Account Security Warning

Posted on Sunday, January 1, 2006, 4:06 AM EST by Caelan (GeneralNews)

Posted to FYI:

We have received reports of players having their account security breached due to an as yet unfixed Windows Metafile vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000, XP and 2003. As there is no fix from Microsoft as of the early morning hours of January 1st, 2006, we recommend that you do not click on links from sources you do not absolutely trust. Most of these reports indicate that the victim received an instant message from another player to a website that exploited this vulnerability, though any link from a non-trusted source, whether from an IM, email or other source, could potentially put your account at risk.

Please visit Microsoft and CERT for more information.
