Re: SBRUGBY POSSIBLY HACKED
I got hacked 1,5 years ago when playing b2b. Guy in chat asked for cash, I did not respond. After a while he started calling me by my first+family name (on b2b a player can have basically how many account he/she wants. This account was 2 days old and I had not told anyone about it, so basically people could not know it was me), he wrote my addresse, Email and that he will take my money. Everything in the chat. I'm not very good in poker and even worse with computers so I did not know what to do except panic. Log out, call my friend to change my password, write an Email to support saying I hold them responsible if any money goes away from the account in any way and that the IP number I'm Emailing from is the only number I ever log in from, from now on. Same night in msn a guy claiming to Mikael Thuritz(I don't know the real M.T) starts writing me, my msn Email is not the same as my poker Email. This turns out to be the same guy now saying he is coming to kill and that he knows where I live. No I panic even more, not because I belived him but that someone obviously was in my computer. Check my Email, still no answer from support. Right after "Thuritz" logs out I get added by [Eail]24hpoker@ support.com[/Email, which is identical with their support mail. Ok finally, I thought. The conversation started normally, they would look into it and value my action and bla bla bla. Then all of a sudden they write.."you really don't think we will help you do you?" I go.."what?" It turned out to be the same guy again, this saying how he would kill he. I took pictures of the chat with the addresse he was writing from, pulled the plug to my computer and asked my friend to Email support together with the pictures. If they did not want to help me before now surely they would, right? Wrong, got one answer from them and have not heard anything from them. Ok I'm not a highstake superstar like Sbrugby but on b2b the player pool is quite small and a 5-10/10-20 and occasionally 50-100 (on tilt obviously) player is much more valuable to them compared to the same player on Stars for example.
Point of my post is,
1) Never play b2b
2) Get different Emails and passwords for everything
3) Start using Gmail and NEVER hotmail
After starting with number 3 Ihave never experienced any problems
