Thatās yikes.
Yeah. Blizzard responded to the post quickly and are looking into it, butā¦ thatās somewhat distressing.
Well, yeah, you guys dont see my email and password listed? It should be right below my name, like all of yours are.
For a terrible second, I thought you werenāt joking.
Thatās very curious.
Curious is not the word iād use.
I was logged randomly into someone else's account! is the post Iām referring to, for reference.
The last post by Blizzard was 7 days ago, so maybe itās fixed, but. Also I didnāt see any mention of this anywhere else. It may also have been a severely isolated incident.
On a positive note you can now change your first name on Battlenet without them requiring any sort of verification.
Blizzard is no longer dead naming me.
that is such a good twitter handle
I should get myself a twitter one day.
But iām terrified of how weaponized social media has become.
Be strong, Zunde. Youāre not one to become weaponized.
Iād be worried if anyone tried to use me as a weapon.
Itās like why? Why?
I had something similar to that happen to me back in a previous workplace. I logged onto the company invisionboard to moderate. I was logged in as my boss. No one had access to my computer but me. It was something funny about the same IP address.
The poster may be playing from work, school, or some other public network. Fixing it may be as simple as editing a setting that increases security.
I wonder how VPNās might affect that sort of thing, if thatās the case.
This happened when I was at home, and Iām the only one there with a blizzard account, I just clocked on the blue login button and suddenly I was connected in someone else account automatically, it did not asked for a password or any login information, it just logged me in.
I had no clue whoās account I was into, also after reporting the incident no update was given to me on the issue, so basically I have no clue how and why this happened.
Ugh. This mess just keeps getting better and better. Was Bethesda leaking personal information not enough, Blizzard? Really?
ā> I just tested logging out and in myself to see what happened - fortunately nothing out of the ordinary -did- happen, either on the website or the app, but thatās not confirmation of anything past that itās potentially not a consistent issue.
I love this feature. I am become pest, the destroyer of posts.
I see what you did there.
The feature is pretty fun. It could be useful for guild lists and stuff, but said posts will need to be watched.
At least it tells you who made what edits. Iām sure thereās still the potential for things to go hilariously wrong, but nobody will be able to start drama anonymously.
ā¦I canāt believe you an edit peopleās posts. No idea how that could go wrong, eh, eh?
It will be nice for guild lists but I canāt think of a single other good reason that I should be able to go up and delete someone elseās writing and graffiti whatever I like.
