1. Your Battle.net account has become compromised
2. Your e-mail account has become compromised
3. Your Battle.net secret question and answer have become compromised
4. Your computer has been infected with a key logger or trojan virus, or you have visited a scam website or replied to a scam e-mail where you gave your account details
As a result of this, I have temporarily suspended your World of Warcraft account, and disabled your current secret question and answer as a security precaution.
- What's next?
1. For us to change your current Battle.net account name, we'll need you to contact us with a new email address.
2. Secondly, you should nominate a new secret question and answer from the list below.
3. Finally, please make a new support ticket with your Battle.net account, and provide the following information in a text document (.TXT file, e.g. Notepad file) as an attachment:
- Battle.net Account Name: The current account name (email address) you are using to login
- Your new Battle.net account name (email address)
- NEW secret question and answer
- Name: The full name that the account was created with.
- Confirmation that you agree to have your original Battle.net account e-mail changed to that of your newly created Battle.net account (your newly created account will be disabled as a result).
- A scan or digital image of nationally recognised photo ID, such as passport or drivers license (please do not include public transport cards, library cards etc, as these are unsuitable for our needs).
If you cannot access your own Battle.net account please create a new Battle.net account under a new e-mail address at
https://eu.battle.net/. In this case, in addition to the mentioned data above, we need a confirmation that you agree to have your original Battle.net account e-mail changed to that of your newly created Battle.net account (your newly created account will be disabled as a result).
The list of available secret questions is:
- What was your childhood nickname?
- What was the last name of your first boss?
- What was the name of the boy/girl you had your second kiss with?
- What was the name of your second pet?
- Who was your childhood hero?
- What was the last name of your favorite teacher?
- When you were young, what did you want to be when you grew up?
- If you could change your name, what would it be?
The answer to the question does not necessarily have to be the right one, but can be an answer that only you will know.
For security reasons, we ask that you do not write your new secret question/answer and your account details in the main body of your reply.
We have also removed your recurring subscription details from the account; you will not be billed again on this card unless you enter the details again manually. Once the current subscription is over, if no further payment details are added, your account will become frozen
Once we have received this information, we will be able to process your account further.
While we're processing your ticket, you should follow the Security Checklist on our Account Security Site, which can be found at:
Account Security - Battle.net
