I've been playing MMOs for about 12yrs now starting with EQ1... Never had any issues with EQ however I have been hacked more than once on WoW. Dec of last year my g/f's account and 2 of mine were hacked with that flash exploit. I have been using Firefox with noscript / noad etc... now days it doesn't really matter if some one is determined they can get your info. With the most recent Wowhead issue they got 2 of my accounts some how ( this is how I know it is a program and not a person). They hacked 2 out of 9 accounts all have similar usernames... but they were all on the same password. This time they actually managed to change my emails, transfers chars off, etc... I really only go to 2 WoW related sites dual-boxing.com and wowhead, but can never be too cautious.
Both times this has happened Blizz has been really prompt about restoring any damages caused etc... About 2 months ago I think some one attempted a hack on one of my accounts and blizzard detected it. They ban the account for 24hrs to let me secure my computer/accounts etc... They must have been watching IPs or soemthing and when I log in everyday in California... then suddenly in Taiwan I'm logged in they are like ban hammer !
