I was able to get control of my account back through the password reset utility, after doing a full scan with an up-to-date antivirus and discovering a trojan and a virus called "Cryptor" or something along those lines (it's in the log soI can look it up is necessary). I never go anywhere on this computer that I don't go on my wife's computer, and the only thing different between the two is she's more responsible than I am and keeps her antivirus on and updated, and I logged into a vent server for a raid last night.
Prior to this I was actually laughing with my wife at the spate of guildies claiming to have been hacked, thinking they were a bunch of goldbuying scrubs. Then I tried to log in this morning and got the "incorrect information" bubble. Checking my armories pretty much confirmed it and then I spent the next 2 hours trying to get through to live representative before getting prompted to use an automated system and finding the password retrieval utility. By that time I had to leave for work. Needless to say it wasn't a happy day at work.
So, yeah, I don't know where I'm going with this. I'm currently sitting on a rock outside Lagaran, my bags full of crap I didn't mine, and empty of the various things I used to always have on hand, waiting on a GM petition. and just figured I point this out and remind everyone to always keep your antivirus on and up to date, because even if you think you're secure, you probably aren't.
Edit: While the tone of certain responders was a bit too condescending, I was able to filter out the info I needed and it was indeed just a freakish coincidence with Vent.
