Not really MMOwned news - But good news

[KuRIoS]

Hello everyone, this is not really MMOwned news, but i decided to post it here since it will be good news for all of our members who have had a keylogger or otherwise had their accounts compromised.

Blizzard can now Offer enhanced security for World of Warcraft users for their accounts.

A enhanced security is an electronic device that generates a six-digit security code at the press of a button. This code is unique, valid only once, and active for a limited time; it must be provided along with the account name and password when signing in to the World of Warcraft account linked to it.

This optional security measure will be available at the 2008 Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational, which takes place June 28-29 in Paris, France. In addition, the Blizzard Authenticator will be made available for purchase via Blizzard’s online store in the near future for a cost of $6.50.

More info about the digital keycode can be found here

Both good and bad news.

Good for all who doesn't scam and don't want to get hacked.
Bad news for all hackers/scammers.

Yeah, my dad has a similiar six-digit security chip, but it's used for his online banking. Every time he logs in, he has to type in digits every time and the digits only last about 60 seconds until it resets.

Pretty nifty, imo.

It is indeed very very very awesome about time they created something like this

Half of the point is that it changes very quickly, most likely around
60 second-ish intervals...

You'd have to tell the person you are scamming to DISABLE that
function, to have any luck, both if you are scamming and if you are
trading more... "legit".

Yeah, if you think they will answer you during the minute the code is valid...

Edit: Lolreadingisfun.

My mom has one of these too due to she works for the bank. They're pretty neat, although the one i had was outdated and pointless xD

Props to Blizzard too, no other system has come up with something like this
