Diablo II Hack Investigation
Several Internet gaming sites are reporting that a hack is being used on Battle.net allowing people to access characters other than their own. We have found no evidence that this is the case, and have been unable to get reproducible steps of this hack from any website.
The hack as described would be impossible, given the architecture of Battle.net. Our investigation of these reports has not turned up any evidence to the contrary.
Furthermore, rumors that hardcore characters are being killed off using this hack are undercut by the fact that Hardcore characters have died at the same rate comparable to any other period of time, and there has been no evidence of wrongdoing there.
If you have any information regarding any hack, please send an email to
hacks@blizzard.com with as much detail as possible.
