New Key Logger Hacks Authenticator Protected Accounts

I'm going to start out by saying that everyone who plays wow should have an authenticator. An authenticator is a little device that will generate a random number every time you log into WoW that you have to punch in (in addition to your password) to log into your account. This will prevent you from getting hacked 99.99% of the time.

A new virus spawned on the internet a few days ago and seems to be the first trojan capable of hacking a WoW account protected by an Authenticator. It was confirmed by Blizzard a few hours ago.

How it works
  • The next time you log in World of Warcraft, the game asks for your Authenticator code.
  • The virus intercepts it, send it to another server, and sends a wrong one to Blizzard = You get an error.
  • The people behind the virus now have a few seconds/minutes to use the "real" code while it's valid to change your password / empty your account / guild bank.

This is bad news for all of us who started feeling safe and secure behind our authenticators. Now don't get me wrong having one will still protect you from 99% of key loggers out there but its not fool proof any more.

How to know if you have it

If for some reason you try and log onto your account and it comes back with an error and you are pretty damn certain that you typed it in perfect, search for the file name "emcor.dll" which could be anywhere on your computer but will most likely be in "C:\Users\(Your user name)\AppData\Temp". If you find it, delete it immediately! Then log back into your account to kick whoever was on it back out, after that I suggest you go and update your anti-virus program.

The fact that there is now a virus out there that will get through an authenticator is not an excuse to not have one, they still protect you from the majority of key loggers.
