WoW logo - Image 1From the looks of it, the Blizzard's World of Warcraft MMORPG's forums isn't the only place under siege from key-loggers and trojans. Curse-gaming - another site frequented by WoW's gaming community - has just sent out an urgent message warning members that there have been reports of emails being circulated that appear to have come from Curse's support staff.

The announcement further warned the residents that these bogus messages stated that they carried "updated addons" information, but were really links to downloads to Rapidshare servers with executables. Attempt to click on these emails, and you run the risk of having a trojan infecting your system.

As a further clarification of the fake emails, the staff indicated that only urls that carried official Curse downloads are on curse.com, cursebeta.com, or curse-gaming.com. We advise readers among the WoW gamers to take heed of this warning - keylogging's been on the rise lately, and given how much time and money are spent in creating a character for the game, it doesn't hurt to be extra careful.
