Seagate has announced that their Maxtor Basics Personal Storage 3200 external hard drives are infected with a virus that steals passwords for online games and sends the info to some evil Chinese servers. Most of the games are Chinese BUT! (there is always a but) the one infected game that isn't Chinese just happens to be one of the most popular MMOs out there. That MMO is World of Warcraft of course.

So if you have one of these drives from about August of 07 you might have an infected drive.

*So if you have one of this suckers i suggest you grab it right now and throw it out the window.


Seagate Press Release.
