WoW players falling prey to more scams |
Ó
One should never view the world through rose-tainted glasses. So if you think that the real world is the only one messed up, think again because the virtual world of MMORPG has been becoming a haven for all sorts of conflict and crime.We earlier shared to you some ways to protect yourself from World of Warcraft key-logger scams, most would think that people would be more cautious, but apparently, more are falling prey to all sorts of duping in the MMORPG land.
Recently, an official WoW forum post mentioned that they want their community to be aware of a recent account-theft fiasco that is allegedly being circulated via email, game forums, in-game chat among many other mediums.
Apparently, this involves fake URLs that when clicked, will install the pesky key-logging software that will steal your WoW account name and password. Obviously, the scammers will then change your password and will lock you out, then they will sell all your items and transfer all of your gold.
Aside from that, a recently released trojan is also damaging accounts. Some websites have been exploiting a vulnerability in Windows and Internet Explorer. The result? The trojan loads into your system, steals your account names and password. With all that aptly mentioned, take extra caution and never treat the virtual world as a la-la land where nothing could go wrong.
