Hey Pews,
I know thing have been changing like crazy lately. With Cataclysm coming out everyone wants to down the Lich King. Lazerpewpewpew has changed a lot, not necessarily for the better. I have been a Pew for about three years now and I do not want to let Lazerpewpew slip away. I will do everything in my power to keep the Pews going. I know I have been gone for a couple of months, but I am kinda back now. I am unable to raid at the moment, but I will help out however I can.

The guild website has not been used as much as I would have like too. I want this to be a website for all Pews past, present and future. Just because someone left the guild doesn't mean that they are no longer Pews. I hope that all the Pews use this website as a way to communicate between each other.

If any Pews has a suggestion on how to better anything on the website, there is going to be an open forum, just write anything you would like. The forum will be under Guild events. I also want to hear any suggestion on how we can improve Lazerpewpewpew. The people of Lazerpewpewpew is what makes the guild. For some of us we are more than just guild members, we are friends.

Thank you,

Trojan succesfully hacks Authenticator Protected Accounts
A new virus spawned on the internet a few days ago and seems to be the first trojan capable of hacking a WoW account protected by an Authenticator. It was confirmed by Blizzard a few hours ago.

After looking into this, it has been escalated, but it is a Man in the Middle attack.

This is still perpetrated by key loggers, and no method is always 100% secure.

Basically, what the virus does is fairly simple after you're infected :
The next time you log in World of Warcraft, the game asks for your Authenticator code.
The virus intercepts it, send it to another server, and sends a wrong one to Blizzard = You get an error.
The people behind the virus now have a few seconds/minutes to use the "real" code while it's valid to change your password / empty your account / guild bank.

How to check if you're infected
Just search for a file named "emcor.dll" on your computer, it is most likely located in "C:\Users\(Your user name)\AppData\Temp" but I suggest that you check everything just to be sure. If you do find the file, delete it and make sure you update your anti-virus to prevent any further problem.

To be honest, if you found this file your account is probably already compromised.

What does it mean exactly?
Yes, you can get hacked even if you have an authenticator, the chances are MUCH lower but you're not invulnerable.
It definitely isn't an excuse to not have an authenticator. We're talking about a single virus here and the authenticator will save your ass 99% of the time.
Get a decent anti-virus, buy an authenticator, you'll be safe.

Due to the lack of interest for the upcoming guild event to raise money to keep Ventrillo going, I have cancelled the fundraiser. Luckily there are a few pews that donated and between them, they came up with the money required to keep Ventrillo running.

Thanks,

Congratulations on completing the first wing of ICC! It is well deserved. Special props to the ranged and healers on Deathbringer Saurfang though everyone did a terrific job.

Good luck on Rotface, Festergut, and Professor Putricide!
