Never mind outside the game - beware of ingame messages too! Apparently, it's possible with some addons which let people share custom settings with others (via whispering a link or code), to inject code which doesn't so what you might be expecting... things like, mail all your gold to someone else, or trade it all to someone. Seems to be mainly WeakAuras and maybe TellMeWhen affected at present, but by the sounds of things, pretty much any similar addon which lets you share codes/settings with other users is a risk. Seems it's only a problem if you click the link to run it, so lesson of the day: don't accept things like that from untrusted sources, just in case! http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/10780477954?page=1
