Thus why I have a security key on my account.

A security key isn't going to protect your bank account if you're one of those people who uses the same e-mail address+password combo for all of your stuff, like a lot of people do... that's the real danger. Screw a TOR account, you could get robbed blind.

Nope, different passwords...but I will be more vigilant, that's for sure.

Thanks for the warning Ralden! That's why I never give out any personal information over the phone, or click on any links on emails.... Being paranoid pays off sometimes :P

As they say...
"Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're *not* after you."

This is why I simply ignore every email about my in game accounts. If they ban me, I call THEM to fix it... that is my queue that something is legit. ;)
