Thought I might throw a heads up out there cause my wife got an in game mail about a beta invite but I told her that it would be in your email if you were invited. Website is:

<removed>

and like I said looks way too legit but I'm also not sure since all the links actually lead too wow links. Not sure if this is a phishing attempt or if its real. If it is fake then I'm pretty sure of major copyright infringement.

Q u o t e:
If you've visited the site, make sure you run an antivirus and antimalware scan :)

And don't forget to read the Adobe thread in this forum (It's the bottom sticky)


^^ This.

That domain is registered in Shanghai, so no - not ours. It is quite likely to be full of malware, they don't always depend on you just handing over your information.

If you are ever curious about a domain, whois gives a wealth of information :)

I have seen them spoof the domain registries so it looks like us, Blue.

That's not 100% guarantee, but we have so few domains, just learning to read how one is constructed goes a long way.

One trick often used is hyphens. A hyphen is NOT and does NOT work the same way as a period in a URL.
