I didn't see this posted...

From the third paragraph:

Quote:

We also know that cryptographically scrambled versions of Battle.net passwords (not actual passwords) for players on North American servers were taken. We use Secure Remote Password protocol (SRP) to protect these passwords, which is designed to make it extremely difficult to extract the actual password, and also means that each password would have to be deciphered individually.

They say that like it's a hard thing to do. Renting EC2 servers from Amazon to do some quick deciphering before they realize a stolen credit card was used is quite easy actually.

Yeah... no

Nothing about cracking properly hashed and salted passwords is quick.

From what I understand even the salt is unique per person, so they can't even check if 2 or more people used the same password and attempt the crack those as higher priority.

Depends on the hashing and salting methods involved, if it has enough rounds of a good crypt function, even amazon EC2 isn't going to crack it anytime soon.

Either way, I updated my authenticator code (not entirely clear if those were compromised?). Though it's annoying you have to remove then re-add it to do that.

Interesting, I actually got an email a few days ago in which Blizzard emailed me a verification code, but I never requested it. Not sure if that is related at all, but as soon as I got that email I changed multiple passwords on different email and game service accounts, just in case.

[Engadget] Blizzard suffers security breach, encrypted passwords and authenticator data compromised

Source

Quote:

According to a recent Blizzard security update, now might be a good time cook up a new password. Blizzard's security team found that its internal network has been illegally accessed, and answers to personal security questions, authenticator data and cryptographically scrambled Battle.net passwords have found their way into the perpetrator's hands.
