How to recover a hacked Battle.net account (Overwatch, WoW, Diablo)
Your Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Diablo and Call of Duty access on Battle.net all depend on one Blizzard account. Clean up first, then recover it through Blizzard’s official support.
How to recover a hacked Battle.net account
Step 1
Change your password if you can still sign in
Do it straight away from account settings at battle.net, and pick a password you have never used anywhere else.
Step 2
Secure your computer first
Blizzard advises securing your PC before you recover the account. Run a malware scan, especially if you downloaded add-ons, cheats or “boosting” tools.
Step 3
Submit a ticket to Blizzard Support
Go to Blizzard’s official support site and use the hacked-account recovery option. Only follow links that go to blizzard.com or battle.net.
Step 4
Add the Battle.net Authenticator
Blizzard recommends the Authenticator as the best protection. Save its restore code somewhere safe so a new phone does not lock you out.
Step 5
Store the new details in LoginScout
Keep the new password and the Authenticator restore code on your Battle.net card.
How Battle.net accounts usually get taken
Malicious add-ons and tools
Add-ons and tools from unofficial sites can carry malware that steals logins.
Reused email and password
If the same email and password are used on other sites, one leak exposes Battle.net too.
No Authenticator
A password alone is much easier to steal than a password plus an Authenticator code.
Use a separate email for other sites
Blizzard suggests not using your Battle.net email and password for other games and websites, so one compromised account cannot unlock the rest.
A LoginScout temp inbox gives you a separate address for sign-ups you do not want tied to your main email.

I lost my Battle.net Authenticator. Is that the same as being hacked?
