I heard about this "hack" or "session spoof" from a friend after he advised me to go try and level up in a public game, then 5 minutes later (AFTER I had opened my game to the public and had one person join) said "Don't join public games, they are hacking accounts that way."
IF this is a legitimate occurance, then it truly sucks. However, for all of the rumors floating around, in all seriousness I have yet to see proof. I am NOT saying it is not real, I am just saying I have not seen any proof it exists and I doubt anyone else has (unless you are the unlucky person to be hacked). That being said, this type of thing SHOULD NOT happen, ESPECIALLY within the first week of launch.
I was at the Irvine launch event. I got my CE signed by half the developers there (just couldn't wait for the 2nd go around), and to think that one or possibly a few of them dropped the ball and is responsible for an open hole like this in the coding or security is just saddening IMO. If this is there, then what other holes and issues do we have to look forward to down the line......
I and countless others have waited (not entirely patiently) for years for this game to be released.
We expected a polished game. We expected stable a Battle.net. We expected better protection and security against the rampant hacks that plagued Diablo 2.
Based off of early indications, it appears we expected too much.

Blizzard has proven this is all just another slamfest, like with the servers, of people trying hurt Blizzard / Diablo III.
