Tojan Horse virus stealing WoW passwords (IE users only)
[User]
Just passing out a warning regarding a Trojan Horse virus which has caused numerous WoW accounts to get hacked.
The Trojan Horse only affects users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, since it was embedded in the code of a pop-up banner that was being hosted on the Allakhazam site. People who visited the Allakhazam site in the past few weeks using IE as their browser have been exposed to this virus.
There is a thread about it on the Allakhazam forums. The responsible banner provider has since been spotted and has been blocked by Allakhazam until further notice.
To see if you are affected by this Trojan Horse, look in the Program files\internet explorer directory for a file called "syssmss.exe". If it is present, you have the Trojan on your machine; kill the process in the task manager and delete this file, along with the copy placed in %WIN_DIR%\Downloaded Program Files, called either "fucksnow.exe" or "muma.exe". Apologies for the name of that one file, but that's what it's called.
As a final note, people, who have a firewall and virus scanner which are up to date as well as run updates on their Windows OS often, should not have been infected. It appears the Trojan makes use of a security leak which has been fixed by Microsoft a while ago. More info is in the topic listed above.
lost a WoW account to that allakhazam hack a couple years back where if your internet explorer wasnt updated you was screwed think i still have the emails...

Hello,
Access to the World of Warcraft account LITHIUSS, and any World of Warcraft account associated with the payment information you have provided, has been permanently disabled. The account has been identified as having used unauthorized game modifications and thus is in violation of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use.
Please review the World of Warcraft Terms of Use at <http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html>, which you accepted when you installed World of Warcraft and established the account(s). Section 2, Paragraph C details the limitations of game play modifications and use of any third-party or "packet sniffing" software. In addition, Section 3, Paragraph C, parts iii and iv restrict the use of any hack, scripting or macroing software which obtains information from World of Warcraft to gain a competitive advantage over other players.
Furthermore, any activities not intended by game design which affect the economy, the client, player characters or the world itself have a tremendous negative impact on the potential enjoyment for all players. The effects of these activities take many forms including a bloated game economy, server instability, and allowing unauthorized access to accounts, computers, and player data.
As a result, the account(s) will no longer be accessible and will unfortunately not be reopened under any circumstances.
