Valuable target. Battle.net is the login system for Warcraft and Diablo, both games where player accounts have significant cash value. The gold and items in a serious Warcraft player's account are often worth well over $50 and are relatively easy to strip and sell on a black market. Diablo 3 has a legitimized real money auction house, only heightening the risks for Blizzard.
