Cleaning out a wow account and selling the gold for $25 is not my idea of making money. I don;t even go for the bullcrap line of they are not going after people who steal wow accounts either. Good luck catching me ripping off your bank account if I'm in russia, seriously. The reason you get hacked is because you go to dumbass websites or you are foolish enough to get duped into entering your account info on a fake website or using a computer that doesnt belong to you. The day a hacker puts a keylogger on my computer is the day they break into my house and load it on my machine while I'm gone.
Manben already explained how he got hacked. I'm indeed sure you never made a typo when typing an url in your browser's address bar. Well, one thing I've learnt is that the fact you've never got into any trouble doesn't mean you're doing it perfectly.

A few weeks ago I did the same mistake than Manben and instead of wow-heroes I landed on a very strange website (I closed the tab very quickly so I only had the time to see some gold banners and a plugin related question). Hopefully I was on my linux computer so no harm came from my mistake. Phew.
