WoW account Hacked Again?!?

A friend of mine called me on the weekend to see if I had reactivated my WoW subscription, apparently one of my toons was online since the day before. I was like, no, definitely not me! I had canceled the account a few months ago when I got bored of playing again, so there’s not even an active subscription on it. I really don’t understand how this happened again! After the last time I got hacked I never typed in my new password directly, I would either use the windows virtual keyboard to type it in using the mouse, or I’d copy/paste from a text file that was saved on my desktop. How did my account get reactivated anyway though? Did the hacker find a loophole or actually pay the $15 to subscribe? Probably with a stolen credit card no less.

So, I tried to go change my password but the security question answers have also been changed, so I can’t regain access that way. I sent in an email to support and should hear back soon, but today when I tried to log into my email account I was told the password is wrong. I’m hoping that I’m just being paranoid and maybe it was a temporary glitch in gmail, but since I don’t have access to my old secondary email I have to wait until tomorrow to see if my security questions are still valid on there, to reset my password. Do these hackers really go to so much trouble to hang onto stolen accounts these days? If I could only get my hands on the bastard responsible he’d be needing to make a serious disability appeal cause that bitch would be in hospital with broken limbs. I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling this way. I’m really done with this game now, fuck, I’d rather just delete my toons completely so no one can steal them again. At least in EQ2 I’ve never heard of or experienced account hacks like this.
