It is still potentially devastating, selling all your epics for fast wow gold.

WOW GOLD hackers, account thieves, and other miscreants have now embraced man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks to further their evil ways. WOW GOLD hackers are able to infect your Personal Computer. The purpose of these hackers is to intercept your wow gold login name, password, and authenticator number so that they can log into your account.These hackers can do whatever they would be able to do once online inside the wow gold game world: sell items, mail WoW gold to other players, etc. It is still potentially devastating, selling all your epics for fast wow gold, then turning around and selling that cheap wow gold for real money to someone else. In fact, there's plenty of programs out there can initiate MITM attack rather easily, letting people intercept passwords, instant messages, you name it.Blizzard says, "it's not a widespread issue, and it's rather difficult to pull off, but it's something all WoW gold players should be aware of."
If you are playing wow gold, instead of your username and password and authenticator number going directly to Blizzard's servers, they first go to the hacker's rogue server, which then passes the info onto your intended server, capturing the information in the process. However, it's essentially invisible to you, the end-user, which is why the attacks are so dangerous.As for me, I think the worst thing with this kind of attack would be for someone to sell off your character's items and wow gold, then, for good measure, delete your character. So the best way for wow gold players to keep off this MITM attack is to keep their anti-virus software up to date and stay away from the shady parts of the Internet.
