It might be best to not even put the url to the evil armory site.

i agree, don't list the actual URL, or at least obfuscate it a little, maybe like how people do "email [at] example [dot] com"

and seriously, please do NOT even visit, let alone try to login with a profanity as a password. There are many exploits that can infect you by you just seeing an image or run some javascript. And even if you do it on a computer that you don't play wow on, as long as you are in the same network, whatever they infect you with could reach into your other computers.

It's best to just stay away.

Oh, I disagree: I think every WoW.com reader should visit the site and overload the damn thing. Die, Phishing site, DIE!

If they hadn't, then there wouldn't currently be at least one program spamming that site with 100s of fake passwords per minute via 1000s of unique IPs from all over the world via proxy servers making it a lot harder for them to discern the legit passwords of tragic fools from the fake passwords of a bot. :)
