Cursor hackers target WoW players (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6526851.stm)
One Chinese group known to be using the animated cursor flaw scored some success in February when it managed to hack a Superbowl website and use it to host code for spyware.
Analysis of that malicious software showed that it lay dormant on a victims machine until they ran World of Warcraft (WoW) at which point it captured login data and sent it to the hacking group.

Heads up!
