Email Confirmation Added to Authenticator Setup

Prepare for more phishing emails to your WOW email login as Blizzard has just added an email confirmation step (starting July 27) to adding an authenticator to your Battle.net account.  Apparently you have to know the answer to your security question if you want to change the email address attached to your account so this should help keep folks who have hijacked your account from adding an authenticator to keep you out of your own account.

Cataclysm Safari

Mania's Arcania is doing a safari tour of the Cataclysm beta to find and describe all the pets.  There are spoilers about the changes to the landscape so don't read this if you don't want to know.
