Among the stolen data was found in the list of email addresses of users from all over the world except China (huh?), While for players who log on to the North American server – usually North America, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia – has gathered all answers to security questions and password to login, but it is stored encrypted, which makes them very difficult to decode.
Although the decryption is not something that is very easy and should be done on each individual password, Blizzard calls in any case all players who log on to the North American servers to change their password immediately to avoid unpleasantness.
