At first i thought it was a hacker who got into my WoW account and had done these changes, but when i right clicked the email and clicked "view source" the email came from allenrofl@gmail.com


Be very careful not to click the links on these emails, I made the sad mistake of believing it was a legitimate email from Blizzard.

Q u o t e:
Sorry about that >.< but when i followed the link it lead me to a legit battle.net login but i was never able to log into it due to firefox's anti phishing software.

edit: actually the site is the legit battle.net login. Now this doesn't make any sense >.<


Doubtful unless the compromiser messed up.

They setup fake look-alike sites, that takes less than 5 min.
