According to Information Week, a new trojan is on the loose that attempts to steal user credentials for online game World of Warcraft. Using a user's stolen identity details, criminals will be able to log in to a user's account, take control of their virtual possessions and sell them on for real cash. Paying real money for virtual goods in the game is officially banned by the game's maker Blizzard, but it still takes place on unofficial websites.
