There has been times where I have opened sc2 after a crash and my b.net id is not remembered.
This would not fool everyone but would fool some, there are a lot of things that would make people aware of it being a scam, and then others would not be expecting it and just proceed as normal.
For this to work, it would have to get you to type your b.net ID in as well as your password, what good is a password without the username?
This is definitely doable, but as also said above, would not last long until you were permabanned, and because everything is done through battle.net I would assume the accounts if any that got tricked into typing their username and password, blizzard would lock them until the owner contacted them.
O wow, seems like it's pretty possible. Hmm, what if you opened a map in your editor.. can data be sent out/collected just via editor? Like, you can log into bnet from the editor so I'm wondering if a map can send information the same way.
No, that's impossible without using some type of trojan/keylogger. The only possible way is if someone plays a custom map with you and that custom map has the fake login screen thing. Maps can't just send information anywhere they want.

You can write the data into a bank.
Then, when you play the map again it can send the data to you (provided you are in the game).
That'd require you to make a map that people actually play more than once :P
But it'd be the "viral" approach to this. "If" the online users are too stupid you could gather large amounts of log-ins in short time.
Although seriously, I don't see the need to be "that complicated".
Make something like "Bnet confirmation error: to save your custom map data in banks, relogging is necessary."
Would be fine for a RPG-style map, or anything saving some data. People out there is dumber than you think. If they fall for obvious "giev pw" scam emails, something like this, asking a confirmation for saving information on banks, would probably get through.
Another option, much more better, is telling people to create an in-map account, and require its data to load banks. After that, you would require an email address to send interesting map news. Once you have this, simple usage of brain: try that pw with that email account. If the user is dumb, he will use the same data as the Bnet login.
However:
You would need to make the hax map popular
Someone with a minimum intellect would notice and tell Blizzard, getting you banned
Also, why would you want to hack any SC2 account? WoW, I understand it, there's people selling gold and shizz, but with SC2, the user will inform Blizzard and recover it. It's just pointless.
But yes, as far as I see it, it's very possible. See everything I thought by myself, and I'm not even a hacker.
Even if it did. Blizzard would remove it by the time this sentence is written.
Not to mention that Starcraft 2 doesn't make much sense as a Target (Unless other stuff is attached to the account), World of Warcraft does.
If I was a hacker and I wanted your password, it'd be much easier for me to con it out of you or do it with Malicious .EXE file.
So how do you get that exe file onto the other person's computer? Especially if it's a nerd who only uses his net to play games :D
And actually I think the map would stay online for a few days. Blizzard is slow to react.
The map would stay online for awhile and in the mean time you would steal quite a few peoples accounts so once your account gets banned you could just use one of the stolen accounts to restart. You could then resell the accounts as they have all the games the blizzard games that player had attached to them (you could conceivably get like 3 games for resale)
ofc this all rellys on people being stupid and blizzard being slow so It would probably only work once or twice before blizz caght on.
And plz no one do this because if you do it will just make blizzard take away our powers. (I don't think anyone is seriously considering it just pointing that out)

Hm... interesting.
