The first couple of years I played WoW were without incident. Then a few months ago, my account got hacked and all my gold and items stolen. Blizzard was able to restore most of it, but I'm wondering how I could have been so specifically targeted. I used Thottbot a ton for like a year and a half before the hacking, so I doubt it was them. I started using Guildportal and Wowhead some a few months before the hacking, so I'm more suspicious of them. I'm pretty confident it was a keylogger that stole my account info and then sold the gold to someone else during the great wowgold whisper spamming of earlier this year. Anyone have thoughts on this?
Answer
No, chances are you have a week password, the same password for multiple things (sites) or you (or some one else who uses your computer) was going to the seedier side of the internet.
If you are worried about bad sites I recommend getting an addon for Firefox (also available for IE) called "McAfee SiteAdvisor" they check every site on the internet (if a site hasn't been checked than going to that site and selecting to view site details will queue it to be tested) the sites are randed as Grey (not tested), Green (Safe), Yellow (Usually given to sites that have a spammy email once in a while), and than theres Red (These sites can be browser hijackers, virus/spyware downloads, the site is a phishing, or the site links directly to a red site).

I am a board certified clinical psychiatrist and have been a contractor for an intelligence agency. There is no software on the market, (no matter what they claim), that will clean your HDD.
A professional forensic computer expert can strip the data off the HDD, no matter if bleach or the Gutman technique is used with wiping over and over the HDD.
There are only two ways to make sure no data is ever recovered from your HDD.
1). Take the disk out and beat it to death with a hammer. No forensic computer expert in the world can strip any data from a HDD, that has been beat to death with a hammer.
2). Remove the HDD, and keep it in your home or safe.
Leave the computer behind, without the HDD.
