New World of Warcraft Trojan

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.Filed under: Cheats, News items

Oh come on, MAN :(
I am changing my password right now,
Two of my friends, lost their accounts and it took them 3 weeks to get it back. ( They got it back last Saturday [16/6/2006]). One friend got back all of his items and gold, but the other wasnt so lucky, he lost everything [ Over 1000 gold, around 14 epics and so on...]
Hope this one isnt as bad as the first
