haha if only that was the case with me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. Apparently the guy went on and hit and ran sbrugby on my account for an almost 80K pot. Would have been interesting if I had logged on right after he did that.

Timing is everything. /= At least we know that person probably wasn't losing intentionally...

What makes you think the source of the security breach was your computer?

I don't know, full tilt says it wasn't them and told me it must be my computer(the generic default keylogger excuse). I can't think of anywhere else unless it was intercepted in transmission between servers.

Well, that would kind of be a 40k admission. Big surprise they say it wasn't them, I bet they stick to that story.

Get Keepass and you won't have to worry about anyone being able to hack your password.

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.

I watched "you" hit and run against sbrugby and thought you were just some low-stakes player taking a shot.

The thing that gets me is that yes, you may have lost some funds to legitimate players, but surely some of the funds went into a fund that the hacker had access to in some way. What would be the point of this whole endeavor otherwise? Surely there has to be some way to figure out who the accomplice was that had the chips dumped to them.

shahmat,

Where were you when this was happening? Would someone have access to your PC? It seems odd that this could happen over several days without you knowing. I would guess the person who did this knew you. Though he would probably have to know something about poker, too.

What stakes do you normally play? Because it seems like they knew how much was in your account.

I hate reading stuff like this. This stinks, sorry dude.

If money wasn't dumped somewhere and they were doing it for kicks, it must have been easy.

Thanks, ya it's brutal. I think I may have been home when this happened, I'm not 100% sure, I'm still waiting to get the hand history details from full tilt so I can find out exactly when everything happened. They have been very slow on giving this to me. I did go out Friday and Saturday night for the majority of the night so I may have been gone at those times. But Full Tilt has told me that they logins didn't come from my IP Address but rather from quite a few different ones, in different parts of the country(Canada). I usually play 25/50NL, but had played very little this month on Full Tilt.
