A group of customers is suing gaming giant Blizzard Entertainment in connection with a data breach in August that resulted in user email addresses, hashed passwords and other information being stolen by attackers. The suit claims the company did not do enough to secure users accounts before the compromise and that the company now is forcing users to pay for a two-factor authentication system to increase the security on their accounts. Blizzard officials say that the lawsuit has no merit and that its security measures are effective and the purchase of the Authenticator is optional, not mandatory, for players.
