Attention: Battle.net security breach

Authenticator for iPhone: Free peace of mind. I like the idea of an authenticator. I like that it is that added level of security. That being said, I would never have bought one. I use the app, and I was perfectly happy with it. Even now that I don't play, I haven't unhooked my authenticator from my account. It's still tucked away in a folder.

Note to you and others that Blizzard stated that the mobile authenticator data for North America was also compromised and that they will be prompting you to update that for your accounts.

Yeah, this is the part that really surprised me. HOW THE !#*()% do you get that hacked? It does make the whole idea of the authenticator less enticing to be sure.
