Regain Access To Your WoW Account Easily

Getting hacked is every World of Warcraft player's worst nightmare. Once they break into a Battle.net account, WoW hackers are notorious for looting your gold, stealing the most valuable gear, and even moving your characters to a different realm.

The popularity of World of Warcraft has made battle.net a major target for cybercriminals. Selling these in-game assets can earn them plenty of money in the real world, which is why they go to great lengths to kick users out of their WoW profiles.

But the good news is that there are ways to recover a hacked WoW account, especially if you act quickly.

How Do You Know If Your WoW Account Has Been Hacked?

Any activity on your profile that you're not responsible for is a major red flag that your account has been compromised. The biggest signs are:

• Getting an alert that someone is trying to change the email address associated with your Battle.net profile
• Your characters are "naked,” without the gear and other items they should have
• Some of the characters themselves are missing
• You can't log in with your password even though you know it's definitely correct

What To Do If Your WoW Account Has Been Hacked

As soon as you notice any kind of suspicious behavior on your Battle.net profile, take steps to change your password and try to secure the account.

Unfortunately, the hackers will be actively trying to change all the security settings on your account, including the email address associated with your profile. This allows them to pretty much lock you out.

How To Recover Your WoW Account If You Can Still Log In

1. Head to the dashboard, choose Account from the top menu
2. Click on Settings, then choose Change Password from the drop-down options
3. You'll be prompted to enter your current password to confirm your identity,
4. Enter the new password, choosing a combination of letters and symbols to make it stronger, and then hit Save
5. Change the password for the email address associated with your account as well, since it may be compromised

How To Recover Your WoW Account If The Password Has Already Been Changed

1. If the hackers managed to change the password, try to change it back by clicking "Can't Log In" on the sign-in page
2. On the next page, choose the first option that says "I don't know my password"
3. You'll be prompted to enter the e-mail address associated with the account you're having problems accessing
4. You'll be asked to answer at least two security questions
5. Assuming you can remember the answers and regain access to the account, change the password using the steps described above

What Happens If You Still Can't Access Your WoW Account

Players that aren't successful with the "Can't Log In" process may find themselves in a tough spot. That means you either don't remember the answers to your security questions or the hackers have gone so far as to change them.

It's also common for WoW players with a compromised account to enter their e-mail address and receive the dreaded "Account is not found" message. This is a sign that the hackers have successfully switched your Battle.net profile over to a new email address, which makes them a lot harder to track.

In any of these scenarios, the only way to recover your account is to reach out to Blizzard Entertainment, the company that owns World of Warcraft.

1. Create a new Battle.net account for the purposes of being able to communicate with Blizzard
2. Submit a help ticket explaining that your real WoW account has been hacked.
3. Blizzard's team will ask you to confirm your identity by sending them a photo of your ID alongside a newspaper with the current date

At this point, Blizzard will review the account activities to investigate whether it has been hacked and should be restored to you.
