I actually have a legitimate question Call the news paper!

Situation:
Guild mate in Voracity, Zad was hacked just recently. Guild saw it happening and demoted him to stop any further damage to the guild bank. Now he was on a limited access anyways so the farmer only got a few stacks of mana pots and a few Nether Vortexes.
Some people contacted him out of game and he said he got an e-mail from a GM stating....well I'll just copy/paste his post

Q u o t e:
If you absolutely, positively must have your account compromised, the best way to find out is via a Blizzard email letting you know that some of your characters have already been recovered.

A brief history:

* Someone changed my account password
* My warrior was reported for harassment, and my account suspended
* Blizzard suspected foul play, and reset my password
* Zad and Matun are recovered, but no word on my other 70s.
* My account will remain closed until the recovery process completes


That said, Blizzard's quick action allowed me to focus on what's really important, namely the security of my email and banking accounts. I didn't bother changing my password for the guild page, however, so if you see any particularly malicious posts, it's not actually me.

My thanks, of course, to everyone who either helped the GMs in this process or brought this post to my attention.

Guild Leader got a ticket out requesting the recovery of the items from the guild bank and was told that it would be escalated. Ok great! Got me thinking though. Has he e-mailed AA and reported the account compromised or does he not need to sense the GMs told him that they know?

So here's my one million point question. When a GM e-mails you and locks the account for this situation is reporting the account compromised to AA still required?
Now I haven't seen the e-mail so I don't know if they officially stated that they suspected the account compromised.

The account is already reported as compromised thanks to this efficient new system, so no, he doesn't need to report it as as much again.
