My account got 'hacked' over the holidays (in hindsight, I think I was duped by a phishing email).

I got an email saying I was perma-banned for gold selling/spam. What? I hadn't played for months. Anyway, I figured I'd submit a petition to have my stuff restored. I followed the process as listed on their site to handle it via email (since I could no longer login).

I had six characters effected. In less than a week, I got an email telling me that all my stuff had been restored, including a list of all items I'd lost, Sure enough, when I was able to login in again, all of my items were in my mailbox.

I was very impressed with the speed and completeness of the Blizzard staff. I don't know what this article is talking about, because I got everything back.
