DO NOT PLAY PUBLIC GAMES

My account was recently hacked from a server session exploit from playing a public game. Basically, you're playing the game, and all of a sudden your connection to the server crashes for no reason. This is because there is an exploit that allows a person who is attempting to steal the account to crash certain public games and retrieve all of the players in game's information through their individual session ID's.

I will be posting another thread on how to recover your account after this has happened, considering Blizzards site had me running around in circles for three hours before I finally figured it out myself.

I played 2-3 public games, 2 days ago. I've heard about this exploit but guess I'm out of danger. I hate thiefs, altho I'd like to know how just to fuck with my friends on diablo

The only information on it I know is that it includes DoS'ing the server and using a packet editor to retrieve the session ID Once you have the session ID for the individual user you're targeting you send the packet back through but while you're playing and boom you're in the other persons account, but there is still another step it takes to log into battle.net with without the persons login credentials, but I haven't figured that one out yet When I do I'll post how to prevent it, and I'll let you know

I got hacked 4m gold a few weeks ago.

Many who know the session ID exploit only steak your items in your stash and whatnot, but some of them go after the account as a whole.

Did you have an auth? I have an auth on my acc, and all i play is pubs never been hacked. And you honestly dont need to make a guide on how to recover your battle.net acc. All you do is call blizz, and tell them your acc got hacked the will ask you for the answer to your secret question, or a cd key of one of your games and boom back in your possesion. And lets say they stole shit. Just make a ticket explaining the issue, and they will most likely roll back the acc.
Anyways still an imformative thread, and sorry about the loss

I had quite a few kids PMing me on how to get it back, it's quicker to include all of the info the first try than putting in a ticket, waiting a few days just to be told to put in another with more info, wait a few days, then told to call. When I tried calling the hold queue was full, I haven't been able to get through still, so I quit and play TERA now and I didn't have an auth, didn't realize I'd need it considering I installed d3 on a fresh copy of W7 the sticky is just to keep the threads asking what to do to a minimum

Anytime! My friends who still play just send invites out now and keep the games private, seems to have fixed the issue for now
