+-   World of Warcraft uses a new Rootkit on Thursday November 15 2007, @11:05AM Captain Kirk

Captain Kirk writes "We all know that World of Warcraft has checked for hacks to ensure a safe game environment for all players.

The latest version of these checks goes beyond anything seen so far in that what is being checked is now completely encrypted. Obviously this hits bot writers as can be seen from these complaints: http://onwarden.blogspot.com/2007/11/storm-is-brewing.html

But it also strikes at the privacy of all users. Now Blizzard has a tool that is encrypted and can run any type of scan, transfer any file or edit any document on your computer. That can't be right."
