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.

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.

Well, that was ridiculously stupid of her.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I should've said hi to her in the PCA lobby so she would know me/the following message would sound less harsh, but:
