the issue was addressed through a patch.
Blizzard—being the community-friendly group that they are—quickly dispatched Community Manager Micah Whiple, also known as Bashiok, to do the dirty work.

Hah, I like how they dismiss the "recently joined public game" thing when i have a player in my recent players list even though I've never played a public game that wasn't with 3 friends. He is a level 1 female wizard who's played like 17 hours. I bet that's exactly what it is but Blizzard is trying to save face. Lame.

Your account couldn't have been hacked. One of the main reasons for choosing to make even single player games dependent on Battle.net servers was to keep the game totally secure. To even imply this was a fucking retarded design decision doomed to failure is preposterous.

This is the only PC game in the history of the world where if you lose your cell phone, you can't play it. Derp. Who the fuck thought this phone-dependent authenticator shit was a good idea? Probably the same people who thought that making a single player game online-only was a good idea.

If he did, there's no reason he would have showed up in my recent players list. Unless he like used that account as temporary storage or something. Also, apparently Blizzard's passwords are case insensitive. What kind of fucking company does that? With case insensitive passwords, and no penalty for failing to log in X times, yes it is very possible that he bruteforced my password, since there's fucking no security. Good job being a fucking failure blizzard.

Lol that image is funny. No, I only play with people I've known IRL since 6th grade or earlier, and since we always play as a group of 4, there's no benefit to fucking over 1/4th of the team. I'm sure it was just some script kiddie brute forcing my password or something lame like that. Which would be blizzard's fault for not implementing basic security features (like having some penalty for failing to login 9999999 times in 3 minutes or something like that).

I think it's really unlikely that your password got brute-forced, unless it was painfully simple or you specifically were targeted. Seeing as it sounded like your gear wasn't great the latter is unlikely, people would instead target far more successful players. Anyway, let's discuss the math of brute-forcing a password over the web, but first:
In @323,231 (Fake anon !ZkUt8arUCU) you mention using the blizzard authenticator (2-factor authentication is awesome, and using it on your phone is win because less devices required. For WoW they have dedicated hardware if you prefer that, look into it if you think it would be worth it, it's not expensive). Did you use it when you were "hacked"?
As for the actual math, I'll be assuming you weren't using dictionary words or anything predictable (If you did, it's still unlikely but you deserve it anyway). Let's go with fdisl1, which is relatively short and contains a number but no capital letters (Because you mentioned passwords not being case sensitive). The minimum 'character set' for this is 36. a-z is 26 characters, and 0-9 is 10 characters. The password length is 6.
It is important to remember that this is a brute force attack on a remote service, so for each attempt they have to connect to it and try it. This is slow, as opposed to just matching against something local. We'll be optimistic and assume each login attempt takes 100ms.
So, let's start with the total possible amount of passwords they will have to try. Keep in mind that we're assuming the character set of abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789. So, it starts with "a" and ends with 999999. This is 36^1 + 36^2 + 36^3 + 36^4 + 36^5 + 36^6 = 2,238,976,116 possible combinations to try. At 100ms per attempt that will take 223,897,612 seconds, or a little over 2591 days.
An attacker will be able to try multiple combinations at once, and a realistic number for that would be somewhere between 25 and 100 per IP address, if blizzard does not employ any counter measures. So let's again be optimistic and say that they can 100 attempts/second. This cuts our waiting time down a lot, but still leaves us with ~26 days. Of course the techniques described here can be improved and implemented better for higher speeds, but I sincerely doubt that this is what happened.
Disclaimer: I am tired, and my math can be wrong.

Neat. My password was nondictionary words with only 1 number but it was decently long. I'm going to wait for the official blizzard explanation and see what they have to say. Even if it wasn't a dictionary attack, it was still really shitty security on their part to not have case sensitive passwords or at least some penalty for failing to login a certain number of times. The authenticator is neat, but I only found out about it via a friend after I told him I was hacked. That's not a good way or time to find out about a preventative measure against being hacked.

Weirdly, I can't sleep without offering this criticism. You seem to be assuming that a hacker will need to try every possible combination before getting one that hits. Assuming that they will only need to guess 51% of the possible combinations before thy get it right, that cuts the time down to 13 days. And assuming they use 1000 IPs (granted its kind of a stretch, but since this is a game that has items which sell for real currency, it's not out of the question completely) that cuts the time down to 1.3 days. That doesn't seem like it's impractical at all, and if you limit your attempts to only players who are level 50 or above, you can get serious gear for minimal cost.
Passwords susceptible to dictionary attacks would be even quicker, possibly cracking in minutes. If I were trying to hack into accounts, I would do this, unless there's some easier way I don't know about.

That doesn't seem like it's impractical at all, and if you limit your attempts to only players who are level 50 or above, you can get serious gear for minimal cost.
Passwords susceptible to dictionary attacks would be even quicker, possibly cracking in minutes. If I were trying to hack into accounts, I would do this, unless there's some easier way I don't know about.

Make sure you have an authenticator. You can get one free for your phone.

I'm curious as to exactly how it happened though, and if there was anything (besides being unaware of the authenticator) I should have known or done beforehand to prevent it from happening.

I was curious if you people would still attack me when I try my best to help. Confirmed.

Since Mark has been going easy on you ITT I'll have to pick up the slack.
You are autistic and should end your own life.

I have a complex from childhood trauma where I'm nice to people who treat me cruely and I go out of my way to please certain types of bullies (this is all thanks to my childhood). And while a certain person's cyberbullying spread vicious lies about me, no two people who believed them treated me exactly the same way, but you and jump. All others treated me differently.

> No, I am not saying Blizzard’s servers necessarily got hacked, but there is more to this than they’re letting on. This isn’t just “user error†when you look at the details of the hack. My monk was actually my lower level alternate while my high level barbarian and mid level witch doctor were left completely alone with all their equipment intact. The monk however, was the last character that was logged in. Also, my password wasn’t changed, and if someone had access to it, they could strip ALL my characters with ease, which they didn’t. Something else is going on here. This is the exact same thing that happened to my wizard friend, as his other characters were left untouched, meaning it appears hackers may be stealing session keys. If so, this IS on Blizzard’s side, and there’s more to it than someone simply acquiring logins and passwords.

actually i played WoW before and after the Battle.net authenticator was released, it was highly anticipated and well received. it's a little dongle with a push button that generated a 6 digit code. then, like a year later, the iPhone came out or whatever and battle.net or blizzard or someone made an app that did the same thing for free, and Blizzard ran with it.
Honestly it was the best thing ever. if you had an account with maxed out characters then you'd routinely have your account raped. shit is worth real money to the chinese. it all comes from phishing and the like, really. but some of their little scams look legit as fuck. even if you were careful it was easy to click the wrong email and login to battlenet.com/WoW or some bullshit and not know it.
Luckily authenticators.
