Checking mail today I see an interesting piece of junk found its way into my inbox.
This is my professional email account. I never use it for personal accounts or for games, only for job related contacts. So, aside from not knowing how someone found this email, it's interesting that this would be the first piece of actual junk to land in my inbox.
The email claims to be from Blizzard entertainment, and looks fairly legit. The subject of the email was "Diablo III - Account validation" and the content of the email used legit links to blizzard's TOS, battlenet, as well as a legit phone number to support. The email doesn't request information FROM you, but you are provided a link to "us.battle.net" for "validation" purposes. Naturally, me being curious, I put up as many safeguards as I had available and followed the link. The "validation page" looks exactly like the real deal, but scripts are being used to capture keystrokes when information is put in.
I also find this interesting because I don't
have Diablo3, nor have I ever played it.
Anyone else seen something like this? It seems a little too detailed for an account jacker.
