This is why we (gamers and computer security experts) told you we didn't want DRM. Pardo went ahead and did it anyway to impress your new bosses at Activision. When asked at Blizzcon about Battlenet/internet connection requirement to play single player SC2, Pardo arrogantly sniggered that anyone worth being a Blizzard customer had always on internet connections.
Blizzard then proceeded to use real names from credit card information and failed to secure customers information. You say passwords are 'cryptographically encoded' PLEASE CLARIFY THIS IMPORTANT QUESTION.. Are passwords hashed or encrypted? if encrypted properly we don't need to change passwords if they are cryptographically hashed then they can be decoded using a rainbow table, blizzard have failed to correctly secure our information, and we need to change our passwords. |

"and also means that each password would have to be deciphered individually." As this quote from the security announcement suggests, each password is (probably) salted with some user-specific bytes; thus, they can't be cracked against rainbow tables. |

suggests? probably? I'm looking for a real answer from blizzard to a real question...
EITHER We did our job, your info is secure, keep your existing passwords OR We failed in our commitment to our customers, sorry, change your password immediately This kind of PR department damage control double speak 'maybe kinda change your passes to be super extra safe' doesn't cut it. |
