Default Re: Stars account hacked

Back in the late '90s I played a ton of chess on yahoo, and ID hacking was very big back then, and this was just for the name of the ID, and maybe the stats or ranking. If that happened on yahoo for a dumb chess name, think of how much effort people are putting into accounts with 10s of thousands of dollars in them. Yes I understand that online poker is much more secure then yahoo chess was back in the late 90s, but you need to protect your assetts better then an 8 digit alphanumeric password...
