Er, wow. That's horrendous. How in the world can they still blame the first Diablo when they made such a big deal about "Battle.net 2.0" recently? Why do they need to lump the new stuff together with legacy systems using broken security practices?

Most likely because the authentication codebase started with Starcraft, was integrated with Diablo 2, then was basically ported to WoW.

After that, WoW's system was basically integrated into the current Battle.net 2.0 system.
