Hey...now i just started playing WoW again since i got my new computer...and before i started playing ive always gotten emails from "blizz" saying my password was changed blah blah blah even if my account wasn't active...but lately ive been getting emails, that looked pretty legit, saying i got 7 days free WoW time...before i even reactivated my account with the time card i bought at EB games...i clicked the link blah blah blah...then entered my time card code and started playing...today however i got another free 7 day time... i thought to myself "whoa! awesome more free time!" so i clicked the link...it asked me to log in...now ive been trough this before and i know the drill...i looked at the URL and it said "us.battlz" so right then and there i knew it was a scam and changed my password... now my thread is ment for two reasons... 1. To find out if blizz actually did send out legit free time and the first one i did was good... and 2. to warn people, and blizzard, that hackers are getting smarter and more realistic and will hack you even if your account isn't active... blizzard wont ask you to log in... hope this helps anyone and maybe blizz can find some way to prevent this from happening other then the authenticator which i recommend to EVERYONE

Heya Yeti,
There was a email sent by us to players from [email protected]. However, these can be easily faked, always check the email headers of the emails you receive from us, here is some information that can show you how to verify if an email is legit or not.
What should I look for in the header? Email headers contain information about the sender (who sent the email message), the path the email took to reach your inbox, and things that may have happened to the email before arriving. This information is very important and can be used to determine whether or not an email is malicious. Once you've accessed an email's header information, you'll want to attempt to verify the sending address. To do this, look at the "Return-Path" or the "originating address" for the email. For most phishing emails, the email address displayed in this location will differ from the address displayed in the "From" field.
X-SID-PRA [email protected] or Return-Path: < [email protected] > Received: from smtp01.worldofwarcraft.com ([XX.XXX.XXX.XXX]) by… Received: from … by smtp01.worldofwarcraft.com … for <Your Email Address>; Tue, 29 Jan 2008 10:46:05 GMT From: [email protected] To: Your Email Address If you feel you have received a phish, please forward the email to [email protected] , at your earliest convenience. When forwarding the email, copy and paste the entire email header into the message body to ensure that we are able to identify the source. This information will help us prevent future phishing emails of the same type. |
