Not too hard if he had a trojan. Not to imply anything...
I actually had some stranger change the password to my accounts once. I was on as one of my accounts, and I saw my other accounts log on one after another. The person only logged on with my highest lvl character on the accounts, entered a private game(for a very short time), then left b.net.
While he was doing this, I tried to access my accounts, and it said wrong password. I tried to /m the person, but they were on and off so fast that I had no time.
A minute or 2 later I tried my accounts again, and the password was back to normal. I checked the characters that had been on, and nothing had changed on them except an item or 2 was identified that had been unided(I had been saving for trading).
I'm pretty lucky I guess that I didn't lose anything... I don't see how I could have had a trojan, but I've never given my password to *anyone*. It was also nearly impossible to "guess" by knowing me. I still can't explain it.
I updated my firewall, reinstalled diablo and LOD, and haven't had a problem yet. After this experience though, I'm more willing to believe those that say, "My account was stolen".
It doesn't really matter to me anyway, I play HC only and am used to losing my characters(eventually...). Would have pissed my off a little though.
