Blizzard Bans WoW Hackers
Sunday December 5, 2004
Blizzard announced recently that they've had to ban a number of players from World of Warcraft for using a hack that allowed their characters to run faster in the game. "Those individuals who were caught using the speed hack have been banned from the game and have had their accounts closed. We must stress once again that we are opposed to hacking and cheating of any kind and are dedicated to maintaining a fair environment in our games. This will serve as a final warning to others who are considering using the speed hack."

Someone is hacking into many different accounts and is selling their characters! My friend has 3 accounts and they all got hacked into and 1 character was sold to someone else!
Sounds like your friend was compromised by a keyboard logger. It’s a common way to steal passwords. More on that here:
