Update: The Key-Logger which steals account names and passwords continues to circulate. We remind players to be especially vigilant when being directed to external websites and to update the security on their computers.
This account-theft scam is being circulated via email, game forums, in-game chat, and other mediums. We’d like to make the community aware of this scam that involves fake URLs or hyperlinks which, once clicked, will install harmful “key-logging” software, which will then attempt to steal your World of Warcraft account name and password.
The scam comes in many forms, including URLs advertised as links to class guides, gameplay videos, and, in many cases, user-interface (UI) modifications. For these reasons, it is very important that players take caution when being directed to external websites and update the security on their computers accordingly.
A complete guide to avoid being scammed is now proposed in the Game Masters forum. Be sure to check this page.
