MPORTANT SECURITY UPDATE
Players and Friends,

Even when you are in the business of fun, not every week ends up being fun. This week, our security team found an unauthorized and illegal access into our internal network here at Blizzard. We quickly took steps to close off this access and began working with law enforcement and security experts to investigate what happened.

At this time, we’ve found no evidence that financial information such as credit cards, billing addresses, or real names were compromised. Our investigation is ongoing, but so far nothing suggests that these pieces of information have been accessed.

Some data was illegally accessed, including a list of email addresses for global Battle.net users, outside of China. For players on North American servers (which generally includes players from North America, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia) the answer to the personal security question, and information relating to Mobile and Dial-In Authenticators were also accessed. Based on what we currently know, this information alone is NOT enough for anyone to gain access to Battle.net accounts.

We also know that cryptographically scrambled versions of Battle.net passwords (not actual passwords) for players on North American servers were taken. We use Secure Remote Password protocol (SRP) to protect these passwords, which is designed to make it extremely difficult to extract the actual password, and also means that each password would have to be deciphered individually. As a precaution, however, we recommend that players on North American servers change their password. Please click this link to change your password. Moreover, if you have used the same or similar passwords for other purposes, you may want to consider changing those passwords as well.

In the coming days, we'll be prompting players on North American servers to change their secret questions and answers through an automated process. Additionally, we'll prompt mobile authenticator users to update their authenticator software. As a reminder, phishing emails will ask you for password or login information. Blizzard Entertainment emails will never ask for your password. We deeply regret the inconvenience to all of you and understand you may have questions. Please find additional information here.

We take the security of your personal information very seriously, and we are truly sorry that this has happened.

Sincerely,
Mike Morhaime

Notes about the upcoming patch are up.

Quick summary version:

• No more MF averaging
• 75% monster health multiplier in co-op (make elites easier in groups as opposed to harder)
• Normal monsters +10% health, elites/rares/uniques down 10%-25% health. normal monsters get 4x drop chance buff on items.
• Things like fire chains and shielding are getting nerfed. invulnerable minions have been removed
• iLvl61 and 62 weapons damage range has been extended to the top of iLvl63
• 2h weapons get new stronger affixes to make them not worthless
• No more enrage timers or full heal resets (bosses still have enrage)
• Repair costs down by 25% for high end gear
• Crafted and dropped legendaries getting buffed
• Skills are getting a makeover for under-utilized skills/runes
• Release date fourth week of august

I think overall good changes for someone who isn't well equipped yet.

Since I farm Act 3 in MF gear though, just sounds like the game gets even easier unless they nerf my CM wizard build.
