Hacked - need advice

[thinus]

And don't use the same account name or password that you use for your WoW accounts on any public forums.

I've been hacked twice in 2 years - both times the GMs restored everything minus enchants etc back. A lot of my alts were deleted and I didnt bother trying to get them back either.....I mean who cares about a warrior or a rogue anyway lol.
After completely cleaning the infected machine (which was my little used laptop) by installing linux over windows I realised as had been stated before that the scammers could use brute force. I now obsessive compulsively change my password after each wow session on my main accounts, even if I'm only logging out for a few minutes.
The account data is all in the Firefox browser cache so it doesn't take long in the retrieve password screen on wow.

By the way the keylogger was really easy to get and loads of wow players got it back in November 06, it was an advert on the alakazham website which downloaded the logger.

Firefox + Noscript! (http://noscript.net/) = Annoyance + Safety

It's annoying at first, but once you get the hang of noscript, it works pretty well, lets you run the scripts you want and not get raped.

After all the comments, what did you end up doing? Were you able to get your gold back? Was there a happy ending to the story?
