That's the dupe bug that was fixed yesterday on the Asian servers.
Notes:
* It's not "yet another dupe", it's the one-and-only one.
* The items disappeared on leaving the game, so you could vendor/scrap them, but not sell them on the AH.
* It was hotfixed yesterday.
* It never affected US or EU servers.
well informed and well written. thank you for clarifying this.
It is just the beginning. They have already found a way in, now they go off that knowledge and find 10 more ways in. Blizzard fails at security once again ha.

Actually, I know of some dupes that happened on the Americas server. I don't think the method was reproducible though, it was more of a freak occurrence.
A Legendary belt dropped for a friend of mine, he identified it, then ran into a dungeon to clear it. When he clicked the waystone to port to the entrance again, there was another Legendary in the same spot on the ground. He picked it up and identified it to find that it rolled the exact same stats as the first one he picked up just minutes ago in the same spot. He proceeded to send in a ticket to Blizzard recounting the experience.

Show us how to make a system that runs online that some of the best hackers in the world cannot break then, i dare you.

Things aren't being hacked. Bugs are being found. These are two very different things.
Its just like blaming Microsoft for the security issues... when you have thousands of the best hackers going over ever bit of code to find exploits and issues, they will find them no matter how good you are. People say Macs are "more secure" and dont get viruses, actually Macs are less popular and have less to gain for the hackers/criminals to put their time and effort into finding the flaws.
d3 has the impending RMAH, which is a big carrot to throw in front of people.... which is why they are pushing to find all the exploits and ways to do things, the quicker they find them, the better chance they have to make real money.

Exactly, it's not hacking, it's a problem with the game.
Watch that and tell me that's not Blizzard's fault. I'm glad they are on top of it though, hopefully they learned something from it that will only strengthen their game systems and security.
The dupes on the American servers were still there when you left the game (but they were also randomly duped). The dupes in the video could only be salvaged/vendored.
