I use an e-mail forwarding service (www.sneakemail.com) to give every web forum I sign up for a unique e-mail address. I was cleaning out my spam folder, and I noticed a lot of phishing e-mails for Diablo 3 accounts (none specifically for GW2 yet) coming to e-mails I gave to

  • Curse
  • Turbine
  • Rappelz (yes, I try lots and lots of games)

I also deactivated my MMORPG.com e-mail address a while ago because the spammers got it – I don’t know if there are any phishing e-mails being sent to it, but I only deactivate them when it gets really bad. Usually I just grey list them.

This is a good indicator that their user lists have been compromised, so if you’re using the same e-mail address for those sites that you used for your GW2 account, I would strongly recommend that you make sure your password is something unique.

Don’t ever think you know what’s right for the other person.
He might start thinking he knows what’s right for you.
