Smarter than You

I play World of Warcraft, this isn't a secret. Every day my spam folder in gmail is literally filled with fake e-mails from "Blizzard" trying to get me to hand over my login information like I'm new to the internet. Full of spelling mistakes and broken english, as well as links that are obviously fake, I wonder how anyone can fall for this. If someone gets their account hacked that way, they're stupid. Then there are the assholes who develop sneaky spyware like the one I'm linking intended to log your info as you login.



I found this on my system earlier, apparently it snuck in with a video converter I downloaded a few months ago. Symantec only just now picked it up. Thankfully I use an authenticator, so I hope some asshole in China who was looking to hack my account is now sitting in his chair cursing to himself in broken english. Fuck you, asshat. Better luck next time. Find a blonde who plays the game.
