Wowhead hacked?

#0 - May 16, 2010, 2:51 a.m.

After a quick visit to wowhead my anti-virus just went nuts screaming about a key loggers being installed. My guess is that someone hacked the site and is using it to mine for accounts. If you've been to the site recently do a full system scan with your AV software ASAP.

EDIT: Just to clarify, there seems to be a rise of issues for Norton users posted in the Tech Support forum about one particular file which may or may not be related to what you guys have experienced. Just wanted to share some of the info I've seen today to help.
