New World of Warcraft Trojan
Jun 19th, 2006
A new trojan is out in the wild looking to steal your Warcraft login information. Once infected, this virus will attempt to log all keystrokes sent between your computer and the login servers (us.logon.worldofwarcraft.com or eu.logon.worldofwarcraft.com). Any data it collects - which would include your username and password - will then be sent off to a remote attacker. Symantec is currently reporting that the virus hasn't spread far yet, but it's time-consuming and difficult to recover a lost account, whereas it's fairly quick and painless to make sure your anti-virus definitions are up to date.Password Stealing Trojan

A new trojan out in the wild is attacking computers
with the goal of stealing your
World of Warcraft account information. It may seem like a trivial target for virus writers, but there's
definitely money to be made reselling in-game items - and, thus, money to made by stealing your password. So be
certain to keep your anti-virus up to date and if your account has been compromised, contact a GM or the billing department, but expect a lengthy process of
investigation to have your items or account restored.
