So my guild master's account got hacked last night. But to make things interesting, not only did they kick everyone from the guild, they added an authenticator to the account so he can't even log back in right now. I'm thinking this has to be someone that had a personal grudge against him (to go through the trouble and add an authenticator seems a bit much for gold sellers and those that just want to be malicious). My big question is, with the authenticator added, will it be harder for him to get his account back? And in cases of a guild master's account being hacked, how long does it usually take for Blizz to get everything sorted out, the guild bank restored (at least as much as possible), and all that? Thanks.

No, this is the current modus operandi for the gold farmers, as evidenced by any number of "I got hacked" threads on this and other forums. They attach an authenticator to effectively lock out the account owner from both the game
and
the Battle.net account administration pages. It buys them a lot more time to clean out the account and/or use it for farming.

Yes, there is more involved to get an authenticator removed (which is why the gold farmers do it; see last sentence above).
And in cases of a guild master's account being hacked, how long does it usually take for Blizz to get everything sorted out, the guild bank restored (at least as much as possible), and all that? Thanks.
Depends on many things, including planetary alignment and prices of various teas in China. Most full restores take at least a week.

Long time ago an officers account got hacked, they cleaned out the G-bank, Lucky I kicked him before he could get to the more expensive stuff.He Ninjaed around 20k worth of stuff and 50k gold. I submitted around 10 tickets begging the GMs to restore some of our stuff back.
They refused, this set us back around 1 week in raiding, preventing us getting the realm 1st 25 man Saph ( this was around 3 weeks after wrath release)
So moral of the story: GM's probably won't restore the G-bank except maybe gold.
Honestly, I'd report that horrible GM service to Blizzard.
Anyways It'll take a little longer for the restoration and the luck that the GMs will restore the items aswell.
Inb4 elbrian's usual rant about posting a "Got hacked" thread on wowhead.

in 2 month, 3 of my officers got hacked and looted the guild bank. After blizzard restored their account, I had in my mail all the items that was stolen. I added a new requirement to be an officer: that little number and shinny thing.
