I smell a... wumpus!?
I just got an email inviting me to the WoW Mists of Pandaria beta. Rather strange, given that I have never played World of Warcraft in my life. Furthermore, it was sent to the email address I used to subscribe to MMORPG.com, not the one I used with Blizzard.
I saved the email and checked the HTML. It looks like it's going to some place called change-dragon.tk which will then likely redirect to Blizzard's account page inside a frame. In other words, you'll go to Blizzard's account login but you will likely be watched while you log in so somebody can steal your account/password.
The only other real tip-off I can see in this email is that the trademark symbols got replaced by question marks. That's one NASTY attack!
Anyway, I figured I would send out a heads-up. Most people likely didn't use different email addresses for Blizzard and MMORPG so this wouldn't be so obvious.
