Default I got one of those NCsoft Security Notice emails...

It's sitting in my Spam folder right now. I didn't click on it or anything stupid. Should I just delete it, or should I forward it to someone like Regina? Or the Support people?

Always delete them. Do not open anything that you are not 100% sure of. There could be a key logger that opens and then you do...your account is as good as gone the next time you enter your info.

They are most likely fishing for your "toon's" name cause they have your e-mail address and your password with the key logger.. they just need the name of a character off of the account since that does not reset when you log in and out of GW.

So in review... NEVER open an email from someone when you do not know what's in it or why you got it
