Curse Client Google Ad Scam
A few months ago a couple of people got hacked because of malicious google ads redirecting to fake armory pages. (See this news)

The same problem is now affecting the Curse.com client that many of you use to update and download addon.


Whenever you try to reach a popular WoW site (including mmo-champion) always type the URL in your browser's adress bar or bookmark it, don't click links from external websites or google them.

==========================================

I personally use google chrome web browser. It automatically lists authenticated websites when you start typing in the web bar. it will not take you to 3rd party sites... at least it hasn't so far.

i also change my Email with blizz as well as my pass word about once a month.. thanks too google email. it's easy to make multiple accounts but keep everything in one email browser. so it's not like you'll miss the email b/c you can link multiple email address in to one address via forwarding.

Be safe out there on the web! don't let your effort and hard work get ganked b/c of a foolish click.

I also highly recommend everyone looking into installing a HOSTS file with unwanted sites blocked, in addition to the other normal security measures they take.
