Those people willingly gave up their account information?

Just to clarify the topic of discussion in this thread, someone used a compromised account to post private information for other compromised accounts. These were individually compromised accounts and not the result of a security breach. Our customer support staff are securing these accounts and notifying their true owners.

Please note that if you ever feel that your account may be at risk, we strongly suggest following the security measures listed here: http://us.battle.net/en/security/ -- in particular the Security Checklist. Actually, it’s a good idea to follow those measures even if you don’t suspect that your account may be at risk. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of account security.
