 An MMORPG as big as World of Warcraft is highly susceptible to attacks such as keyloggers. Blizzard, on the other hand, is very aware of these things and have reminded players time and again to protect themselves from such.
Blizzard forum moderator Slouken posted an article over at the official World of Warcraft Forums informing everyone to beware AddOn packages in the mean while because some have been maliciously modified. The blue posted explained:
Please be aware that key loggers have been added to AddOn packages on several different AddOn sites.
In general we recommend not downloading any AddOn packages that have executables or batch files that run installers or data collectors, as they may have been tampered with.
Slouken added as well that famous AddOn hosting website WoWInterface of WOWI will be quarantining any package that has an executable installer. "This was a bold move to ensure the safety of the community and is greatly appreciated", said Slouken.
