The Warcraft players seem to be targets of the cursor hackers who are exploiting flaws in how Windows handles animated cursors. Because WOW Accounts for the game are potentially worth significant sums of money. The flaw came to light in late March and lets attackers take over vulnerable PCs via booby-trapped websites. Microsoft has issued a patch for the flaw early to combat the rising number of attacks.

Research by security firm Symantec suggests that the raw value of a WOW Account is now higher than a credit card and its associated verification data.

One card can be sold for up to $6 suggests Symantec, but account will be worth at least $10. An account that has several high level characters associated with it could be worth far more as the WOW Gold and rare items can be sold for real cash.

In a bid to head off the growing threat from the animated cursor flaw, Microsoft took the unusual step of releasing a patch for the bug on 3 April.

Usually Microsoft issues security patches on the second Tuesday of every month. The patch for the cursor flaw arrived a week early and Microsoft has been preparing it since December when the bug was first reported.

Windows users can get the patch via automatic updates or visit Microsoft to download it manually.
