WoW players being targeted with exploit
A security issue that was found in Microsoft Windows in March has begun to create trouble for WoW players.
On slashdot the users are commenting the situation
World of Warcraft is considered a better target for theft than a credit card. What kind of nerds are running those crime syndicates these days? Maybe if Blizzard came down on more of these gold-selling, account-selling, and item-selling service providers, this kind of nonsense wouldn’t even be an issue.
The flaw came to light in late March and lets attackers take over vulnerable PCs via booby-trapped websites.
Warcraft players seem to be one of the targets because accounts for the game are potentially worth significant sums of money.
Microsoft has issued a patch for the flaw early to combat the rising number of attacks.
The issue here is clearly that WoW accounts has plenty of gold and items in them – that creates a very significant interest from hackers and other blackhats for them to take the time to steal your world of warcraft credentials.
