It's not uncommon for Gold Farmers to buy accounts either with the intention of a) Stripping them of their Gold, b) "Sharding their gear," in hopes to selling the shards for Gold on the World of WarCraft market, c) Turning around and re-selling the account for a bigger profit (and obviously not having to worry about paying for them with their own money.)

Unfortunately, Gold Farming is big business in places like China and Korea, where kids will literally kill themselves to keep playing. Selling virtual gold for real money has turned in to quite the industry, even for some North Americans and Europeans.

It's a mighty big, nasty, corrupt world, that World of WarCraft.

Anyway, you might have yourself a keylogger or something, Kryzsky. In which case, that might not be the only password they have their hands on.

I highly suggest running Ad-Aware/Spyboy S&D in Safemode, and then maybe changing your passwords.
