BitDefender an IT security company has warned that phishing scams are targeting online gamers' accounts for WoW (World of Warcraft) as well as Battle.net, the gaming website that's the biggest on the Internet and which belongs to Blizzard Entertainment based in USA. Malwarecity.com reported this in news on March 23, 2011.
Reportedly, in one of the phishing scams, fraudsters target users with an e-mail, which tells the recipient that an examination was done of his WoW account that showed solid clue of the account being traded or sold. It then says that incase the user's account is discovered going against the End-User License Agreement (EULA) and Terms of Use then he'll find his account closed/suspended/terminated. Malwarecity.com reported this.
Moreover, another same kind of phishing e-mail states that because of suspicious operations, it has become necessary to lock the recipient's Battle.net account. The user seemingly attempted at accessing his account a huge 403 times, prompting the gaming company to ponder if someone has seized his account. It therefore is taking some measures towards guaranteeing his account's authenticity, the e-mail continues. Electronictheatre.co.uk reported this on March 25, 2011.
