More Malware Website Warnings...
By MooGooGaiPan


Arena Junkies is one of the most reputable online sources for. . .arena junkies. Its posters are numbered predominately among the 2000+ Arena Rated teams, and thus the site serves as a key resource for arena veterans and up-and-comers alike. Arena Junkies hosts dozens of forums, macros, strategies, and example Arena-centric Talent builds. Arena Junkies is also an official part of the Blizzard Fan Site Program. Oh, and they've got their own T-Shirts.

[From Wow Insider]

Which is why it can be so troubling to see they've been attacked by one of Vaneras's malicious "eVillains." The eVillain posted a "malicious applet" in their Interface forums, planting a virus which apparently spread to the hosting server itself. Naxos warns forum-goers that if any Junkie clicked on the link responsible for the attack, he or she should be careful that their system isn't under any danger. With the rising number of keyloggers and account theft, that kind of precaution is starting to get common for even the most casual WoW player.

Naxos definitely seems to have a handle on the problem, though. Arena Junkies reverted to its last-saved backup, from very early that morning, and now Arena Junkies is back to running smoothly. According to Naxos, the virus itself was a variation of the i-worm/stration virus. Links to the virus have, understandably, been removed.

It's unclear whether this attack was an attack of opportunity, or if someone has it out for the Arena Junkies. As Bio puts it: "He prob sucks at the arena."

Thank goodness it wasn't good beer, it was just a 6 pack of Stone that attacked me at the grocery store:

Zash waiting for her stitches
Zash waiting for her stitches

Zash's Bloody Foot
Zash's Bloody Foot


The Gash
The Gash

The Gash Bath
The Gash Bath

Zash getting her stitches...
Zash getting her stitches..

15 Stitches
15 Stitches

The awesome thing is that when the 3 hot firemen arrived at the grocery store to re-wrap my leg and take me to the hospital, they saw the 6 pack of Stella I was actually trying to pick up and said "Oh, you actually were getting the good beer, thank god that isn't what broke. Do you want one for the road?"

That and my other favorite quote:

HOT FIREMEN #1: "What should we do with all the blood in her other shoe?

HOT FIREMEN #2: "Eh, poor it on the floor."

Well, Aven said he always finds chicks with scars hot, so I decided it was time to get one...
