Absent keylogging or loss of login information via real world stupidity, it is almost impossible to random crack a WoW account, and not remotely worth the effort you would need to do it.
You have a username and a password that are non-confirming and independent, both of which can be quite long, and you also have a non-instant transmission to Blizzard. This last one is a real PITA for anyone because it means that every attempt will take some measureable amount of real time.
Oh, and you need a computer with WoW installed to access an account so random zombie machines are useless.
This password structure is really pretty tough. I don't recall there ever being a single documented incident of a WoW player with "real" usernames and passwords (i.e. not "bob"/"lol") being hacked without keylogging software or some personal security issue unrelated to Blizzard's structure of the WoW username and password.
