Authenticator is free software. Since it is essentially a second password that changes every time you log in, it would be improbable someone would bother dealing with it just to harass some gamers. Seriously, if you have that kind of time and ability, break into the FBI or something! Situations like Sony and Steam involved real money and credit cards, not gold and armour; there is a huge difference in motivations here.

The Authenticator, IIRC, uses AES Encryption. If you're going to break that, then you're wasting your time on Diablo, and should be collecting huge checks from the security industry.

I have an authenticator, and I'm torn on it, really. I appreciate that there's another layer of security protecting my account. At the same time, though, I can't help but feel like the only reason it exists is because Blizzard doesn't trust their own basic security. To my knowledge, they're the only company that does this.
