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 :
