All,
Just a reminder that we are not immune. On the 8th my Neteller account was hacked, and 805 was taken from my bank acocunt and deposited into Pacific Poker, not through my account. This happened despite my NT already being linked to MY Pacific Poker account. I don't care about the money as much as I care about the fact that I didn't have 805 in that bank account and had an overdraft occur. This will do wonders for my credit at age 19.
I am closing every poker site (from my bonus whoring days) that I do not actively play on now. I have closed my neteller. Just a warning to all that this does happen.
Greg

All you need to do to prevent this is remove the Insta Cash option from your Neteller account, and be sure your email on the account is active.
Then if someone trys to remove $$ from your bank account, you get a notification days in advance.

yes I disabled the instacash option. Also change your secure id and password often.
It also cant hurt to use password protection software either-I use Roboform and love it.
