Blizzard announced recently that their "security team found an unauthorized and illegal access into our internal network".
North American players are being urged to change their passwords, secret questions and Mobile Authenticator serial numbers.
You can find more information at their Important Security Update FAQ. I wasn't notified by them yet, I tripped on an article reporting it while looking up something else video game related. I hope others of you found out earlier about this from Blizzard.
Hopefully those of you actively playing Blizzard titles have been notified in-game. I launched Starcraft II to confirm, but was met with patches that require an "installation optimization" that will take 15-60 minutes.
At the very least, Blizzard should send email notifications to the addresses listed on your account, but I don't know when they will do this.
Regardless, it will be in your best interest to log in and update your account's security info.
