Well, your right on searching for more than your told. Blizzard denies they can watch you play/see your screen realtime (from a GM perspective), but the SC2/WoW Warden was reverse engineered almost a year ago and they proved that it was not only wrong but actually intended. They couldn't view character screens or matchmaking though, which I assume is held true with Diablo 3 because they use the same login system due to the authenticator and similar server architecture (Which is a different problem entirely). This is also why you see so many compromised accounts; hackers already knew what packets to scan for and where to look to intercept account data. There was never a security breach, just rehashed & non-updated security.
