I haven't played WoW in about 8 months, but I thought somebody here should know about this issue.
I created a custom E-Mail address specifically for this website when I signed up. In the last month or so, I've received approximately ten phishing E-Mails by somebody who has been trying to get WoW account info. I deleted my E-Mail account, but here's the info on the last phishing E-Mail I received.
