AIM hacked.

Then the security questions need to be changed. Most of those answers are readily available in the public, published profiles of the major players.

Yes which means if they can get a password emailed to them like this and the person being [censored] over uses the same password to everything, then life sucks for them.

Its called reverse engineering.

[Hoss_TBF]

The person doesn't need to use the same password. The problem is when they sign up for everything with the same email account. If the hacker gets access to the email account, he can request password assistance and the new passwords are emailed to the address which he controls.

i doubt that FTP pro signed up for a FTP account through an AOL e-mail account.

[Hoss_TBF]

He did--it's confirmed.

the only way to get back is to rescam. it feels so good, i would assume

[NNNNOOOOONAN]

again, why hasn't anyone tried to get ahold of AIM about this? this isn't a pokersites fault, granted, they are the ones who can get you the money back, not AOL but it wasn't the pokersites fault. the people who got scammed got taken advantage of and that sucks a lot, but FTP and Stars and UB don't have anything to do with that. anything that is recovered by them deserves the biggest thank you ever.
whoever got scammed should be going after AOL's heart and trying to tear it out because it's their fault any of this happened by letting someone have access to the passwords (assuming Dan Druff is correct) and they are the ones that should pay everyone back.


p.s. hoss, i love you

Okay guys, I know I'm not a high stakes player, but here goes.

Did you ever notice that AIM has security questions. I'm willing to bet everyone that has gotten hacked gave theirs up somehow.

Date of Birth? Birthplace? Do these sound familiar. Stop being so stupid and talking about [censored] that a random ass mother [censored] has no need of knowing. Jeez.

I tried to call AOL's support line to get my old account closed, and everything was automated and a huge [censored] joke, so I gave up

[NNNNOOOOONAN]

how far are you from dulles, virginia?

if this happened to me i would exhaust all means to go to the AOL headquarters and present all the evidence i had to the highest up person i could get to. this is 100% their fault, and no one else's. (obv. besides SDP's)

this is a pretty big time scandal and AOL's name could get pretty [censored] trashed if you guys threw a big enough stink about it. i would bet that if you worked hard enough to drag them through the mud you would get some kind of compensation back. it wouldn't be hard at all to prove how much money you guys lost because of their incompetence.

if I actually lost money maybe I would've
