Even more World of Warcraft accounts have recently been "stolen" due to people responding to scam emails.A whole bunch of fake emails from noreply@blizzard.com have recently been sent out again, in particular in the last week where numerous emails were sent between the 25th and 29th of March.
The emails claim that your account has been compromised and that you should therefor comfirm your identity with account details such as your secret question and World of Warcraft CD key. This, however, is a scam in order to then take your account which will then be sold off.
The email looks realistic and the links forward you to what looks like an official blizzard page, but be aware, they are far from real.
It is adviced to not sign in your account from any link pasted or sent to you, but to directly log in your account from the official World of Warcraft website.
If you already have entered the details through the emails and think that your account has been compromised, you can contact the official Blizzard Account Security Support.

Haven't played World of Warcraft for over a year, thus received other warnings; "final" warning, but traded the char, which lasted ~1 month, because the buyer didn't like the char, so received it back. Got the €50 though. :D What amazes me is that there is no link to external site in the concerned mail. All of the links point to blizzard.com address.
But now some people know that scam mail as well. :)
Well, good thing I didn't open any links or bothered a bit. As a matter of fact, I couldn't care less about my WoW account :X
ahahah :O!!!
That was yesterday and today we have a new here at SK, that's what I call quick response! :P
Oh i see what you did thar.
Woulda been EPIC though, if this was a scam :D

Hope that it didnt do that much damage! Unlucky for the guys who lost their accounts.
Even though it sucks to get it stolen, you can stil send a picture of a picture legimitation with your personal information on it.
Then you'll get it back. - However thanks to this post that situation shouldn't show up.
thanks SK! :)
like ragnaros always says: " BY FIRE BE PURGED !! "
