Heh! Don't know the details here, but this seems weird. Blizzard offers hardware two-factor authentication for a trivial fee, which is more than most US banks do, ffs. And they're being sued because it's not free? Or something? Or because if you -don't- elect to use it, the resulting security isn't as good? Better they shouldn't have offered it at all, I suppose. (My World of Warcraft characters are better protected than like 99.9% of the rest of my non-work-related digital data...) DC
