I refuse to buy an authenticator, even after getting hacked, because I feel like its stupid to have to buy an extra level of protection that becomes a liability if you don't have it because hackers can use Blizzard's own protection service against you, like what's already happened with me when they put the damn one on my account. So out of principle I'm saying fuck Blizzard on this one, I'll just have to stay vigilant with my own computer security from now on.
Lines:
I would download the app for the authenticator if I had a nifty phone, but I don't really want to buy one. I don't even really want to play anymore, mostly because I don't know where I got the damn keylogger/cookie from. Whatever. I'll probably log on one more time to see what damage was done overnight, but after that I think I'm done for a while.

Only if somehow they obtain your login details so it is entirely your fault for them to have it in the first place is it not? By not getting an authenticator you really are cutting off your nose to spite your face and it has little/no impact on blizz but could have a huge impact on your playing experience. You HAVE a way to stop a hacker putting an authenticator on your account (by putting your own one on it) but you choose not to because it can be exploited IF you do not do so? That's a little backwards.
I bought an authenticator before I had a cool phone, I like it as it's just a tiny little keyfob no bigger than my bike lock key. I really see no reason for someone to not use an authenticator, it costs very little and is a fantastic level of security.

Maybe one day when I'm not so paranoid to use my credit card on my own computer. That day is not today.
Leinad:
Seeing as you already have a keylogger on your computer (still active, apparently) I would NOT call that paranoia. I would call using your credit card to buy an authenticator completely moronic, actually.
