Blizzard says beware of dangerous Trojan

If you play World of Warcraft, you might want to check for a dangerous new Trojan that is leading to compromised accounts. Blizzard warned customers that this Trojan, apparently brought on by a fake Curse client, can steal both the account information and the authenticator password, making even players who use the authenticator vulnerable. Customer service gave instructions on what to look for so players can see whether or not their machine has been infected.

Although no current virus scanners can detect and remove the Trojan, Technical Support posted that a sample of the malware has been sent to anti-malware scanners and offered instructions for removing the malware by hand.
