Fraud, thievery and malware are running rampant in online games and virtual worlds. Between November 2008 and August 2009, the amount of threats in one family of malware aimed specifically at plundering passwords and harvesting log-in details from online gamers increased by over 600 percent, according to Lavasoft Malware Labs.

If you follow this blog and the Malware Labs at Lavasoft blog, you may already know that – in response to the booming online games industry – cyber thieves are cashing in, capitalizing on the transfer of cash and virtual goods that takes place regularly in online games by developing Trojans aimed specifically at plundering passwords and harvesting log-in details from users of MMORPG's.
