I was reading the other day in a greek forum that people are stealing wow accounts . at first i thought it was some kind of urban legend but yesterday i was told that 3 accounts ,from people i know, were stolen . These people played in Stormscale and Twillight Hammer . There was some kind of virus in wow.allakhazam.com that this people got . The persons who stole their accounts logged in and sold all their items in npc vendors and gave away their money :( .

I don't know if this whole thing can happen if u have anti-virus protection at your pc but i think it's wise to change your password every once in a while ;)


p.s i hope i posted at the correct section if not pls excuse me and move the topic :wacko:

p.s sorry for posting in english but i dont speak or write italian , yet :P

Trojan Virus Alert

This only applies to you if you are running an older version of Internet Explorer, have not updated windows with the latest security patches and do not have virus protection on your computer. Apparantly one of our ad providers was affected by a trojan and was serving it to our site for several days last weekend. This is a keylogger and could possibly compromise your game login and password. As soon as we discovered it, we pulled all of their ads.

To see if you got the trojan, go to Program Files/Internet Explorer in your directory and look for a file named "syssmss.exe". If it is there, then open your task manager and delete the file. Also go to %WIN_DIR%\Downloaded Program Files and delete a file named either "fucksnow.exe" or "muma.exe". Then once you have done that, log into the game and change your password.

There are also several online sites that scan your computer for free.

We apologize for this. In 6 years of running this site, nothing like this has ever happened. It kills me to think that we may have, even inadvertantly, caused anyone to have their account compromised. We're all about making the games better and more fun. Believe me, we will do everything in our power to make sure it does not happen again.

Along with the advertiser who sent this, and in cooperation with the FBI, we are attempting to track down the people who sent this. I hope I get a few minutes in a back room with the bastards.
