Hacker - Image 1The good folks over at Blizzard's official World of Warcraft forums have provided a very useful checklist of how to avoid keyloggers who are even sneaky enough to hack Blizzard posters. Check out the tips enumerated by WoW forum poster Lythria, and you better take heed - WoW player or no - since the following preventive measures can be used for securing your most personal information online.

Being careful with the links before you click on them is very important, as many people fall prey into clicking links that activate keylogging scripts. One of the things you can do is to make sure the link will lead to a well-known site (such as Photobucket) by hovering on the link and checking out the status bar at the bottom of your browser.

Another thing to do is installing some browser add-ons that help prevent the running of scripts, such as Mozilla Firefox's "NoScript".

Lythria will update her post from time to time as more ways of detecting/avoiding keyloggers are found, so its better to check the Via link to catch the updates yourself.
