World of Warcraft¡¯s popularity has exploded over the past few years, and with it has come increased scrutiny from hackers and cyber thieves looking to make a profit from unsuspecting players.  Blizzard has seen a rise in the number of compromised accounts recently, where players have found their characters, money and items stolen and sold on unauthorized gold-selling websites.  Recovering a stolen World of Warcraft account is difficult, time consuming and full reimbursement for lost property is not guaranteed, wow gold so it is wise to be proactive in defending yourself against potential threats.

However, if you require absolute peace of mind that your World of Warcraft account is safe and unbreakable, consider purchasing a Blizzard Authenticator for $6.50, or downloading the free Authenticator app to your iPhone or iPod Touch.  This small device links to your World of Warcraft account and displays a key code when you press the button.  This key code must be entered along with your password, and it changes every 30 seconds.  The bottom line is, even if a hacker manages to uncover your password, wow gold he still won¡¯t be able to access your World of Warcraft account without the physical device in hand.  Blizzard claims that no World of Warcraft account guarded by an Authenticator has ever been compromised.
