Hacking is a huge issue in WoW atm. Blizzard will restore your account to a time once you prove you are the original owner of the account. There is no need to rebuy anything.

However, get your machine cleaned regardless of anything else. The most common way to get an account stolen is through a key logger installed by flash. The key logger logs everything. After getting your machine cleaned get Firefox. Set Firefox up with no flash advertising allowed.

I helped a friend fix his machine after getting hacked and it was painful. Since cleaning his machine / getting an authenticator, he has been going fine. Blizz restored his toons and his guild bank.    

Where does a WoW user get the hack from though? You say 'flash' and key logger, does is work like a trojan sort of? I assume one has to click on something, a banner or something... or how does it get to your comp??

WHat I mean is, if I get a virus on my comp it was usually my own "fault" (by clicking on suspect banners, popups or something).
