WoW Insider is reporting that Blizzard’s Mobile Armory app has been hacked, with reports from players that their accounts were breached and used to make overpriced purchases as a method of laundering gold from the account. The reports included accounts with authenticators attached, and the breach appears to have involved both North American and European customers.

The report states that Blizzard GMs have apparently confirmed the breach, advising that players make use of WoW’s SMS authentication. Blizzard has taken down the mobile auction house for maintenance with no direct reference to the alleged breach.
