As we all know some members in our guild have been hacked Please go to your profile on these forums by doing the following
log in click profile on the bar above click modify profile scroll down to account preferences and make sure the box beside hide email to yes
this is just a precaution it does not mean that they used these forums to hack our fellow members

What if you don't use the forums and never put an email in in the first place?

I personally have like 4 e-mails, just cause I like business and personal stuff seperate yeah owning two websires, I have them setup to forward anything to those sites to my email. Anyname@swprise.com or anyname@norcalfishingreport.com get forwarded, lets me customize email address for what ever site I am doing and know where the email is coming from. IE myspace@swpride.com

Theres a number of ways hackers can get your account info, 1 thing for fitz to check is what addons he had installed, one of the addons could have very well been hacked. also there are some people who have put malicious code into the scripts on some web pages. disabling that on your browsers can also improve security. I personally have mine set to where I don't even see 80% of advertisements and they just show up as boxes saying I don't have a connection. With a game as big as WoW I wouldn't go to just any site that has info, I know warlocks den had been hacked and was getting people infected for a little bit there. I know there were other sites as well but I would have to do a bit of digging to list the others I knew about here. I do believe curse was hacked for a while as well.
