Diablo 3 Account Hacking

It was inevitable, I suppose, but the first reports of Diablo 3 account hacking have flooded the internet in recent days. Some are even reporting that that their accounts were hacked despite using Authenticator.

Blizzard has of course been quick to address the issue, with Community Manager Bashiok posting on the forum that Blizzard is taking the problem "very seriously" and "have done everything possible to verify how and in what circumstances these compromises are occurring."

Considering that a number of these reports are involving singleplayer gamers, this should be a huge concern for the publishing giant. Blizzard has been quick to point out though that, despite reports to the contrary, they "have yet to investigate a compromise report in which an authenticator was attached beforehand"

Presumably in light of all these reports and other problems Blizzard has experienced post-launch, the currency-based auction house has been delayed indefinitely.
