Diablo News
A new Diablo II hack targeting the users of hack programs, is currently being circulated under a variety of names. The hack automatically drops all of a character's inventory on the ground. Some versions of the hack then prevent the player from picking any items back up, while other variants kick the player out of the game. Please protect your characters by avoiding programs you are unsure of. If you notice a program in your email, make sure you know what it is prior to downloading. For more information on the dangers of using hacks and third party programs, along with a list of common dangers posed by these programs, please visit our Hacks and Third Party Programs page. Also note: Users of hacks open themselves up to running into the problems listed on the Hacks page, as well as having their accounts and/or CD-Keys banned from Battle.net. Please contact hacks@blizzard.com to report hacks or Web sites distributing hacks.
Chest Hack Issue
The chest hack has been stopped on Diablo II realms. Accounts that used that hack have been noted and are now banned from Battle.net. Over 7,000 accounts are no longer accessible.
We regret having to ban those accounts. However, certain unscrupulous players were impairing the game play of Diablo II, and that will not be tolerated.
Over 20,000 Battle.net accounts have been banned. All of these accounts were associated with 8,500 accounts using the "Chest Hack" that appeared in the user community over the past week. In addition to this hack's effects on the player economy, its use directly affected the stability of Diablo II realms, causing a number of dramatic performance issues. This is in keeping with our commitment to provide the highest possible level of quality for our legitimate users.
