dont download TBC!!!

[avester]

Today i found out after getting all my friends that play wow to download it that it was a keylogger i have no proof but all my friends including me got our accounts hacked DONT DOWNLOAD IT!

[Relz]

rofl, blizzard wont give out keyloggers....thx for the laugh. you probably downloaded some "z0mg t3h 1337 h4xxx!" hack that got you it. or you used a "keygen" for a program that installed a keylogger. TBC is clean.

[avester]

im talking about the emulator download....someone on emupedia.com posted a emulator download link and about everyone that visited that site downloaded it and everyone happened to get hacked, also if that isnt the problem it could be someone that made a website to look like Blizzards website with a fake keylogger download although i doubt that would be right

[Matt]

ya.. blizz wont hack their own users accounts.

i nearly pee'd my pants after reading this. i doubted it but i was still scared. im always safe to not hack and such and only exploits when, i know other are excepting it (Like some WSG exploits on 1.11 horde twinks on my server always used, we sort of got an unwritten agreement to use them ) but i always avoided ban at the best i could and when you ad this my heart shot to my gut for a couple of seconds...but now that i think about it i highly doubt this.... ive had it for a couple of days now and no stolen account or anything.

Sound like you want attention, considering it was beta.worldofwarcraft.com, that means it is from worldofwarcaft.com and for you to know "everyone got hacked from it" and no one here heard a thing is quite a stretch, but nice try (not really)

Rofl, Blizzard didn't put a keylogger on TBC...

Actually, with Warden... I wouldn't put it past Blizzard to put a keylogger on your computer. :P

Again, not trying to play a mods job, but can we ban this guy? all his posts are saying "Dont dowload it everyone gets hacked!!!!!!!!" which is pretty obviously not true.

EDIT:

We'd like to make the community aware of a recent account-theft scam that is being circulated through email, game forums, in-game chat, and other mediums. This scam involves fake URLs, or hyperlinks, that once clicked will install harmful "keylogging" software intended to steal your World of Warcraft account name and password. After the creators of these keyloggers steal this information, they log into your account, immediately change your password to lock you out, and then sell all of your items and transfer all of your gold.

The scam comes in many forms, including URLs advertised as links to class guides, gameplay videos, and in many cases user-interface (UI) modifications. As a general rule, be extremely wary of URLs ending in ".jpg.html" and ".scr," as in many cases the harmful software is being hidden at locations that end with these extensions.

For these reasons, it is very important that players take caution when being directed to outside websites and update the security on their computers accordingly. To secure your computer, we suggest adding some Internet security to your system (for example: a firewall and anti-virus scanner). If you are unsure what security measures to take, discuss the issue of system security with your ISP or a trained Network Administrator for the solution that is right for you.

We also strongly recommend that all players use the Blizzard Launcher to start World of Warcraft. In addition to serving as a portal to the game, the Blizzard Launcher provides greater security for our players against harmful software such as the type discussed here. To learn more about this utility, please visit the Blizzard Launcher Page and check out the Blizzard Launcher FAQ.

If you come across a suspicious link or program, please report it here.

For more information on keeping your account secure and what to do if you feel your account has been compromised, please visit the Account Security page.

...interesting...but it appears ts nothing to do with TBC considering no one else has seen any problems, but maybe you and all your friends tryed to download another thing? look into it please, before jumping to conclusions

You guys should really read his post. He clearly says that he is not talking about TBC from blizz , he's talking about the emulator on emupedia , for TBC. Also , I can confirm this , and name the keylogger if anyone wants too know the process name , since some people on my server tried too download this and got their accounts stolen. We all looked into it a little more and found a odd process.

Normally there are processes on your computer that uhh , are called SCVHOST.exe , well anyway , someone came up with the bright idea of making some links install a keylogger with a name near too exactly this , which is SVCH0ST.exe , with a 0 instead of a O.

I used both the sandbox, and the yawe emulator for TBC from that site... and I am not keylogged... accounts not stolen...

the sandbox .exe's are both clean

the emu servers .exe is clean mostly.. but it is a tad suspiscous

Samething here. Kinda obvious BLIZZARD wouldnt make a keyloggger on it, but ve come with no keyloggers, viruses, or anything, and ive downloaded both...

[Kru2]

Why would Blizzard need to make a keylogger, they already have your acc info.

And btw i downloaded both and none of them were infected.

[idusy-org]

Just decided to check out proccess real quick, and to be sure i launched both TBC things and checked. of course, there are tons of svchost.exe but they are all in lower cse letters so itd be hard to sneal in a svch0st, which there was none of those or SVCHOST or SVCH0ST. im not the smartest tool in the shed, they may be ablle to hide them a bit, but i kinda doubt nothing happened yet, and it doesnt look to much like anything IS going to happen, so i feel safe

Although i did see a "PRONoMgr.exe" which scared me at first, but i looked into it and its PRO notify mesenger (basiclly)

[Relz]

hmmm....i doubt they would put a key logger in anything. and to idusy are you sure tht .exe isnt a pornomanager? i mean, cmon PRONoMGR sounds like pornomanager......

[idusy-org]

Lol...i was thinking pron-OMG-r ...wierd ...

[s3xt0y]

If thay did keylog it , it wouldnt make a prosses , because keyloggers are sneaky and hide them selfs from registry and taskmanager.
