Got hacked

Author: Jon aka Poor Guy / Labels:

My computer got hacked last nite. I was playing wow since I got home. After a boring BRD run for brewmaster achievement, I went to take my shower. When I came back, I noticed one of my wow addon interface change. I tried to find one of the item in my inventory but it kept going to the map and zoom out. I thought my keyboard screw up so I reboot my machine. Same thing happen again.

Then I saw my msn messenger had my toon's name on the search box but spell it wrong. Apparently someone tried to mess with me. It was a scary thing. The "hacker" kept me from checking my in game mail by hitting the map (M) and right clicking on the map.

When I closed down my wow and opened a notepad on the side, he acutally typed something related to a conversation with my friend earlier that night. I unplug my network cable immediately. :O

I changed my pwd to my wow and email account immediately with another source of connection and different computer. I am going to format my computer today when I get home from work. It may take awhile to get everything going again.

GEEEZ, the only thing that came across my mind was few days ago I accidently click on some ad on a website and a window pop up. Is it so easy to get hacked?
