Keylogging scammers are once again laying siege to World of Warcraft gamers, The Register reports.
In the latest attack, malware designed to steal user names and passwords from World of Warcraft players has been planted on maliciously constructed websites that pose as repositories for gaming advice.
Unprotected Windows users visiting these sites can get infected through malicious browser pop-ups. The malware also spreads through infectious emails, game forums, in-game chat, and other mediums. The culprit of the latest attack is a variant of PE.Looked, a strain that normally targets the popular online game Lineage.
Many WoW gamers have been hit by the scam and a good number are now having difficulty getting access to their account.
