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 : [ QUOTE ] >>From: Full Tilt Poker - Security <security@fulltiltpoker.com> >>To: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX> >>Subject: Re: URGENT ACCOUNT HACKED!!!! (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) >>Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2007 13:09:32 -0800 (PST) >> >>Hello XXXXXXXXXXX, >> >>This message is to confirm that your account, "XXXXXXXXXX", has been >>suspended as per your request. >> >>We are currently investigating this issue and will respond to you >>shortly. >> >>Regards, >> >>Heather >>Security and Fraud >>Full Tilt Poker [/ QUOTE ] I followed with a more torought e-mail telling them when I last logged in (basically the stuff at the top of this post) and my account balance this morning. 40min later : [ QUOTE ] From: "Full Tilt Poker - Security" <security@fulltiltpoker.com> To: "XXXXXXXXXXXX" <XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX> Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 4:56 PM Subject: Re: URGENT ACCOUNT HACKED!!!!

(rest of e-mail is security tips) [/ QUOTE ] Can't expres how relived I was to read this. I was very happy with the quick response to my mail action taken.

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?

[/ QUOTE ] 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. |
