WoW fake movie website installing keylogger

News | April 10, 2008 (2 months, 3 weeks ago) | by Mera_LaCroisadeEcarlate | via www.zataz.com | Filed in World of Warcraft

There have been a few domains registered with a similar name to our real domain "warcraftmovies.com" that are used for spreading harmful content. says baloo of the real website http://www.warcraftmovies.com

This domain name WarcraftSmovies.com was registered TODAY (7 April 2008) by a chinese company. The site is duping people into visiting it thinking they are going to the legitimate warcraftmovies.com (no S after warcraft) says a WoW gamer on the forum.

The malicious website appears currently down but you may survey your computer carefully about nasty keyloggers

"For this reason, it is always a good idea to bookmark the true website and use that to access it."

I suggest the opposite. Do not use bookmarks (if you can help it). Remeber the URL (address) and type it manually each time you need to go to a website. It will leave you in control of where you are going.

Regularly Virus Scan, Spyware, Trojan, etc. etc.

Until you mis-type the site name. Be very careful once, be sure it's the correct site, then bookmark it & you don't have to worry. If you manually enter the site every time, you run the risk of a error every time, rather than once.

is there a way ( or a program) to block/scan for keyloggers on your computer?

Unfortunely no there is no 100% safe protection but my recommendation about an AV is Kaspersky, rated #1 on lots of AV bench website and I'm almost sure it is already detecting this hack.

scammers FTL :-(

This almost looks like a new gold-farming strategy, where they would hijack somebody's account, to transfer the owner's gold to a toon belonging to them, and the later sell it on to other people...

Or perhaps they're planning to make money from selling the accounts on eBay...

Nasty business =\

Alas, there is nothing new about this strategy... It has long been the prime method of gold-farming websites to acquire money to sell. You'll find that almost every website that has a large following will take you to bad websites if you type it in incorrectly. For this reason, it is always a good idea to bookmark the true website and use that to access it.
