There are dozens of ways to get your CC# compromised.... and the VAST MAJORITY of the time it is not through an internet breach....but through simple "social engineering."

If you are on any MudCatters mailing list...and you do not keep your virus check current...then the TrojanWorm with the attributes similar the dear old BackOrifice....has probably compromised your security....since it seems to have wound its way through the MUD this last month....and includes "key-stroke-capture" features. Hmmmmm...do clones keep MudCat "secrets" on their machines?

Vigilance is the Price of Freedom.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer catter.
