@Fobwashed: Sorry I knew that, I was just being glib. My sympathies anyway, I don't play Blizzard games but having to think twice before entering your information sucks at the best of times.
No prob, didn't take any offense =)

@Fobwashed: It feels a bit much cause nothing else uses it at first, but Blizzard accounts are just so sought after that it's justified. I mean, considering the amount of spam i get which are just phishing scams for Blizzard games...
Games wise, yea, I've noticed more blizzard phishing scams more than any others. I blame WoW for this -_-;;

That sucks man. I played the odds and didn't change my stuff until yesterday, but then I changed my passwords for EVERYTHING.
It feels like everything has been hacked into in the past two months so I just decided to go for it.
Went ahead and swapped out my important pws (credit cards, bank accounts) but just left my other email/game related ones alone. All my passwords for the most part are different so if one gets hacked, there's no real connection to any other. At least I've got that going for me =P

@Fobwashed: You should be able to get your account back.
E-mail them and explain the situation, they'll ask for some sort of ID verification. Either a picture of your ID (they should keep logs of your contact info even if it was changed), or a picture of your cd-key if you bought a retail box. Shouldn't be much harder than that, though it might take a few days.
I plan on calling their service center tomorrow when they're open and if that doesn't work, I'll try the email route. The websites are effed because at every turn, they want you to log in to retrieve or reset your password and I think the email address associated w/my account has been changed at this point. So I have neither the email or the password. You'd think if this were a pretty common problem, they'd have some kind of online set up to deal with accounts who've had their email altered in addition to pw.
