Some guy using a fake gm handle (hacked i guess) messaged me in game telling my account had been temporarily suspended and linked me to some weird site, since he was a [GM] i went there and it tried to download a key logger on my computer... luckily spy-ware terminator blocked it before it had the chance... im buying an authenticator.

The following response was written by one of our new teammates. Because they are still in training and do not yet possess a forum account of their own, they shall be posting via proxy through me.

If you did go to this malicious site Khrava, I would still recommend scanning your computer for any malicious software that potentially bypassed your security software. Additionally, if you have not already, please submit a petition with the name and realm of the character that whispered you, along with a brief description of the situation. This will allow us to investigate the issue and take all appropriate actions towards the offending account.

Thank you so much for your vigilance!
