getting caught for 'hacking'

[-§pec†oR-]

This was a method used when Blizzard first released 1.10, and has been patched. How the "hacker" would do it was make an account identical to the account they wanted to hack, but on a different realm. Then they would request an email change. When bnet sent them an email that they had to reply back to, to verify the change; they would change the heading that went something like this: accountname.useast < [email protected] > to accountname.uswest < [email protected] > therefor telling the bnet server that the account on west wanted to change the email to the one specified. Once the email was changed, they did a password recovery. Didn't take a genius to think up of this one.


How was it patched???? - Blizzard now puts code at the bottom of each email, that contains coded information containing information about the email.


Hope this helps!
