This is a community-wide alert. Ancilorn from the WoW-Europe Community Team responded to a scam brought up by a player. The player reported his launcher.exe notified him the account had been compromised and required him to type his account login info and other personal details into the Launcher itself.

A clever ruse indeed, and certainly not authentic (as you rightly spotted). Be sure to take the necessary steps to secure your PC and Battle.net account:

As we say very frequently - we will never ask you for your password!

Thank you for this info...I would add that if you get in your junk mail a mail like:
Active your Blizzard account
Battlnet account
Aion account
Wow account

Then just delete it its a virus+scam.
Yeah right
