Phishing Emails Cover The Solo MMO Player

The Solo MMO Player's email address used as a Battle.net login is crammed full of WOW-related phishing emails.  This is good evidence that Blizzard's Battle.net system has been compromised and the account logins stolen as this email address has never been used for anything except logging into Battle.net.

The following article says these emails are on the rise, and tells you to open a new browser window and type in the battle.net address to check your account status if you think one of the dozens of emails you get is really from Blizzard.

No Blizzard email message to your email login address can be trusted to be real.  Your email login address is not secure, so don't use it for anything except logging into Battle.net. Get yourself an authenticator.  Here's what happens when you don't have one.
