Nethaera and Drokthul keylogged - Image 1 


If you've ever wanted to know just how bad keyloggers can get, here's an object lesson for the folks who scoff at them. It seems no one is safe from keyloggers, not even Blizzard representatives, because two community managers just happened to have been hit by hacks, and were seen posting keyloggers on the forums.

The two CMs involved, Drokthul and Nethaera, apparently had themselves hacked. Eyonix was on the scene, however, so the two were promptly banned until things could be sorted out. As noted in the above picture we took of the forums, Eyonix remarked, "The situation is now under control everyone. I'm afraid they were victims of moderation. I must admit, banning them was fun."

In the meantime, it's an important wake-up call to folks who aren't very cautious. Even if it's a trusted person who sends you a link, check the URL to avoid the hassle of getting hacked. Better still, add some anti-keylogging protection to help you against problematic hackers.
