Apparently theres a security flaw, I got this from DKPSYSTEM mail.

Security Flaw in Internet Explorer Targeting Gamers

(Note: normally we wouldn't put out a newsletter about this kind of security flaw, but because this particular flaw is being actively used to harvest passwords for gamers' accounts, we feel this is worth broadcasting to our users).

There is currently an exploit in the wild affecting all users of all versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer (the default web browser that comes with Microsoft Windows), including the latest beta 8.0. While we don't know the details of this exploit, it reportedly can and has been used to compromise passwords for gamers (likely by installing a keylogger).

Internet Security Experts are recommending switching to another browser, at least temporarily, to alleviate the threat

Because this particular flaw has been targeting gamers in particular, this makes it a pointed threat for our customers and we want you to be aware of the dangers here of having your passwords harvested by malicious users. It's important to us that you're aware of this issue to prevent you from dealing with the hassle of a hacked account.

This story is currently being reported by the BBC.

We strongly recommend switching to any of the alternative browsers that aren't based on Internet Explorer (at least until this bug is fixed by Microsoft).

Recommended browsers to use:


Mozilla Firefox
Opera
Apple Safari
Google Chrome
