A couple of days ago my account was hacked by a keylogger. Normally I'm a very secure person but I found out the issue and where it occurred. I have a few computer systems and one of my systems was using Trend Micro and it failed to notice the keylogger trojan injection. Here is the following information folks should be concerned about regarding this:

Trojan Type:

Agent.GDA type

Files:

C:\Windows\System32\rsbo.exe
C:\Windows\System32\kb1ss1p.dll
C:\Windows\System32\kb1ss1p.sys

Registry Key:
{ED0ACB58-556F-21DA-DDFE-6D20F3F611BB}

The file rsbo.exe automatically creates the .sys and .dll files each time you login. They are stored in the windows\system32 directory. They inject themselves into the windows processes and remain hidden from "most" antivirus protection. Norton, McAfee, and Trend Micro did not find this trojan. The only software that found it was AVG Pro.

The method of injection occurred through Internet Explorer, even though I had all windows updates on that particular machine.

Again, this was not my main system but a secondary system that was affected. My main character Drabin (level 70 mage) was stripped of all gold, many items, and the incident reported. I'm waiting for (hopefully) reimbursement to come.

I am posting this as a helpful post so that others do not have this occur to them. Originally I had thought I retrieved the keylogger from WAU (Wow Ace Updater) but was sorely mistaken. Even though it is a third party software, the method of injection was not from this app.

Recommendations for other players so they don't get a keylogger:

# Don't use Internet Explorer (use Mozilla Firefox as it is a much safer and secure browser)
Use a solid Anti-virus package (do not use multiple)
Implement a Firewall
Use Hijackthis to check issues on your system
Use Spywareblaster to block and protect your browsers from known spyware/malware
Use Rootkit Unhooker (to find rootkit injections in your processes)
Use RegistryBooster or similar (to clean your registry of unwanted or susceptible rootkit hacks)

When this first broke, I tried to keep up with it, but after a while it became to much. So excuse me if this has been pointed out before. I was reading the news on CNN.com, and came across this article. Here's a quote that really caught my eye:

:
In one case, digital frames sold at Sam's Club contained a previously unknown bug that not only steals online gaming passwords but disables antivirus software, according to security researchers at CA Inc.
If this is true, how many of those hacked around Christmas bought and setup one of these digital picture frames?

I usually close my eyes and just beg, out loud added with a lot of squealing.

I swear it helps.

Globally the business is huge. Edward Castronova, an academic studying the economics of online gaming at the University of Indiana, estimates that the real money trade - people paying real cash for virtual items - is worth around $300-$400m.
