Re: Full Tilt Account hacked for $40,000
Someobody on the list made money off you that was not legitimate. I would goto the police, i would think if FT cooperated with all the info someone could put this together. Especially for 40k i think this is worth investigating.

Many are blackhats that will spend hours hacking into a website just to toss up some brag posts or pics about it. They'd happily hack into an account to burn your $40k for the thrill of it. Ever play an MMO? There are grief players that will log 40 hours a week to do nothing but try to ruin other people's day.

No no no. You don't target a random individual to get respect. You target the poker site. Working for hours prying open a single account is either personal or financial. Or, they didn't work for hours. Or it was a demonstration that they own ftp.

Re: Full Tilt Account hacked for $40,000
OP, sorry about your bad luck. Good luck trying to get it back.
How's this for a counter-hacking idea: If you choose to do so, you can contact the site and tell them not to allow your account to sit at tables above certain stakes. Certainly not foolproof, but it would take a lot more time/be a lot less fun for a hacker to blow $40k at $1000NL as opposed to $40,000NL or whatever. Just a thought.

Re: Full Tilt Account hacked for $40,000
I don't think they target particular individuals. More like they toss out a net of trojans and haul it in every once in awhile to see what they've caught.
I've never been a hacker, but I've known plenty. Don't underestimate their desire to bring grief to random people just for the fun of it.

Re: Full Tilt Account hacked for $40,000
how do you access the poker sites from your PC?
If the passwords are pre-completed on your PC (so you never actually type them in) then a trojan or hardware that logs keys pressed wouldn't record them. And does anyone other than you have access to the actual PC? If I had $40k online I would be using a fingerprint access system for sure... I would have kept the hard-drives and had an expert give them the once over. In the absence of issues there or a key-logger on the PC or anyone else having possible access then it looks like a breach at the site's end (assuming your passwrod is relatively secure).

Re: Full Tilt Account hacked for $40,000
Am I missing something here or does it really seem like FTP accounts are always the ones that get hacked.
I have seen only one UB account hack post. I have not seen any PS account hack post. Always a FTP account thats been hacked.

[ QUOTE ] Get Keepass and you won't have to worry about anyone being able to hack your password. [/ QUOTE ] I have keepass, but I don't understand how it will prevent a hacker from keylogging you. For me, keepass is just a program that keeps all my passwords. Barrin6 [/ QUOTE ] Keepass and similiar software provides zero protection against keylogging. From their own site: [ QUOTE ] Is the Auto-Type feature resistant to keyloggers? No. And it also cannot be made keylogger-resistant. The Auto-Type feature has been designed in a way that it's impossible for target applications to distinguish real keys from auto-typed ones. This on the one hand has the advantage that the feature is really compatible with all applications out there. On the other hand, the auto-typed keys can of course be logged by keyloggers. If you worry about keyloggers, you have to use one of the other methods (drag&drop, copying to clipboard, KeeForm, browser integration toolbar, ...). [/ QUOTE ] Incidentally they're also incorrect on the latter part. Drag&drop, cut n paste, clipboards, etc also provide zero protection against keylogging. It is entirely trivial for a program to access whatever is currently stored on the clipboard. The fact of the matter is: once someone has managed to install software on your machine - you are finished. Don't rely on your antivirus/spyware protection or whatever else you have running. They rely on signatures and some relatively primitive heuristics which definitely provides some protection but not even close to absolute protection. The only protection you can absolutely rely on is yourself: don't download any software from p2p, don't visit questionable websites, don't install activex controls from arbitrary websites, etc, etc..
