My WoW Account was recently hacked. I believe it was this phishing site worldofwarcraft-awards.com that I put my account info and tried to log into. I ran a full AVG scan and it didn't find anything but cookies. I changed my WoW password and my e-mail password. After I finally received all my items from a restoration, I found out someone logged on again so i ran AVG virus scan, malware scan, and spybot scan. Any other tips to prevent this from happening would be awesome!!!

Well next time don't login in sites where they are not the official ones. You only got phished, so next time don't just put information in whatever site. Also check some of the threads that are in here that will help you from getting phish again.

Well no crap. He said he changed his passwords and they still were able to log onto his account. What makes you think he'd get phished twice after learning that lesson? So what else could it be?

Yah, I know I was phished. After being phised, I ran virus scan and changed game password and e-mail password, as ProspectDotNet noticed in my original post. My account was still hacked after that.

Maybe the got a hold of your recovery details? I'm not sure how WoW works with that but try changing some of the details or security questions up and see if it's still possible.

One thing I would suggest, is set up an e-mal address, just for that type of thing, which you use for little else and which contains, no personal info,
so if it does get hacked, then it will be useless, as there won't be anything there worth knowing and also
nothing for you to worry about if it does get hacked for the same reason.

After the second time, I created a new e-mail address just for my WoW account. My WoW accoung now has new security questions and passwords. The first time i just changed e-mail password and WoW password but they were still able to hack my account. I did not notice if they hacked e-mail account, there was nothing to make me think that.
