I just wanted to post a heads up here for you guys about a hole in Adobe Flash player. Curse Gaming was affected, WorldofRaids was affected as well. And those are just the sites I know. The hole allowed for a keylogger to be downloaded. I'd know, rather unfortunately I was one of the ones it caught. Still waiting for Blizzard to unlock my account after "unauthorized access" I don't know the extent of the damage done yet. It's honestly got me worried sick, and angry besides. Long of the short, Adobe has patched the problem, so update your Flash player.

Dont be surprised if your gear is gone. Also dont be surprised if mining is maxxed out (450/450)
It happened to my friend. He got his account back though and made 2k+ on selling ore
The hacker traded Saronite to enchanters to disenchant the gear. You'll get it back, dont worry.

It's times like this I hate being on the East Coast. I'm awake, I want my account back. But it's 7am PST so Blizzard is still asleep. =\

Seriously, if you would have had this program installed, you wouldn't have suffered the wrath.

Authenticators are not the end of the story. /facepalm
Authenticators are an additional layer of security, but there is no such thing as absolute security. Read
this
article. It's called social engineering.

Didn't this Adobe thing happen like 6 months ago?
How is it possible that you had not heard about this previous to now?
On a more serious note, get yourself an authenticator...end of story...
Yes it did. . . this is a different case.
Hey look, somebody else gets it.

Read the
link
above. You'll see I speak the truth. Sure, the authenticator is an excellent idea, and if you don't have one then I recommend you get one. Just don't be fooled into thinking it's all you need to protect your account.
Edit: added link for clarity

I still fail to understand how people get keylogged. I've had my account since like March 2003, and have never had any problem like that.
People get keylogged by going onto a fake site and putting in their account name/ password. I was playing for 2 years and about 1 month and a half ago, I was hacked by a fake blizzard website. They usually wait until Friday night to hack. That's when Blizzard shuts down their "Change account password" options. However GM's are still online 24/7. It may take a long time to get one to talk to you now, but they should be able to help you as much as telling you what to do. My level80 character,level70 druid, and 65 priest were hacked. 1.4k gold was lost.

I went to one of those spoof sites once when I got their poorly worded threat email (from a public computer, putting in garbage info for lulz) and I am even more amazed that they would get anyone with a firing synapse. They seriously just copy the WoW site images and paste them in pretty much at random. And going to any of the other "links" on the site that should be there just lead back to the front page. I weep for this generation.
