WoW hacked.
Later today I'll do a regular post but I figured I'd share this. When I tried logging into www.worldofwarcraft.com I got this nice, white page with black lettering:
Myndflame Brings Us An Illegal Danish III Prelude!
How can something so familiar feel so foreign? The machinima makers at Myndflame recently released their latest World of Warcraft-themed movie, Illegal Danish III Prelude: The Ballad of Dirti G. If you’re a World of Warcraft player who feels something is missing from the StarCraft universe, the creators of the Illegal Danish series have sensed your internal disturbance, bringing you a hilariously off-kilter redux of the StarCraft II cinematic trailer, now with 100% more gnome action.
It’s about time!
Watch the Illegal Danish III parody side-by-side with the official StarCraft II cinematic trailer here.
Now I get to go and have the fun of running scans for keyloggers and stuff. So much for daring to log into anything. Only LJ and Dreamwidth I have it set so it automatically logs me in. IJ I don't where it's so hard to log out (well, last time I had to switch between my Shimmerwing and Quill of Life it was hard) which is why I'm glad I linked my IJ account to Dreamwidth ^^ At least I can post it there until I feel safe logging into sites.
Ironically, every other page on WoW's site works, all you need to do is bypass their start page. I looked around the forums but no mention of it yet >sighs<
Oh well, here's to scanning for bugs.
Eddito: I looked up Myndflame and they're a big machinma addict and all over the place. All scans came up clear so I'm assuming they only hacked the homepage of WoW to boost their ego (because they could do it) as well as to promote their machinma . . . and quite possibly get banned from WoW as well as other legal actions for hacking and defacing a website, especially one as popular as WoW is.
