My account got hacked a few months ago and I just started playing again. My main toon is a 85 Tauren Boomkin. The last time I played him prior to now is over a year ago. So my account got hacked and whoever hacked it changed my spec to feral and got rid of all of my balance gear. I want to keep playing him because I love Druids but this isn't how I want to play him. Help please! What should I do!

Sorry if that is hard to read as it is a copypasta of a comment on
Alin the Finder
who sells gear.

I've already gone through the hassle of changing the password and unlocking the account and disabling the lock on the game itself and putting the authenticator on which was a pain in the ass. But as far as all of these spots to get gear what exactly are these spots because like I said, I just started playing again. And it's been so long since I've played I don't remember what gear I had on my Druid and there's no record of it ok the website.

Have you upgraded your account to Mists of Pandaria?

If you are just looking for a place to start, get into Pandaria, and go see
this guy
in the first zone. He will sell you a full set of level 85 leveling greens for whatever spec you want, and then you can start questing/running normal instances for gear. Most likely, the greens he sells will be better than anything you had in Cata, except maybe Dragonsoul Normal/Heroic gear.

Keep in mind, you will have to do a few quests to be able to access him, so you will have to run around as kitty for a little bit.

Information on getting hacked
Getting hacked is so easy if you do the following:
Using the same passwords - For everything
Using the same Email Address - For everthing
Clicking on links... i.e "Advertisements" etc... some links can be added to official websites, without them even knowing about it. Any links for that matter.
Downloading addons from dodgy websites or any kind of download for that matter.
Looking at dodgy websites, even if it isn't Blizzard related.
Using computers that happen to be used by loads of people - Even family computers, can be at high risk.
Never updating your anti virus programs, never deleting cookies.
Using file share programs.
subscribe to loads of websites, using the same details.
This list is rather endless..... no matter how protected you think your computer is.... think again.
But you can limit the risk of lots of common ways Joe bloggs will get information in order to get what they want from you. The list above, is the most common ways.
Anything you happen to type or information you add on the inter-net these hackers can find. Some of the complex programs they use.. work 24 / 7 ....year after year. Hacking into websites for passwords, any kinda information.. for that matter, even if it might seem pointless information.
It's like a big jigsaw puzzle, once enough pieces are fitted together the chance of the hacker has increased.
To solve most of the key ways hackers work:
Use different Email addresses & passwords
Use common sense, think before you click on something
Update your anti-virus programs on a regular basis
Maintenance of your computer.. i.e downloading secuirty updates.. being computer savvy
Limit who can use your computer, make sure they understand the risks of hackers & how they work.

Some information on how hackers can operate..
Hackers do not care, some hackers sell information to other hackers.. They make a living out of it. So they will do anything & everything in order to get what they want. You might just have gotten your World of Warcraft account hacked... think again, they could have even hacked your bank account details, gotten credit card details ...etc.
This topic perhaps has been covered so many times, but while people ignore some of the simple ways to stop hackers, hackers will keep in buisness. Same for Chinese gold sellers or any dodgy transaction, they tend to be hackers.... especially gold farmers that make a living from it.. they used hacked accounts. While people ignore these facts, you increase the risk for yourself & everyone else.
Some gold farmers can buy 200 accounts, & run them all at the sametime, yes all of the accounts are hacked. Paid only $6000 for them. They can make 60 million gold in a hour from this. While watching a program playing the game. "Cough" Daiblo3... RMAH.. they will add the money. So sometimes, even the game company is at fault.
Most good hackers can bypass wardens, protection programs in some of the most popular games. They can get caught, but they soon start up again, since the risk of getting caught.. doesn't have a high plenty to stop them doing what they want to do.
Inter-net crime is a major part of todays society but the law hasn't really caught up with this kinda crime. They don't even call half the stuff illegal... since loops cause things to be legal.
"Behind closed doors you cannot see"... . You can trace a computers ISP ...to a exact location, you have no ideas who is at the wheel of a computer.. so to speak. The address will give some of the information, but half the time nothing for a conviction to have any weight... when people use a dummy company, with false names.
Something to think about... when you turn on your computer. Most of the content in this massive wall of text is at the Extreme end of the scale...
Nothing to really worry about, if you use common sense.

Maybe wait for another guy to be doing it at the same time? Or ask in chat for help? What server are you on?
Cheers.

Maybe someone here has a toon on Echo Isle that can help you out. My Horde is on Nordrassil and Venture Co unfortunately.
What iLvL are you? Do you have any gold you could use on a few items at the Auction House? You can actually get some MoP greens for a level 85.
Other than improving your gear, I would seriously just wait around until someone else comes along to do the quest. You shouldn't have to wait too long.
Good Luck.
Cheers.

If someone has a horde on another server in your region (US, EU, etc.), they can friend you via battletags and help you. I'd offer the help, but my hordies are low level and cannot help.
