Security researchers say that scammers are stepping up attacks on World of Warcraft players. Someone has written how official forums are being used to spread the news which leads to malware that steals passwords and other game credentials. Just like the general skills, the story tells people that their Adobe Flash player should follow the new times.
    Elsewhere, some people are churning out emails that purport to be official communications from Blizzard, according to researchers from security provider Sophos. The emails claim the game maker is launching a new service and invites them to click on a link for a free sneak peak. 
The attack outbreaks come a few weeks after Blizzard issued an update for Warcraft III that fixed a gaping hole that could lead to the complete hijacking of machines running the real-time strategy game. According to Webroot researcher Andrew Brandt, it was exploited simply by getting vulnerable victims to join a custom game hosted with booby-trapped maps.Attackers targeted the vulnerability in a game called DotA, or Defense of the Ancients, by creating fake maps that used the same file configurations as legitimate custom maps.
"What makes this exploit particularly nasty is the fact that your PC gets infected the moment you join a game where the infected wow gold map is in use," Brandt wrote. "Once downloaded, the game automatically unpacks the infected map and executes the malicious code."
When it comes to April, the storm had a great influence on players steer clear of all custom games unless a patch could be released. But if the hole is full filled, attackers will try to find another chance or use another method in order to pray on players.
