Spam/Scam via WarcraftRealms

Post by Tino Didriksen »

So, I just received a scam attempt to my warcraftrealms@projectjj.com email address. This address is only used for this site and the address doesn't show up on a Google search.

This leads to 3 possible conclusions:
- The WarcraftRealms database has been compromised and copied by crackers.
- WarcraftRealms sold their user database.
- Someone made a very lucky guess.

The email can be viewed at http://tinodidriksen.com/uploads/warcra ... s-spam.txt (original Base64 version).

Ah, I have just seen http://www.warcraftrealms.com/forum/vie ... 5339#35339 after searching around for more information...

Might want to make that a bit more public knowledge.

All is well, and an authenticator is always a good idea :)
