•Use a real time malware blocker and scan your computer at least monthly as well w/ multiple scanners
•Keep everything up to date (Flash, Windows, AV, Java is you use it, Browser)
•And the most important thing is use a different password on every site and don't use your main email address on every site

You definitely don't need an authenticator anymore than any other site. 99.9% of the time an account is compromised it is the user's fault.
My Bank didn't advise that I get an authenticator. Steam doesn't advise me to get an authenticator. Nor does Ebay or Amazon. So why is it that Blizzard has told us to get an Authenticator?
