I have seen so many of these stories on all wow boards and always the victim claim they were hacked by some pro that knew exactly what they were doing. Now if this were true do you think someone with those skills is going to spend the time and effort to steal wow accounts that are only worth a couple of hundred dollars / pounds at the most.

Now I am not saying this guy is lying about anything but I find it strange that he claims to work for cisco saying he uses his computer to do his work and that is how they may have got his wow account details, now I have worked for a number of various small and big companies in the IT sector and none of them would allow the use of a work laptop to play games or to actually even install your own software. Second none of them have ever used Norton 360 for their anti-virus protection, it is just crap from start to finish. Now I am willing to admit that some companies may allow you to do these things but in my humble opinion they are asking for trouble and I do not think that a company as big as cisco would be one of them.

As for getting a virus / trojan or any other little nasty password stealing software when you claim you never installed anything I still find hard to believe. I am either the luckiest person around or something as I use firefox but dont block adverts or scripts, I only have avast home edition and the built in firewall in my router and have never had anything like this and I visit all sorts of sites daily.

I have five accounts all with same password accounts names only change by a single digit, maybe it will happen to me one day, but I am fairly sure I will know how it happened and am sure it will not be some elite hacker getting into my system because it would not be worth their time and effort.

I do feel sorry for any one that this happens to and hope they get it sorted out soon.
Sorry for the rant and don't take it personally this is aimed at all the people that claim they were hacked by some elite hacker.
