My son's account got hacked yesterday. We noticed him online while he was at a friend's house, his char was unresponsive to guild-chat and whispers. We logged into his account, but were immediately kicked back out.

So I changed his password, we logged in, and found his char in Hyjal, with his bags practically full of herbs. (and all his gear still on him). So we said thank you to the gods of chinese herb farmers, and are now trying to figure out how we can get them to bot-farm some more herbs for us ;)

I have no idea why they didn't loot the guildbank (tons of herbs, gold, ore, etc) but I am not complaining. We're going to format his laptop this weekend and see about getting him an authenticator so we can prevent this in the future.
