Let me start by saying I am very careful protecting my real email address. Every website I visit that wants my email address gets a randomly generated address at a different domain that gets forwarded to my real address until I choose to delete it. WowInterface.com is no exception. I just received a WoW phishing email to the address registered with this site. So it's safe to say this is the only place they could have gotten the address.
The phishing email wasn't terribly clever. Here's the contents:
From: "World of Warcraft - Account Action Notification" <
[email protected]>
Subject: World of Warcraft Billing Account Services
To:
