Do you use the STEAM network? Do you play WOW? If so, you better be sure to read up on this news and make sure you aren't being scammed. News just came out that spammers are phishing those two in particular trying to get your most valued information. Read the news to be sure you aren't taken advantage of by one of these scams.

From the article:

The first e-mail arrived Sunday night, claiming to be from Steam makers Valve Corporation. It read, "Dear Steam User, This is the official notification from STEAM, that your account will be deactivated and deleted if not email us immediately." To avoid the threatened deletion, the e-mail recipient was told to send an e-mail to steam.admins@gmail.com "with you [sic] login details," specifically a user name, a password, and a real name.

The scammer apparently used an e-mail from a previous phishing attempt as a template. A copyright line at the bottom of the message indicated not only that the contents of the e-mail were copyright Valve Corporation, but also a logo implying that Valve is an Equal Housing Lender in accordance with Federal Fair Lending Laws (a logo that when clicked on linked to Bank of America's page about its Equal Housing Lender status).

A second draft of the Valve phishing scam was received early Monday morning, this one linking to an external site that mimics the appearance of the official Valve site and requests that enter their account information to log in. While the grammar was improved, the Equal Housing Lender logo remained.

Monday night, a handful of nearly identical e-mails arrived, these ones seeking World of Warcraft account log-in information. The e-mails appeared to come from account@worldofwarcraft.com, and featured the same formatting and phising tactics of the second Valve e-mail. Again, the spam carried the Equal Housing Lender logo.
