Anyone else experiencing this? I've had this happen to me a couple of times and a few others have experienced it the past few days. People are in ranked games and they get disconnected with a message that their account has been signed on from another location. The disconnect results in them losing the game. And yet their account does not appear to have been compromised.
This is a major problem if people are able to force people to effectively concede. Blizzard needs to shut this down immediately and ban permanently anyone using it.
I've had something similar but with no message. Happened twice now, as soon as the game starts, right after mulligan, both heros explode and I get the defeat message.

This is different. I've had this issue before as well, but even though you get the defeat message, your rank/stars/streaks are unaffected. I assume it's the same for the opponent.
Did some google-ing. Doesn't seem like there is any news about that out there. Could just be blizzards fault on the server side but if there is something like that we'll probably hear more about it soon.

Played since Feb.2014, won like 6k games in Ranked/Casual, 500 in Arenas but I've NEVER seen this "hack". I bet if there was such a "bug/hack", there was at least one guide how to reproduce it.

It's been occurring in the last few days not the last year.
Not quite sure but on EU I've been getting the windows message that the program has stopped working more often in a single day than I have in a year and it only affects hearthstone.
I think it's someone is hacking Blizzard servers rather than the players directly as it only happened recently and I get this error even when I'm just viewing my card collection.
Hope Blizzard fixes this soon. I've basically stopped ranked at this point. There's nothing more frustrating than losing just because your opponent gets 2 turns for free.

Sounds like someone is using your login credentials. Do you have a tablet on which you play hs? Or another computer somewhere else and a little brat as a brother?
I don't think ive experienced the same thing as you BUT I have encountered 4 opponents now using (what I found out after a quick google) a Hack tool that FORCES your opponents connection to "drop" or "hang"
What this means in terms of a match is that if your in a winning positon, on your next turn & every other turn for the remainder of the game, you are unable to enter/make a move/play of any sort whatsoever. You can sometimes manage to get a minion to ALMOST attack, as in it leaps off the board to start, but then floats there in mid-air until the opponents next turn.
This tool is 100% unbeatable, & they get to choose when its applied in-game. There is a HUGE giveaway in users of this tool atm tho (other than all the above symptoms ofc!) & that is all 4 users iv encountered have their player names in the following format -
"UserName(3- random digits)" for example my name would read "GaelicSmash123".
My area isn't software, but its appears this (atm!!!) is integral to the use of this hack. Ofc this has soured my HS experience quite drastically, & I find myself immediately looking at the opponents name at the start of the match
This tool is SO aggressive & invasive that after you encounter a player using it, Hearthstone requires a "Scan & Repair" in "Battle-Net" Options.
The first time I encountered it I wondered wtf was happening?? ended up going to "Tech Support" in the Official forums, followed all their checks, then phoning my ISP to check my line. I even left my flat & went to a relatives & logged in using their ISP. As stated above, it turned out HS required a "Scan & Repair", but in total, that 1 match led to 24 hours of internet issues before I realised just how brutal this hack tool is.
Since then iv encountered 3 other players using it. Its so frustrating watching them make totally ridiculous plays that would normally be countered easily IF ONLY YOU COULD MAKE A RESPONSE!!
Ive obviously emailed "Blizzard Hacks/Cheats" dept. TWICE now. Listed the players names, but tbh, I have zero hopes that anything will be done
This has to be a sick joke or something.... never seen so much non sense in the same post.

There was a player I recently played and I can't be certain this is what they were doing. Basically, on turn 5, I noticed some really strange lag (they had 2 Mana Wyrms out). I played my Sludge Belcher. Strange lag, and nothing else was even lighting up (like you're between actions).
When End Turn was available, I hit it. And then their turn started. And then the Sludge Belcher popped back up into my hand (like an unsummon effect, similar to when you back out of summoning something requiring a target).
I ended up winning the game, but that was bizarre.

That's just lag, it happened to me all the time when I was still in Beijing. Actually, the really crappy one was once when I played out a card, it didn't get played, and it didn't even bounce back into my hand. It just disappeared.

it happened to me, you had a quick disconnection from the server, so you played locally, but the infos didnt go to the server. it reconnected in between, so when u pressed end turn, this went through, not your sludge play ^^ rare and unlucky, but not a hack!

yes this happened to me a few minutes on ago on US. I have a screenshot, not sure if I can name and shame people.

Did the Tracking/Pyro/Acolyte bug ever get fixed? If so, you can expect a solution to this problem in about 6-8 months. If not, good luck.

It appears there is some sort of network flibotey-floo going on with the servers currently. I doubt a hack is involved but who knows.
Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.
I doubt this is a hack...

Answer: I have no time for games!
Not completely hack. There is a way to dc/freeze your opponent. Tested again and it's working. Reported to Blizzard. Hopefully they can fix it soon.

It's not ogre till it's ogre.
Blizz claimed to have fixed it but they clearly never did, the worst is when warriors use the Taskmaster...

Encountered 5 of them in my last 15 games. This is getting ridiculoud.
