World of Warcraft
beat mouse:
If your account is being compromised that quickly after security changes, a likely scenario is that you have a keylogger on your computer, allowing the foreign party immediate access to your new passwords/emails.
Yakob:
I highly recommend an authenticator. Bought one as soon as I had my hacking ordeal. I basically had the same thing that happened to you, Linds, except they leveled my mining on my rogue all the way to 450 and had bags full of some awesome ore.
Also, are you by any chance using the Curse Client to download addons? I think that was a major way in for keyloggers, at least in my guild/server.
jmrz:
I use the iPhone authenticator and cannot rate it highly enough. GET AN AUTHENTICATOR. Why anyone playing WoW on a windows machine doesn't have one yet is beyond me. They are good, they are fairly cheap and they protect your account - considering most of us spend stupid amounts of money on this game every year, it's a solid investment if you're at least halfway serious about the game.
Lines:
They've changed my password again. I don't know how to scan my computer for keyloggers. I have a Mac, what should I look for? I deleted the AddOns I had... should I completely delete the entire wow folder?
Edit: Nevermind. I found MacScan and found some tracking cookies, so those got deleted and my mom took my laptop to work so that the Mac savvy tech people there can take a look at it too.
clockworkjames:
Change the password then BUY AN AUTHENTICATOR.
Dunno if anyone else has said it.
Oh w8.
