Their accounts weren't hacked. They were just stupid.
Glad to see Blizzard making it easier for stupid people to get their accounts back - hopefully make them smarter.

This is just plain ignorance. Plain and simple. I was [s]hacked[/s]
compromised. It ended up being a hack embedded in the flash of a popular WoW information site where people go to get information about quests and items. No virus, no buying gold, to selling/buying accounts, no clicking on spam emails from nefarious sources pretending to be Blizzard.
Sure, I didn't have an authenticator at the time - but excuse me if I was pissed because the last authenticator I purchased died in 6 months and Blizzard said "so sorry, buy another one". OF course I have one now tied to my phone.
I don't expect you to understand - until you yourself get hacked - but it is NOT as cut and dried as you suggest.
Don't be so quick to judge, you may be next.
