1) This started back with 1.6 or longer ago. Blizzard even already responded to it.
2) You notice a key component missing in his whole thread? Info transmitted back to Blizzard. "Warden" knows just as much about you as Windows does, likewise Blizzard is receiving as little of that info as Microsoft does.
3) Went digging deeper, and he originally posted this to a wow hacker forum. His blog post doesn't detail his entire research. Namely, the point of this research was why were people still banned when they installed a "blocker" for Warden. The first conclusion was that there may be different versions of Warden at any time, and it can also be updated at any time, causing their blocker to fail. The second conclusion was that their future open source cheats will nearly prevent the Warden from detection since self-compiled versions will come out differently. That is, of course, if you know how to compile software yourself and don't share it with anyone else.
Oh, yeah:
So this is Blizzard following up on what you agreed to when you started playing.
