I heard about this a while ago i think in December when the first attacks hit home, but now I hear that the "gang" behind this has targetted WOW players by putting up fake pages with the code injected in it,the user is unaware of whats being done to thier pc.Then the gang are logging into to a persons WOW acocunt and selling off all thier items to make cash!
MS have issued a patch for this and it can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/...n/MS07-017.mspx
I patched myself a couple of days ago and have seen side effects so hopefully it
