I'm not saying it was curse, it just the last thing I remember doing before I was hacked. Went to bed, the next morning I couldn't access my account anymore. It was blocked because it was probably used by the hacker to advertise gold or something.

I never bought an authenticator because didn't find it necessary since I considered myself someone responsible. And the only ones available were the normal ones, after the mobile ones appeared I bought one right away.

I don't have a clue how they did it, bruteforce was not for sure, because I Don't think Blizzard allows that anyway. Most probably it was some kind of add or flash like you said. Can't see anything else.

Anyway, I have one authenticator on one of my Mobiles, a Sony Ericsson, but it's even available for Android now, so I'm set, even tho it's not 100% secure even with an authenticator.
