Beat: Annette_15 has UB account hacked...
 

Not sure if this is the right place but the news came from p5's - looks like someone emptied 20k++ from her account and was offering $1.2k on UB for $1k via western union.

Summary in blog - link in profile.

Cheers, Mark

Re: Beat: Annette_15 has UB account hacked...
 

and the dude who hacked it apparently won 12k on her account, then they found out and locked it, so when its safe, and its reopened, she gets the 12k.

Re: Beat: Annette_15 has UB account hacked...
 

Seriously, how does someone get his/hers account hacked into?
For instance, how did this happen?

Re: Beat: Annette_15 has UB account hacked...
 

There are any numbers of ways it could have happened. I think the point is that the simple login/password method is not exactly safe. Some new security features need to be introduced.

Re: Beat: Annette_15 has UB account hacked...
 

I often think this happens because people are sloppy and choose simple passwords.
But maybe that's not the case?
Is it possible for someone to hijack your Pc and get access to your poker software from another computer?

Did you miss the part where her account finished +12k for of the incident? GambleAB raised an interesting question on P5's about whether she intended to give the money back that was won by the scammer.

Brag : annette had her account hacked and somehow ends UP 12 k - I wish this guy hacks into mine

That just seems so fishy. If you hacked someone's account, wouldn't you want to spend as little time logged in as that user as possible? You're really going to sit there for X number of hours and do a MTT??

This is some sick [censored]. Ok so its like 7am in the morning for me and I'm playing the 11pms (5ams for me). I'm chatting on msn as usual, and bigegypt/pokerjoe9 logs on (All of u know that his account was also hacked earlier) So he asked me to look through some sick hh's from a tourney he played. He sent me a mail to my HOTMAIL account, and it was one of those zip files. I tried to open it but my virusprogram wouldn't let me, I'm stupid enough to ask for help and he tells me exactly how to do it, I start messing with my firewall system and he tells me to recheck if I did everything he said and I'm like...uh yea I think so. I know I should have never done this in the first place, but I want u guys to know what happen so u can be aware of this. He eventually 'gives up' after I've tried for about 30 minutes and then logs off.

I dont think much about it, but 30 minutes later I get a mail from fulltilt support where it has a 'requested new password inside.... so I'm starting to get suspcious and dont really know what to do, so I emmidiately log on to my fulltilt account and change my password before going to bed.

Two hours later I get a phonecall from a friend saying that someone is playing my account on UB so I run over and hes sitting there like I said in the previous post.

I found out about this because I had a friend over who was gonna reformat my computer and he dicided to run the virus progran one last time just to make sure and true enough, he found some key logger thing that I know nothing about that was discovered at about 8am.

Man, the scammer must have logged onto pokerjoe's account again and done all this to me just so he could take my money after I went to bed....again a reason why he 'watched' me play my last sng before I went to bed

ughhh

Thx for that post November.

Husmail+firewall+good virus app+common sense and all of us should be pretty safe.

How are people still stupid enough to go out of their way to open files that a simple email virus scanner won't allow?

i'm guessing it has to do with her thinking she was talking to someone she knew and trusted and didn't really think about the whole situation... but i mean when your virus protection won't allow you to open an email and when someone is asking you to open your firewall.....

you can search the forums for a thread from me a little more than a month ago. my computer was hacked into and from there they remotely controlled my PC and logged onto all of my accounts and dumped chips to and from it - eventually losing me > 3k total.

Re: Beat: Annette_15 has UB account hacked...
 

here's how to prevent your accounts from getting hacked:

step one: when your virus protection tells you not to open a file... DO NOT OPEN THE [censored] FILE.
step two: repeat step one.

Re: Beat: Annette_15 has UB account hacked...
 

Well, that was ridiculously stupid of her.

I wish all my lessons learned would've come with a +12k prize...

Re: Beat: Annette_15 has UB account hacked...
 

Is this prrof that some accounts are destined to win? Even a hacker can win 12k on Annette's account. I wish my account ran that good.

I agree with this...I think if you WANT TO sites should add extra things...like ingdirect has, like picture AND pin, and maybe you could set it so ONLY 1 IP address can access it...anyways, just ideas...

They wouldn't have to make all the extras standard...but merely options if you wish to use them..I know I would for my accounts with 5 digits in them.

Uhm, I'm not so sure you get it yet. It was either one of 2 things. It was either:
1- you supposed "friend" that committed the caper. -or-
2- You weren't actually IMing your friend, but actually some villain that made his ID look very similar to his ie instead of bigegypt you were talking to bigeygpt.

Whatever the case, you were conversing with the con, and opened the door to let him in.

Computer Security Crash Course

1) Disconnect from Internet

Re: Beat: Annette_15 has UB account hacked...
 

The most difficult part of this operation would be to find a slot long enough where she wasnt logged on to the account, I heard that she played 645 hours straight to get her TLB leaderboard thingy

Re: Beat: Annette_15 has UB account hacked...
 

I think the +12k was because this scammer uses famous people's accounts in order to "trade" and therefore recieve even more money. Since there was +12k on this account, combined with some MSN stories I have heard, suggests to me that "she" has 12k sent to her account in exchange for money elsewhere (that was probably never honored.) Thus, that 12k is probably not poker winnings, but rather plainly other people's money.
