Still suffering account thefts, China's WoW players say new PIN encryption 'a fraud'

Chinese players of World of Warcraft (WoW), the popular online game, reported they are continuing to have their accounts hacked, though the company says it has no evidence of this. Although China's WoW operator, the9, has offered dynamic PIN code protection since mid July for WoW players, some players expressed surprise their accounts are being hacked as before, according to a leading IT portal. A report on eNet.com.cn claimed that the PIN code software was useless and could be amended at will even without a correct ID card number.
