Probably not. And you probably weren't hacked. Good job on giving out your account info somewhere along the lines.

Considering the CreditCard isn't stored on the account, I'm calling bullshit.

You didn't get hacked, you were a dumbass and didn't watch who/where you put your credit card/account info in.

Nice of u guys to flame me...
No did not give my credit card info to anyone, at all... -.-
If you get another players acc name + pass you can simply move characters
from blizzards own site, if you autimatically set it up so they can transfer money every month if that's what u've chosen.

Why did you give out your account and password?

If you "get" it sure, chances are, if someone was going to hack someone for their account, it WOULDN'T be you.

So you PROBABLY gave it out somewhere along the way.

[glow=black]In my past experiences, Blizzard is usually extremely effective in restoring these issues. My friend had his account stolen, the kid sold all of his items and moved the gold. The GM helped him, verified the information, restored all of his items, gold etcetera.[/glow]

That's true Eric, but on the flipside; I've heard many stories where Blizzard doesn't help. The player just gets ****ed around and nothing happens.

Good luck.

Never gave my password away to anyone beside a really good friend,
but i whispered it to him in game, maybe someone got from a packet sniffer.
It's the only way i could imagine it, but it was like a month before i got hacked. Another issue i find a bit strange is: I woke up in the morning, logged in and checked my auctions, 6 hours later when i got home from work, my password where changed and characters moved, doesn't it usually take a couple of days?

Password Change:
Takes from 10mins-1hr really.

Transfer:
Actually. Im not really sure.
I would guess 1 day or so.

I experienced that once, friggin' GMs.

I got hacked, GM's didn't do shit.

Hence why my stats are so shitty on my lock. Priest is starting to look up though <3

Packet sniffer no...keylogger yes. That's the most common way. However, maybe your friend did it? ;)

Anyway, sucks for you =[
