Web Surfing in Public Places Is A Way to Court Trouble

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-a-gentle-reminder dept.

    Ok, I don't play WoW, but what kind of idiot would install a keylogger to get access to some other guy's game account? I can understand the motivation to steal someone's bank info - it's immoral, but there is the recognizable purpose of obtaining the money. However if you aren't playing according to the rules, what's be the point in playing a game? You could just as well print yourself a nice certifcate "You have won" and save your time. So maybe people don't pay much attention to these things because they overestimate the intelligence of their fellow citizens...
