WoW: via MMO Champ: "Authenticator Accounts Hacked" (and other news)

Authenticator Accounts Hacked, ICC Quests and Crimson Deathcharger!

From the article:
"How to check if you're infected
Just search for a file named "emcor.dll" on your computer, it is most likely located in "C:\Users\(Your user name)\AppData\Temp" but I suggest that you check everything just to be sure. If you do find the file, delete it and make sure you update your anti-virus to prevent any further problem.

To be honest, if you found this file your account is probably already compromised." - as posted by Boubouille, MMO-Champ administrator

Blue reference, included in the post made by Boubouille, the attack as Man-In-the-Middle-Attack. Interesting stuff. A little annoying but then again, nothing is ever completely 100% fool-proof.

Clever clever. I wonder how long before Blizzard adds some form of remote peer validation like you get with X509 certs as well. (Even though there are ways around that)
