A thriving market DateTime:5/23/2012 10:37:34 AM
There are more than 8 million WoW players, so even if tens of thousands are finding their accounts compromised, that's still a very small percentage of the total.An "important means of protecting your account information is keeping your system up-to-date," Blizzard wrote in an April 6 forum posting on the official WoW Web site. "For instance, installing the latest Windows security patch is a good way to avoid exploits designed to steal your login and password details." Buy cheap wow gold here !
But for the hackers, the rewards can be substantial. That's because many players hoard gold, weapons, spells or armor worth a lot of money on the open market. Even though Blizzard doesn't officially allow players to buy or sell those goods, there is a thriving market for them (and that's in spite of the fact that eBay, one of the most popular venues for such transactions, recently decided to ban them).Friedman, in fact, acknowledged that he is lax about such things.But some players would be the first to admit they do a poor job of updating their security software. As a result, they are perfect targets for hackers. Friedman also said he appreciates that Blizzard is acting quickly to shut down accounts after they have been compromised, since it alerts players to problems with their computers.
