Blizzard Sued Over Security Breaches
Two gamers have filed a class action lawsuit against Blizzard Entertainment, claiming that the developer has improperly guarded player information leading to several security breaches and leaked account data.
The suit also accuses Blizzard of fraud, claiming that the company "negligently, deliberately, and/or recklessly" fails to protect users' details. Referring to Battle.net once again, the suit claims that the site encourages you to purchase an Authenticator for $6.50 (£4.08) which generates passcodes every time you log in to further safeguard information.
Although digital Authenticators are available at lower prices, the suit claims that these were breaches made during the August Battle.net hacking and that Blizzard has not taken measures to repair them, making the physical Authenticator a hidden cost when using one of Blizzard's games.
