ACCOUNT HACKED!!!! FTP quick action saves my BR
 

Phew, that was a close one...

This morning, I was in class from 8am to 11am. I played a short session during the diner break, ended it at noon. After that I had class up to 3pm, worked on some things until 4pm and then decided to take a break and play two turbo SnG.

I open FTP and click login... (I have "save my password" on)

I get an "invalid password" prompt...

I try typing it a couple time and realise what is going on. I immediatly e-mail FTPsecurity to let them know my password has been remotly changed and ask them to lock my account.

2min later : I get this e-mail :

Actually no...

I have an up-to-date version of windowsXP, an up-to-date anti-virus, I run on a regular basis 4 deifferent anti-spyware software (spy-bot, ad-aware, AVG, SUPERAntiSpyware) and I always have an anti-keylogger soft running...

I study in computer technologie so I'm an above average user. I can garantie you my comp is safe... Maybe this one was so new that the virus/spyware/keylogger deffinitions were not up to date...

Kinda makes FTP's software look bad, but still - props to FTP's security staff?

If you haven't been using another computer to login to FTP, then barring some funky inside job (extremely unlikely, I assume pwds are 1 way encrypted, etc), or funky man in the middle attack (or something of that nature, also extremely unlikely), the breech is on your end. I would certainly recommend a reformat.
