Hello everyone, this is not really MMOwned news, but i decided to post it here since it will be good news for all of our members who have had a keylogger or otherwise had their accounts compromised.
Blizzard can now Offer enhanced security for World of Warcraft users for their accounts.
A enhanced security is an electronic device that generates a six-digit security code at the press of a button. This code is unique, valid only once, and active for a limited time; it must be provided along with the account name and password when signing in to the World of Warcraft account linked to it.
This optional security measure will be available at the 2008 Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational, which takes place June 28-29 in Paris, France. In addition, the Blizzard Authenticator will be made available for purchase via Blizzard’s online store in the near future for a cost of $6.50.
More info about the digital keycode can be found here http://us.blizzard.com/support/artic...660&rhtml=true
Also thank you to our member Baaja for the heads up to the guys on the forum

Good for all who doesn't scam and don't want to get hacked.
Bad news for all hackers/scammers. |

Pretty nifty, imo. |

60 second-ish intervals...
You'd have to tell the person you are scamming to DISABLE that
function, to have any luck, both if you are scamming and if you are
trading more... "legit".

My mom has one of these too due to she works for the bank. They're pretty neat, although the one i had was outdated and pointless xD
Props to Blizzard too, no other system has come up with something like this
