Hello, The information in that article is false.Blizzard has always taken an aggressive stance against cheating in our games, and this measure, as discussed clearly in our Terms of Use, is an example of our efforts to protect legitimate players and the integrity of the game service from those attempting to gain an unfair advantage through the use of hacks. As stated in the Terms of Use, the information we obtain is solely for the purpose of identifying cheating in World of Warcraft, and for no other reason. Please note that we do not share this information with anyone outside of Blizzard.
