hacking is loltagious

ysobelSo I am happily watching CotG (whee they are all so young and adorable) and knitting, and I realize my mIRC window is flashing -- people from my WoW guild were asking me if I was signed in.
Which I wasn't.
Getting hacked is /fun/.
...changed password, ran scans on my computer, and then opened a ticket. My main (lvl 85 shaman) was missing the chest, legs, rings, trinkets, relic, and weapon/shield of heal set, as well as the entire dps set stored in teh bank, and a lot of my inventory.
Oh, and all the gold.
(Well, no, not all of it. They left me 94 silver 6 copper.)
The 82 rogue is missing some gear and all the Cata-level herbs and volatile elements and stuff. 80 mage seems okay? It looks like they were mainly after Cataclysm-level stuff.
Fuck this shit anyway.
(And I decided to give in and get an authenticator -- I had been resisting because it was RL money, but it's an additional layer of security, right? -- except the battle.net store isn't accepting my credit card information. And yes I am keeping an eye on my cc for Suspicious Activity in case I have a keylogger or something, though I doubt that's the case, and this is just me typing something in wrong, but it is icing of suck on a cake of suck.
...at this point I am just kind of saying 'fuck everything' until tomorrow. Am hanging out in WoW in case they get back to me and have questions, but it's not like I can do anything useful with half my equipment missing.

So it's not like I've lost the stuff permanently -- or even like I have to tell them what all is missing. I just have to wait.
