If you have the money, BUY AN AUTHENTICATOR FROM BLIZZARD.
Seriously. We got one after my boyfriend's account was compromised, as we've had absolutely no problems whatsoever since then. They're not that expensive either.
Man, that sucks so bad. No one close to me (well, 'til now) has gotten hacked but I've seen several people in guild get hacked. One even spilled over into the guild bank; the hacker took everything they could from the guy's account and the guild bank as well. That said, as far as I know they all got fully restored within a few days, with I think only the loss of enchants and gems on their gear.
Honestly, and Blizzard will say no, it's not this, but I blame it on battlenet. Ever since the switch there's just been a ton more complaints about hacking (and I use mods plus the sites you listed so I sincerely doubt it's that). Other than the authenticator the only other advice that makes sense to me is 1) change your password frequently and of course, make it as unbreakable as possible 2) use a junk or relatively unused email account as the log-in, not your main one.
Yeah, the hacker got into the guild bank. That upsets me the most.
I blame battlenet too even though I've seen Bliz swear up and down that it isn't a problem. I'm really suspicious right now since I've been playing for almost 3 years without a problem but now, here we are, a month after battlenet went live and I'm all of a sudden hacked.
