Recently there are news about the extremely successful World of Warcraft (WoW) massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG). So it causes problems. Some scammers have launched phishing spam attacks on the gamers. They aim at tricking gamers to make gamers give up their WoW account information. The researchers have spotted phishing spam as an official offer from Blizzard Entertainment, the company behind WoW. The spam email claims to offer a free trial of new WoW mounts (fantastical beasts players in the game can ride). Recipients who want the phony free trial are directed to click a link that spoofs the WoW website and asks users to use their login name and password to gain access to the new mounts. "Naturally, your WoW game account will be stolen once this confidential information has been submitted," Sophos warned in a blog post. "As the online gaming community grows, we anticipate such phishing scams targeting the MMORPG to continue to proliferate." Scammers have targeted WoW gamers with similar spam in the past. Blizzard Entertainment, which just released details of the newest expansion to the game, called World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, warns users on its website about threats from Trojan malware. Anyone who plays the popular online role-playing game WoW is warned to be on the lookout for a phishing scam that has been spotted in circulation. An email which claims to come from Blizzard Entertainment - the company behind WoW - invites recipients to take part in a trial of some new mounts for the game. In the email there is a link which when clicked on takes you to a login screen that looks very similar to the usual WoW login page. However, the page does not tell the truth, and it also makes to tell your account name, password and email address, even some secret. That online game is a valuable industry worth billions of money. Just because of that, so there is of no doubt that it will cause the attention of the community. The company warned people not to click a URL in email.
