It doesn't actually bypass it, it simply records the authenticator input just like your password - it then takes advantage of the fact that the autheticator code stays active for 30 seconds and uses that time to login to your account manager with the freshly acquired password/authenticator code to change your password, and again to the game to steal all your stuff.

I don't know what, if anything Blizzard is doing to fix this. A possible solution would be to impletment a one-use policy on the authenticators, so as soon as you enter the code, the same code can't be used again. It'd be a bit of a pain because if you enter it wrong you have to wait 20 seconds or so for a new code. That'd be fine with me as a compromise.

That still doesn't change that there's a keylogger on your system though; Blizzard might do well to host approved mods on battle.net

Wow.. I had no idea that the online stuff for World of warcraft was so Lucrative that someone would develop a keylogger program to get around even the authenticators. wow...
not to mention you only have 30 seconds.. is that even possible? I mean come on.. you have to get the code and enter it in 30 seconds before the code resets.. yeesh

It would have to be done with a script, the keylogger causes your game to crash so the machine it has waiting to login remotely is just waiting to jump on it.
