Got hacked while on MMO-Champion.com
The whole Adobe Flash exploit bullshit... just be careful.

It's getting to the point where it's tempting to disable flash, or have a dedicated machine for surfing the net, or surfing in a virtual machine. /sigh
does that one goes through authenticator security?

Just use on screen keyboard they are not keylog-able.

Are you insinuating that mmo champ ran an ad that compromised your comp? That being said might be one of the most rewarding hacks in wow history.

Taken from the almighty Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystroke_logging):
On-screen keyboards
Most on screen keyboards (such as the onscreen keyboard that comes with Microsoft Windows XP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP)) send normal keyboard event messages to the external target program to type text. Every software keylogger can log these typed characters sent from one program to another. Additionally, keylogging software can take screenshots of what is displayed on the screen (periodically, and/or upon each mouse click).

I forgot to add authenticator to 2ndary account... it only had 1 account + some PTR shit. Was still enough to wipe out my guild bank.

I'd be "pwnd" if I could read what fenril says unless someone quotes him. Little update.... it helps knowing a GM or two I went out for dinner and by the time I got back my shit was all back.

It also helps knowing where to use punctuation, because without it your sentences don't make any sense. :)

Fenril was quoting the post from Blacky_chan, and linked a wiki post saying that virtual keyboards were useless as they still send keyboard event messages that keyloggers read anyway.
Good to hear you got your shit back
on a side note, here's the invader derailing thread!

how can you be so sure the hack originated from an ad on mmo-champion ? Your account could have been on queue for months..
IMO this is another reason to install adblock (and only use firefox or chrome).

Yet another account compromised because of failure to do the best you can to maintain account security (Authenticator). Nothing really to see here. Another flash exploit, another keylogged account that didn't have an authenticator.

I made the mistake, that is true. But that doesn't mean that I should not warn people about this.
Flash was updated recently... I suggest updating it.
Also as to how do I know it originated from mmo-champion? I had two websites open. MMO and d2jsp. It being in "que" doesn't make sense as a majority of the time I am on that account while boxing and in the one instance I was not and was logged into a website in my browser that had flash based ads logged into that account to check something then out... and it gets hacked that exact night... yeah too good to be just a coincidence.
Anyway. It's all fixed. Authenticator + anti-script plugin.

Thank you for warning us that you are an idiot.
Your post wasn't really a warning it was more an assumption that could have been prevented if you used an authenticator. Then you proceed to say OMG LOOK AT ME IZ KNOW DA GMS BRO. Instead of saying something like "Fortunately they were able to restore my account and all is well. Just a heads up for people who like to browse MMO-Champion and forget to authenticate".

/just saying You are comparing apples with tomatoes, since according to that article you need a working user account to exploit the bug. 'foolproof & 100% are your words. Don't think anyone with common sense is gonna state that something that is made by humans can ever be 100% foolproof. But it's pretty clear that both operating systems play in a different league, one in the secure league, and another one in the insecure league. You blame him for not having an authenticator, by that same logic i blame him for not having a secure OS.

I understand your argument as well as your logic. I was just pointing out it's not always so simple as "not having a secure OS"
you should stop advertising for non-windows OS.
If enough people hear you and make the move, so will the hackers.You basically have nothing to gain, and everything to lose.
TLDR: gloating about the awesome lack of virus/hacks of your OS will only bring viruses/hackers to your OS in the long term.

There are more people surfing the web using Java ME as their OS than linux. Yeah, I get the point about basic differences in design but you can't really judge something that falls below the statistical noise floor of usage against something that 92% of the world uses. Apples and tomatoes, indeed, as you have completely different players in the game. Hackers who are out to actually make money wouldn't target linux even if it were LESS secure because there's no money in it due to the vanishingly small market.

. Personally I prefer that you would quote me without changing what I wrote. There are other ways to make your point instead of making it look like I wrote that. But obviously I have no influence on that. Anyways:
Hackers who are out to actually make money wouldn't target linux even if it were LESS secure because there's no money in it due to the vanishingly small market.
You forget the fact that Linux is widely used in the server market as well. Saying there's no money in there for a hacker is ... well being ignorant tmho. Obviously there is a difference how a server & home user are being targeted by hackers. Calling an opensource os so widely used among top universities, businesses & scientific organizations 'obscure', compared to a commercial closed source os with a past of failure, is ... well plain stupid.

This thread is so ironic.
The guy who showed us how to setup a dodgy PC version of the mobile authenticator 'forgets' to add it to his second account then proceeds to blame MMO-Champion in a rather vague post and then proceeds to tell us how cool he is for knowing some GM's.
You better go write us up a huge guide on how to use common sense. Please.
At least your not writing huge threads about how much uni homework you have anymore or exactly how many pages each project is.
I hope these forums get back to being interesting and fun once Cataclysm hits because Shodokan the Clown is getting a bit old. :/
