email scam

As for some reason I can't post a new thread...

I just received a scam mail to my wowinterface.com address. This address, of course, has been used only to create my account on this site.

The HTML mail contains numerous links to official Blizzard sites (blizzard.com and battle.net), but also two links to "supportbattle.net" which is owned by some chinese company. The mail was sent through TOR.

I hope the site admins didn't sell their users email addresses... And if they didn't, they should improve their security seriously.

Edit: I stopped playing WoW in 2008 so it's unlikely the leak is on my side. Also used to run virus/spyware scans quite frequently and don't remember finding anything serious that way for a long time.
Edit2: Hmm... Unless I was hit by some security vulnerability in Firefox enabling sites to grab stored login information, that is.
