my account got hacked....
I shudder to think what will be there when the temp ban is lifted in the next few days...
Anyone have any experience with this?
How long does the recovery process take?
What are my chances that I will have any of my gear?

part of the problem is that I share guilds with my brother and our friend...
multi-tab alt bank guilds...
Tabs full all the time.....
Im gm or equiv on all with full access...
Yeah.........
Edit:
I don't yet know the gear situation on valundar.... (not very hopeful)
BUT.. assuming they sharded all my dozens and dozens of gear pieces... do ya think i could point them to
my
wowhead
profiles
to show some of the gear i had prior to this?

I was unable to play for about a day.
Got all my stuff back in the mail plus all the mats that the farmers had on one of my guys. It was about 10K worth of gems, eternals and saronite.

problem is I had 3K G taken from our guild bank.. and plenty more just from my toons.... (just G.. no idea how much i could have made from the hundreds of saronite/titanium ore/bars, gems.. enchant supplies, eternals.. etc..)
Soooo much taken....
3 people depositing ALL farming goods in these banks...
bet that hacker was ecstatic when they logged in to my alts...
P.S.
I really hope all my bank chicks get their dresses back...
Put a LOT of time/effort over the years collecting all those lovely dresses.....
Edit:
They even tried to move my
huntard
to another realm...
I really cant wait til the temp ban is lifted so i can see all the damage....
stupid blizzard phone lines been jammed all day...

I got hacked about a month ago too, I phoned Blizz up and got my chars within 10 minutes of the phone call.... as for the gear I got it all back the next morning with all my money plus whatever the hacker farmed... made 5k gold in total, not bad eh?
But ye ringing blizz makes it fast but if not wait for a gm ticket to be responded too...
no gm ticket as i cannot login... i had to fill out their online forms and email them from my official email.
phones STILL busy.

you can send email to wowgm@Blizzard.com
http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=20457&rhtml=y
...and speaking of which, I just got email myself... looks like all my missing guild bank items have been recovered and are waiting in my mailbox.
did that within minutes of realizing i was hacked.
#1 thing i did was recover battle.net password and reset email account from diff cpu than i normally use.
Still dont understand how they got me....
havent done anything unusual.. or downloaded anything at all...
Guess imma just have to wipe/reload my cpu later...

Three people in my guild have been hacked, and so far, all three of them have had all their items/gold restored.
I'm pretty sure Blizzard is smart enough to have logs of everything you do on your account (item/gold wise), as well as what IP address your account is connecting from.
Heck, one of the people in my guild that got hacked also caused the Gbank to be drained of all rare items (shards, mats like titansteel, ect) and even those got restored.

well.. .if the waits at their call center are any indication... i will just be lucky if they get to my ticket at all this week....
I STILL have yet to get through to the phone center....
Update:
Still have not been able to call into blizz.... grrrrr
BUT... i did find the problem:
SnoopFree "blocked illegal keyboard hook in 'C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe
Thank you wowhead for directing me to SnoopFree !

At least now i know my box is safe.
