False wow armory

#0 - Aug. 17, 2010, 4:59 a.m.

I do not know if this has been reported, I ran a search but came up with nothing. I'd like to warn people that there is a false wow armory out there. I was recently hacked, and I figured out why. I went to this armory thinking it was THE armory, but it asked for my account and login, having recently returned from a 2 year hiatus, I couldn't remember if this was normal or not, so I thought nothing of it. Lo and behold I was hacked. So, if you go to this armory website, do not log in. It looks extremely legit. Thanks for your time! I can post the link if asked by a GM.

This is a trick they've been pulling for some time. They will make fake websites to steal information that either look like ours - or popular addon sites and then sponsor a google placement so it shows up at the top.

If you use Firefox, under the help menu, there is also a link to report Web Forgery. Reporting such sites in that manner is very helpful as well.
